The importance of the trestle-board to the Operative Mason needs no elucidation. It furnishes him all the in- formation necessary to complete the task assigned him. In the transition from Operative to Speculative Masonry the trestle-board was very properly retained as one of the emblems to teach a Mason his duty.
