Generated explanation

The illustration shows three methods of connecting wooden stair treads to inclined stringers. At left, tread ends fit into routed recesses in the side of a solid stringer, with an exposed recess showing the connection profile. In the center, treads rest on cleats attached to the inside face of a solid stringer. At right, treads bear on the horizontal cuts of a notched stringer. Portions of the treads are cut away for clarity, and no defective connections are identified.
