  TRIGLYPH - Definition
triglyphe.] (Arch.) An ornament in the frieze of the Doric order, repeated at equal intervals.
Each triglyph consists of a rectangular tablet, slightly projecting, and divided nearly to the top by two parallel and perpendicular gutters, or channels, called glyphs, into three parts, or spaces, called femora.
A half channel, or glyph, is also cut upon each of the perpendicular edges of the tablet.

The spaces between the triglyphs were covered by wooden slabs, which in the Doric temples are known as metopes.
The triglyph's primary function was to protect the roof beams from the weather while the metope acted as ventilation system that protected the wood from catching on fire.
The epistyle is the frieze, consisting grooved slabs known as triglyphs and separated by blank panels known as metopes.

 The ISV Triglyph
The ISV triglyph logo as constituted here is a combination of all three historic images, thus symbolizing the historical roots from which New Testament era believers (the ICHTHUS) emerged as a direct result of Old Testament prophecy (the Menorah).
Because the message of the entire counsel of God consisting of both Old and New Testaments is for Jewish believers also, we have symbolized the present and future hopes of modern Israel by the Magen David.
Because the ISV's triglyph is a historic symbol, it is in the public domain.

 Doric order - Definition, explanation
The triglyphs are decoratively grooved and represent the original wooden end-beams, which rest on the plain frieze that occupies the lower half of the entablature.
A triglyph is centered above every column, with another (or sometimes two) between columns, though the Greeks felt that the corner triglyph should form the corner of the entablature, creating an inharmonious mismatch with the supporting column.
All the columns are centered under a triglyph in the frieze, except for the corner columns.

In order to form the ceiling, other beams were laid across the building with their ends on these architraves.
On the end of these beams, they could be channeled to make a triglyph.
On the top of a triglyph there would be another beam which would be placed for the overhanging rafters.

 The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Triglyph is an architectural term for the vertically channeled tablets of the Doric frieze, so called because of the angular channels in them, two perfect and one divided, the two chamfered angles or hemiglyphs being reckoned as one.
The triglyph is largely thought to be a tectonic representation in stone of the wooden beam ends of the typical primitive hut, as described by Vitruvius and other Classical and Renaissance writers.
The wooden beams were notched in three separate places in order to cast their rough-cut ends mostly in shadow.

In particular, the form, size, and placement of the triglyphs in the frieze are not necessarily demanded by the logic of timber construction and the configuration of early temple superstructures.
Depictions of multiple tripods alternating with decorative motifs recall the rhythmical disposition of the triglyph and metope frieze, while certain small-scale details on bronze tripod legs find counterparts in non-canonic types of triglyph.
Some of these themes can strike chords with Greek temples, so there thus emerges the possibility that the triglyph frieze was invented to articulate visually the programmatic concerns of their builders.

 American Journal of Archaeology / Article Abstract
The most striking manifestation of this shift is the widespread adoption of a 2:3 ratio between the widths of triglyphs and metopes, a relationship that automatically generated column spacings equivalent to 5 triglyph widths.
The main contribution of this article is show that the triglyph width was much more than just one consideration out of many; it constituted the very lynchpin of a fully-fledged modular design method.
While my proposals are chiefly based on an analysis of the facades of ten relatively well preserved hexastyle temples, complementary observations are also telling.

 Triglyphs   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Triglyphs are vertical blocks, usually aligned over and between each column.
They consist of two vertical grooves (glyphs), bordered by two hemi- or half-glyphs (hence the triglyph or three-glyph).
Origin of triglyphs: In early times, before stone was substituted for wood in Greek temples, the ends of beams that projected beyond walls were cut off and ornamented with boards painted with blue wax.
