Face stones shall tail into the work for not less than their height and at least 1/3rd the number of stones shall
tail into the work for a length not less than twice their height but not more than three-fourths the thickness of
the wall whichever is smaller. These should be laid as headers and stretchers alternately to break joints by at
least 75 mm.
The face stones shall be squared on all joints and beds; the bed joints being hammer or chisel dressed true and
square for at least 80 mm back from the face and the side joints for at least 40 mm. The face of the stone shall
