Another strip of wood is fastened to the lower side of the cleats to which the two strips are nailed. This serves as a bottom, and protects the points of the pins which project through the piece of cork. In spreading a specimen a narrow piece of paper is used on each side to hold the wings in place till they are properly arranged (Fig. 19, a). The wings are moved into position by slipping them forward or backward under the slips of paper, using for this purpose a fine pin, which is inserted near a strong vein of the wing. 32. ailllilllillliLUBiiii'i'lU' Fig. 19.—A spreading-board.
