Basic Problems in chaining

To run a parallel to chain line through a given point
I Method
AB is the chain line, C is the given point through which parallel line is to be drawn. Through ‘C’ drop a perpendicular CE to the chain line. Measure CE. Select any other point F on the line and erect a perpendicular FD. Make FD=EC. Join CD.

II Method
Select any point F on the chain line (Fig(b)). Join CF and bisect at G. Select any other point E on the chain line. Join EG and prolong it to D such that EG = GD. Join C and D.
