corner block

1. Scenery. Finishing out the flat terminology, a corner block is the method of attaching the rails to the stiles in the corners on the back side of the flat. These are a 45 degree isosceles triangle of some thin material like 1/4" plywood (preferred) or Luan or Masonite (occasionally acceptable).

2. Entertainment trussing. A cube that allows box truss sections to be connected at right angles to each other. The most versatile is the Six-way Corner Block which allows sections to be joined in any dimension.
