Fig. 53) shows the foundation fixed in Standard frame; the remaining implements are what are used in a complete wiring outfit, the guide-block being a modification of that shown in Figs. 46 and 47.

Another way is just to dip the edge of the founda- tion In melted glue and insert it into the slit sawn for the purpose. A very small quantity of glue should be used, or it will show in the comb when this is cut out of the section. Some manu- facturers make sections with a groove all round. The foundation, cut large enough^ is inserted into the groove, as shown in Fig. 56; the section s then closed ready for use. Most appli- ance manufacturers also, in addition to the groove on the sides, now have the top sides of sections sawn Fig. 55.— Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cowan, T.
