This was illustrated in Glean-ings some time ago. Greenfield, Cal. MY WIRE-REEL AND WIRING-BOARD BY J. E. JORDAN The illustration shows my wire-^vindingdevice. By using this device, all the wireswill be of the right length to wire fully theframes, and all will be cut at one To make this, bore a hole in a block andnail the block to the corner of your honey-house. This will serve as a bearing for oneside of the reel. Put up the framework forthe other side of thereel as shown. Selecta board 1/2x7x391/2inches, and exactly inthe center nail theaxle, a square piece ofwood, rounded at theends as in the illustra-tion. Nail a small strip, 1/2x1/2x7, acrossinchesThis iswire for ^ Cutting Strip the board 3from the raise thecutting. Wind on all the wirethat the spool holds,then with clamps holdthe wire tight about 6or 7 inches from eachend of the board. Nowwith a pair of tinnerssnips cut the wire atthe half-inch strip, 324 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE and nail the board to a table within reach.
