Thereare nearly 10,000 extracting-frames in use,and only once in a very long while, whenthe wood is cross-grained, can a saggingtop-bar be found. This top-bar gives meone row of cells to each frame more thanthe % top-bar. Next, I get the use of onemore cell of comb foundation to each sheet,which, in 1000 frames, is quite an item. The illustration shows our method of put-ting in brood foundation. Upon a longboard are put three smaller boards that justslip inside the Langstroth frame, and areof a thickness that, when the frame is slip-ped over this smaller board, a sheet offoundation upon this smaller board rests onits upper edge against the center of the top-bar.
