It will be necessary to have some wooden shells for the accommodation of the artificial cells, as seen No. i, Fig- 37 ; the dotted line shows the cavity which is filled with wax, and while this is warm the cell base is made in it by means of a forming stick. It is also advisable to have some flanged holders into which the shells will slide lightly, No. 2 of the same illustration, the dotted lines showing the situation of the hole, while in No. 3 it is seen in longitudinal section. In No. 4 the holder, with shell in situation, is shown in longitudinal section, while No. 5 gives the whole thing complete. Next cut a division board in half, then take a strip of wood 143111. long and \m. thick and drive some fine iin. sprigs through it right down the centre about i|in. apart. This is nailed on to the bottom of the cut division board, so that the heads of the sprigs are up agaii^st solid wood, which prevents them ^penetrating right into the division lx)ard when the shell is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London
