Shaft capital - Palazzo Danieli
Now in fig 1 the distance c, c5 or the depth from moulding

excess of the abacus c2d or fg fig 1 last page = 1 1/3 in.
inches and this width of cusp or c1 c2 = 11½ in, and c5r
a b 1½ (r the angle including the roll) = 1¼ so that the entire width

d e 11/8 of the abacus, d e or e b = 1 " 4½: therefore the

e f ([diagram]) 10¼ but (-) 9¾ therefore the advance from the roll angle r to f is
f g ([diagram]) 2¼ 2 in - 11/3 in = 2/3 in. The distance r-r2 ought
