The hist men-tioned form is the one shown in the drawing. In either casethe lower part of said plate rests partly upon the base oftherails* and partly upon the outside lip of ihechair, as shownin Fig. 3,. 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 bey end the head of the rails, would interferewithte shegetianof the wheels. its lower part, like thelower part of plate C, rests partly upon the base ofthe rails,and partly upon the inside lip of the chair, as shown in themodel. From the inner side of this pbUe, projects twostrong horizontal tongues C C- which pass through slots inthe 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, toactas hearings for the tongues C C, and serving, also,inpart, to cenfine the plate 0. The ends of the tongues arefurnished with vertical slots to receive kevs, which arfidriven through them, and corresponding vertical slotsin thechair. The rails and chair are secured to the ioint tie hyspik
