Note 39 — Chapter XIII · SIMPLE SUMMER COTTAGES
Reading edition
To find the number of steps for a given situation, find the height, as just shown, from floor to floor, 102" for example. Assume, for trial, a satisfactory height for each step, as 7". Divide 102 by 7, which gives 144/7 for the number of steps. To make the number even, call it 14, and you have only to divide 102 by 14 to get the exact height of each step.
