Transitional Scribe Rule (Timberbee)

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

Transitional Scribe Rule refers to a Change in, mainly, Conversion of Timbers prior to their being added to Layups. It is most evident in the New England States, first showing up sometime in the late 1700's. It precedes Square Rule A process first seen in the Very Early 1800's, in a similar Geographic region.

In Transitional Scribe Rule, the areas of the Timbers which were to be joined to one another were often "Diminished" in something now reminiscent of Determining the Theoretical Within the Real -- The Basest Description of Square Rule. This seems to have been done to make Scribe Rule a bit faster and Easier, but, in no way more aestheticaly pleasing.

Generaly, Transitional Scribe Rule Structures were, like Square Rule Structures, either House Frames where None of the Timbers, other than Cellar and Roof, were visible to the occupants; Or OutBuildings, such as Barns, where beauty was far less an issue.
