1On line EE, find 2 points 22 parts from the perpendicular on each side qq; open the compasses from point q to point p on line EE, and draw the small curve from p to r on each side.
3Open the compasses from point 20, 16 1/3 parts, and draw the two corners ss.
5On line QQ open the compasses 24 parts from the perpendicular, and mark on each side the point bb; from point bb, open the compasses to the point where the line RR is joined by the curve from V to R, and continue the curve from cc to dd.
7On the line NN open the compasses 16 1/2 parts from the perpendicular, and mark on each side the point t; open the compasses from point t to the point where the line PP is joined by the curve from the point i and draw the small curve.
9Open the compasses to the width of 19 3/4 parts from point 50, and trace on each side the corner dd.
11We will now proceed to show how the arch of the violin is made in the direction of the perpendicular.
