Tech/Engineering
English term or phrase: dog-leg design
This describes the way a mobile stairway tower (scaffolding) is constructed - i.e the direction of the stair units alternates on each level rather then the stair units being parallel - so they form a sort of zigzag... apologies for the somewhat clumsy description - Many thanks for any suggestions
