To properly procure this result, the room orrooms must be so constructed as to be entirely tight, permittingof a series of ventilating pipes on each side of the room, orrooms, by means of which an average temperature would beobtained, and the installation of two 2 in. steam pipes around the squared up, the shoes and wedges, which are finished except forplaning the faces, are put in place and supported by the pedestalbinders.

On the outside of the frame rail, directly over the centerof the pedestal, a circle 1% in. in diameter is scribed. Twoparallel blocks are then placed on top of the frame, about 12 , and a steel square, resting on the parallel blocks, is linedto the scribed circle. The position of the two steel spindles isthen adjusted by means of the set screws until they touch theedge of the square, which places them in the exact center of thepedestal jaws and in a line perpendicular to the top of the
