In the dimensioned drawing shown in Plate 15, the baseboard was designed to be a square, measuring 24 inches on each side. When the photographer trial-fitted the 24-by-24 inch square baseboard during a test session, he discovered that the 24-inch depth caused the baseboard to project so far forward that he had trouble positioning his camera tripod for close-up pictures. Therefore, the depth-dimension was reduced by eight inches to a new depth of 16 inches, permitting better angles for the tripod-mounted camera.
