Small hinges and thumb-latch are orovided for the door. Galvanized sheet iron, with numerous small holes in it, is used for making the bottom of the Drier. To prevent direct heat from coming in con- tact with the product, and also to distribute the heat by radiation, a piece of galvanized sheet iron is placed 2 inches above the bot- tom. This piece is 3 inches shorter and 3 inches narrower than the bottom and rests on two wires fastened to the sides. The trays are made of wooden frames of 1-inch strips, to which is tacked galvanized wire screen. Each tray should be 3 inches shorter than the Drier and enough narrower to allow it to slide easily on the supports in being put in or taken out. In placing the trays in the Drier push the lower one back as far as it will go, leaving a 3-inch space in front. Place the next tray even with the front, leaving the space at the back. Alternate all the trays in this way, to facilitate the circulation of the heated air. It is well to have a ventilating opening, 6 by 2 inches, in the top of the Drier to discharge moisture. The fF^niSl^if trays should be shifted during the drying process, to procure uniform- ity of drying. One of the sim- plest forms of homemade Drier is a tray with screen, suspended over stove or range shown in Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resembl
