Explanation:
This is about specialty woodworking joints used to make frames, or stretchers, for artists' canvas (for painting). It's very important that the frames should be perfectly square (right-angle = 90-degree corners) when assembled and throughout the time they are used. These specialized joints are designed to make them square, & make it all but impossible to knock them out of square (desescuadrar).
In this case, they combine the dovetail joint, which is very strong & stable and the tongue and fork joint. The notch into which the fork is fitted is moved a ways inward from the edge of the slat in which it is cut, so that the fork is enclosed on both sides by solid wood, preventing it from sliding or rotating out of square.
These issues in the design & construction of stretchers for artists'canvas are discussed in detail (in Spanish) here: http://www.tiendadelartista.com/WebRoot/StoreES3/Shops/64371...
