The Science of Stairs

[Mark P]

I came accross this PDF slide show on stair construction. I thought it might be usefully to someone.

That's a decent little educational slide show.

I put it in my link catalog; Thanks.

That's a great find. Thanks.

If anyone want's to really delve into the subject, try to find a pair of books by John Templer. One is called "The Staircase: History and Theories." The other is "The Staircase: Studies of Hazards, Falls, and Safer Design."

He takes his stairways seriously.
