Longue cordelette que l'on tend pour matérialiser les alignements des maçonneries en construction, des lignes de pente en couverture. 3, record 4, French, - cordeau
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Il existe deux sortes de cordeaux en maçonnerie : pour marquer le tracé d'une tranchée, le bord d'une allée maçonnée, etc., on utilise un rouleau de bonne ficelle de chanvre, que l'on fixe sur de petits piquets de bois ou de métal. Ce type de cordeau peut également servir à matérialiser une ligne (une horizontale, par exemple, pour permettre l'alignement de parpaings). Pour tracer, on utilise un cordeau traceur qui permet de marquer en bleu des lignes au sol ou sur un mur. 4, record 4, French, - cordeau
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
