Sta′ging.

A form of scaffold used by builders, painters, and others.

In Fig. 5520, the staging rises between guide-posts, the elevating power being a winch, ropes, and pulleys.

Staging and frame.

In Fig. 5521, the outer frame has an upper, braced stage and a lower suspended stage, and its uprights are bolted to vertical pieces inside the building.

Fig. 5522 is a staging for shingling or repairing roofs. The ends of the portable staging support are provided with toothed plates, which fit into the roof and prevent the scaffolding placed on the support from slipping.
