Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gordon's Work on Cutting Mens' Garments: A Complete Treatise on the Art and Science of Delineating All Garments for Men; Especially Prepared for Self-Instruction
In all these explanations, whenever the fractions M, M, M, etc., are used, unless expressly stated otherwise, they are according to the several divisions of one-half of the full size of the breast, waist or seat, as are to be found on the face side of the square shown on the illustration.
For example: The distance from any one point to another is given as M waist, the full waist being, say 32 inches. To determine the distance find half of 32, which is I6, on the divi sions of fourths, which you will find is at B on the illustration. From there to the angle of the square at A is M waist, or 4 inches.
