Thirdly, the crowns must be fitted withcap backings as previously described(Fig. 6), except that the soldering is notdone until the whole bridge is thus soldered, the ordinary backingwith the facings, becomes continuous withthe cap backings with their pins, whilethe latter are firmly united to the hollowpin crowns. The bridge is now soldered BEST.—A SYSTEM OF CROWNING AND BRIDGING, ETC. 1249 in the usual manner
