Dip the splinter into a shellac solu-tion and touch the knot, which should beon the side of the wire away from themicroscope. As seen in the field of themicroscope, the wire and marker will pre-sent the appearance shown in Fig. 75. ?^- ^? To prevent troublesome oscillation and the turning of the wire, thefollowing device may be employed. It consists of a pulley fastenedto a wooden block. Upon this block isplaced another smaller one.
