The roof sections have their central meeting edges rebated,
and for convenience of transport as well as for lowering them on
to the cornice members to which they are tongued, they each have
four (two on each side) silver coated copper handles of staple
form (see fig. ...). Their tongues are made of wood and copper,
alternate.
The four members of the crowning cavetto cornice and roll
moulding are tongued to the chief beam or frieze of the side, end,
and front sections (see fig. ...). Their tongues are made of wood
and copper, alternate.
The four sections of the under-structure are made and joined
up in similar manner as those of the first innermost
shrine (see p. ...).
The various sections and members of this shrine bear the following
“guide” marks and cardinal points:-
