Pitching piece

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004339

A horizontal timber at a stair landing that supports the floor of the platform and gives the sloping stringpieces of the adjoining flights something to bear against. It takes the load passed down by the strings, so its position fixes the level of the landing.
