Cut four pieces of tin lo^in. long and 3iin. wide, fold a seam along the two edges ^in. wide, then turn these up at right angles jin., and we shall get a trough in section like this | (. At ono end cut the corner, and turn up the edge ^in. thus | as this will have to be placed to the bottom, and form the ledge for the comb baskets to rest upon. The frame for keejjing these together, C C C C (Fig. 2), being 12in. by lOin., we shall Avant strips of tin Ifin. wide with a seam folded on one edge ^in. wide and ^in. wire folded in the other edge. These strips must be bent at right angles, so that when they are soldered together they may form two square bands 12in. by lOin. Fig. 3 will show the arrange- ment of these at the top and bottom of the framework. The four uprights can now be soldered on to these bands. Place one of these with the wired edge down, and with a little solder tack the uprights in their proper pasition. It will be noticed, by referring to Fig. 2, that they have to be fixed to the long sides, C C, taking care that the piece turned up at the end of the slides is at the FIG. 3. Now tack on the top band to the upper ends of these slides, with the wired edge uppermost. Be careful before finally soldering that everything is perfectly square, or the cages will not slide in properly. When it is found correct the whole framework can be laid down in a position most suitable for finally solder- ing all together. On the two narrow sides solder two brace wires diagonally from the opposite corners, as shown in Fig. 3 One will lie flat against the wire cage when it is in position and the other to complete the X will have to be bent where the two wires intersect, so as to make it also lie flat. If these wires be ^in. thick and are well soldered at the ends and at the place of int
