There are 10 rows, south-north, in the body, including bricks at the juncture. 10 *B*₂s in each of the 2nd and the 9th row are replaced by 8 *B*₁s each and 10 *B*₂s in the 6th by 20 *B*₅s, with a gain of 6 bricks to make up the deficit. The arrangement of bricks with these adjustments is shown in Fig. 12 and their distribution over various parts in Table 4.
