By the use of this ingenious device,any article to be repaired can be adjusted in any desired position in amuch shorter time, and with inore accuracy, than by the ordinary pro-cess of binding with wire to a piece of charcoal. The Crane Patent Sol-dering Forceps are so constructed that any two pieces can be as readilybrought together as can be done with the fingers, no matter at what angleor position you may desire them. Each part works independent of the. Fig. 257. Other, and the whole is held securely in place by means of a nut, asshown in Fig. 257, at /^, and both hands being free, charcoal can be heldbehind the article, thereby concentrating the heat, the same as whenheld directly upon it. In soft soldering it can be used to great advan-tage. The forceps £ E, revolve in parts cl d^ which are fastened to arms C C,by means of a hinge joint. The arms C C run through the collars dd^ sothat they can be lengthened or shortened, and the forceps raised orlowered as desired. The collars l>lf turn independently of each other onbase A, and being split, the whole is held firmly in position bv nut I^.See also Txveezers. SOLDERING PADS.
