tilting fillet


Explanation:
chanlatte - Latte de bois refendue en biseau, de section trapézoïdale ; fixée sur le pied des chevrons d'une charpente, la chanlatte reçoit le premier rang de tuiles ou d'ardoises ....
[Dicobat]

tilting fillet, doubling piece, skew fillet (USA also cant strip). A thick horizontal board, sometimes triangular in cross-section, nailed across the rafters or roof boarding under the double eaves course to tilt it slightly less steeply than the rest of the roof and to ensure that the tails of the lowest tiles or slates bed tightly on each other
[Scott/Penguin Dict. of Building]

The diagrams in both books make it doubly clear we are talking about the same thing.

A tilting fillet is laid ACROSS the bottom of the rafters and is no wider than the last row of tiles. It need not necessarily change the angle of the roof, but provides a solid support for the bottoms of the last tiles, so they don\'t rest simply on the fascia board.

Sprockets (coyaux - see below) are tapered pieces aligned on the rafters that change the eaves angle over a much greater distance (that\'s how the roof of my house is built, so the roof \"flares out\" towards the bottom). I suppose in some cases sprockets will in turn support a tilting fillet.

Explanation:
It all depends whether the roof has open eaves or closed eaves. For the open eaves variety, the term used in the UK construction industry is a tilting fillet, as quite rightly put by Bourth; for closed eaves, we call it a sprocket.
Those are the terms listed in the UK Building Construction Handbook and I fixed plently of them in my time when working as a carpenter on site.
