In the center and at the side of eachband to be approximated cut out a trianguhir piece, leaving, when the twohalves are fastened together (c, c), a square aperture in the middle of theplate. Cut out two holes {gg^gg) at each side, half an inch apart. Theholes are made large, so that the part of the chamois-skin ring, to bedescribed, with the linen thread, will easily pass through. From a piece ofchamois or sheepskin cut off several long strips, like wide shoestrings, andtwist two or three of them together so as to form a ring. This ring [d) isfastened to the plate, as shown in Fig. 844, with catgut sutures (c).
