If measuring 5 feet at the base, 17 gabions will be required in the first course, and 16 in the second, making 33 gabions in all, to which must be added 3 fascines, if an intermediate course of fascines be used, between the two tiers of gabions, as shown in profile, in the first figure in article 97 For a 6 feet gabion traverse, 1 more gabion in the first course will be necessary, making 34 gabions in all, with 3 fascines, as before, if used. I say, if used, because we have often dispensed with fascines, in the traverses made for practice at this establishment, leav ng however a mass of earth 9 inche...
