Fig. 19. Our first problem is shown in Fig. lU, and is known as a sinkdrainer. It is often the case that the trap under the kitchen sink. 86 SHEET-METAL WORK 27 is choked or blocked, owing to a collection of refuse matter. Toavoid this a sink drainer is used, and is fastened in iDosition throughthe wire loops a^ 5 and c. The refuse matter is poured into thedrainer, from which it is easily remoVed after the fluid has passedthrough the perforations. These drainers may be made of tin or ofblack or galvanized iron, but where a good job is wanted 16-ouncecoiDper should be used. To obtain the pattern for any sized drainer, X^roceed as follows: First draw theplan of the drainer A B 0 in Fig. 20,making A B and B O each two inchesand forming a right angle. Thenusing B as center and A B as radius,draw the arc A C In its proper i^osi-tion above the plan construct the sideelevation, making E D 2 inches high,and draw the line F D. Then willF E D be the side elevation. Dividethe arc A C into equal s^mces as shownby the small figures 1 to 5. For thepattern use F D as radius, and withD in Fig. 21 as center strike the arc1 5.
