Wall and roof cladding
This is a method of attaching slates to roofs. I have found several references but no translation. It seems to refer to a type of laying slates in a staggered way. I even have a drawing and have found another illustration at http://www.eternit.be/fr/~/media/4EAE91025A824BFAB9ECADC5E23...
Traditionally, slates are laid with an overlap along the whole width of the slate but this method seems to provide for an overlap at the edges.
As usual, any help appreciated.

Note from asker:
| Many thanks. I didn't go with "cribwork" because I believe it is not a term used in the UK. Many thanks for the suggestion |

staggered butt style
Note from asker:
| Thanks for your imput. I went with "open slating" because the drawings I had did not show a butted style - in fact quite the contrary because the slates were overlapped. |
