The iHst men-tioned form is the one shown in the In either casethe lower purt of said plate vesta partly upon the biise of therails, and partly upon the outside Up of the chair, as shownin Fig. Fig. 2 is a view of inside plate D, which is applied onthe inner side of the joint This plate must fit into the in the side of the rail, as its upper part can not projectlaterally beyond the heail of the rails, or it would interfere>vith the flanges of the wheels. And its lower part, like thelower part of plate C, rests partly upon the base of the rails,ftnd partly upon the inside lip of the chair, as shown in themodel. From the inner side of this jilate, projects twoBtrong hori/nntal tongues C C, which pass through slots inthe ends of the rails, and corresponding ones in the outsirleplate C. These tongues rest upon projections, which areprovided on the chair to stand up outside of the plate C, toact as bearings tor the tongues C C, and Bcrving, also, inpart, to conflne the plate C.
