A portion of the right handle is as broken off at ir ; the lower extremity bein_' twisted to a riv'ht angle, so as to lie flat on the sole-bar CO which it is bolted, along with the palm of the fore-bar at A. (538.) To determine the position of the points in this body-frame, let the zero-point O, as already fixed, be marked on the beam at 15 inches behind the center of the coulter-box K. and the whole beam carved ai-Teeably to the dimensions given fig. 52, Plate IX.; tlien, the bight from the bottom of the solo-bar to the top edge of the beam at tlie zero-point will be 14i inches, as before stated, le«s the ihicknes-s of the sole-shoe at that point, or equal to 1-4 inches. The fore-part of the sole-bar at e will have its position determined when a siraieht-e<lge applied to its lower side from d to e, and extending as far as the point of the beam, will place the U[iper edge of the beam, where it spreads into the ./?. The lower stretcher, by which the right handle is connected to the left, is marked y. and r r mark the bolts for the land-side plate. Fig. 74. already alluded to, is a front view of the gland on which the fore-part of the mould-board is supported. and this is seen also in profile in fig. 75. which is a transverse section of the body-frame on the line x x.
