These plan...I'm not sure what your question is.<br />These plans were drawn in the 1930's for the WPA and are now in the Library of Congress.<br /><br />The roof pitch was determined in modern times. We who are not educated in Practical Geometry use a ratio (5/12) to tell the carpenter what the pitch is.<br /><br />I have never seen the roof pitch called out as a number (22.5*)<br />The roof slope on this church when it was built was called out by the Lines - not by a number. See the diagram which shows the elevation laid out on the floor plan.<br />Lay out the squares for the wall on the floor, note that the ridge is in the center of the floor plan, add a Line (capitalized as the writers then did) from the wall to the ridge - Voila! a roof slope!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960577578174018923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8118094056356737952.post-3006153850253343932018-04-18T08:30:47.615-04:002018-04-18T08:30:47.615-04:00Jane, on the plans of the church built in 1820 the...Jane, on the plans of the church built in 1820 the roof pitch is called out as 5:12. Have you seen the roof pitch called out on other plans? Or do they call out the roof slope, like 22.5°SBE Buildershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295417142117771806noreply@blogger.com
