The list men-tinned form is the one shown in the drawing. In either casethe lower part of said plate rests partly upon the base of therails, and partly upon theoutside lip of thechair, as Fig. 2 is a view of inside plate D, which is applied onthe inner side of the joint This plate must fit into the re-cess in the side of the rail, as its upper part can not projectlaterally beyend the head of the rails, jv it would interferewithte shegerlanof the wheels. its lower part, like thelower part of plate C, rests partly upon the base of the rails,and partly upon the inside lip of the chair, as shown in themodel. From the inner side of this plate, projects twostrong horizontal tongues C C, which pass through slots iathe ends of the rails, and corresponding ones in the outsideplate C. These tongues rest upon projections, which areprovided on the chair to stand up outside of the plate C, toact as hearings for the tongues C C. and serving, also,inpart, tocenfinethe plate C. The ends of the tonirues arefurnished with vertical slots to receive keys, which artdriven through them,, and correspondingverttcalslotsin thechair. The rails and chair are secured to the ininttiebyspikes
