module

The diameter or half-diameter of the column (the module) served as the unit for the whole building.

One of these parts will form the module in accordance with which the adjustments are to be made as above described.

The height of a capital will be one module, and its breadth two and one sixth modules.

The arrangement is then equivalent to an Italian module, but on a large scale.

Of these parts, let one be fixed upon to form the module, and in accordance with this module the whole work is to be developed.

The capitals of each triglyph are to measure one sixth of a module.
