Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La pierre de taille, même de petites dimensions, se différencie du moellon en ce qu'elle a une place précise à occuper dans l'ouvrage dont elle va faire partie; même dans une construction en moellons assisés ou en moellons d'appareil, ceux-ci sont interchangeables; les pierres de taille ne le sont généralement pas. En effet chaque pierre de taille porte un numéro conforme à celui indiqué sur le calepin et, en principe, on ne peut la changer de place que rarement avec une autre. 1, record 5, French, - pierre%20de%20taille
