. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. June 18,1891.] THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL. 277' introduced by Mr. Abbott (Fig. 18). In this the foundation is fixed before the section is folded,. Fig 18. the sheet or strip of wax being laid flat on the the upper side of the section, and the wooden guide-block placed in position, when the roller, held firmly in the hand, is run along the edge of the wax, using some pressure at the same time. The guide-block is then turned over on to the just-pressed edge of the wax sheet, and held there while the latter is raised to its position at right angles to the joining. If the wooden wheel is kept slightly damp, and the wood of the sections perfectly dry, this method of fixing is quite secure, while, with a little practice, it can be done very rapidly. Then we have the ingenious plan of fixing foundation, perfected by Mr. Howard, in which the top bar is divided and the sides of the sec- tion grooved. The cut (Fig. 19) illustrates the method of attaching the foundation to the bar,.
