brickwork

The boiler was of wrought iron, built in brickwork, and looked like a big kitchen-boiler.

Flat or flush joints (A) are formed by pressing the protruding mortar back flush with the face of the brickwork.

Footings, as will be seen on reference to fig. 1, are the wide courses of brickwork at the base or foot of a wall.

Arches in brickwork may be classed under three heads: plain arches, rough-cut and gauged.

The joints are usually made equal in width to those of the ordinary brickwork.
