c8.t28.22

**19.9-20.4.** *Placement of bricks in the first layer.* The placement of bricks is clearly explained in Fig. 21. The rules start with the placement of B₃ bricks, —4 at the tip of the head *ABC*, 5 west of the line *DE*, 11 east of the line *KF* joining the eastern points of juncture of the wings with the body, 11 west of *JG*, the western line of juncture, 5 each on the eastern and the western side of *IH*, the junction line between the tail and the body, and finally 15 at the end of the tail *LM*. Thus 56 B₃s are used (*tā evaitāḥ ṣaṭpañcāśatpādeṣṭakāḥ*—Kapardi).
