SECTION-GLAZING OUTFIT, AND A QUEEN- INTRODUCING CAGE. We have pleasure in illustrating a new section-glazing outfit (patented), invented by Mr. Arthur H. Wilkes, of Four Oaks, of queen excluder fame. Mr. Wilkes also sends a new Queen Introducing Cage, which he claims has never yet failed, some forty to forty-three queens having been safely introduced, yellow queens to black stocks and the reverse during his experi- ments. With regard to the section-glazing outfit, the following are stated to be its advantages:—. " When the section is placed in the machine both hands are free. "It is so simple it needs scarcely any explanation. As will be seen, the section with the two glasses either side is placed in a fairly central position between the rubber-covered discs, which revolve, the lever is released and the section gripped securely; the whole may then be revolved in any direction desired to facilitate the fixing on of the laced paper. The discs will support a Aveight of 21b., and will grip anything from Ifin. to 2iin. thick. " Thirty to forty sections per hour may be glazed in faultless style, and a child can manage the machine.
