  Fly-books, 
  as 
  commonly 
  made, 
  are 
  provided 
  at 
  one 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   with 
  fixed 
  hooks 
  or 
  clips, 
  into 
  which 
  the 
  fly-hooks 
  are 
  hooked, 
  and 
  at 
  

   the 
  other 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  with 
  spring- 
  retainers, 
  which 
  are 
  provided 
  

   with 
  hooks, 
  on 
  which 
  -the 
  loops 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  snells 
  are 
  secured. 
  

   These 
  retainers 
  are 
  elastic, 
  so 
  that 
  they 
  will 
  hold 
  the 
  snells 
  stretched 
  

   taut, 
  and 
  they 
  usually 
  are 
  formed 
  by 
  rubber 
  bands 
  or 
  spiral 
  springs 
  of 
  

   light 
  wire. 
  To 
  hold 
  the 
  retainers 
  in 
  position 
  and 
  prevent 
  them 
  from 
  

   becoming 
  entangled 
  when 
  not 
  holding 
  snells 
  separate 
  eye-guides, 
  one 
  

   for 
  each 
  retainer, 
  are 
  provided, 
  and 
  through 
  these 
  the 
  retainers, 
  free 
  

   to 
  move 
  lengthwise 
  thereon, 
  severally 
  pass. 
  Two 
  forms 
  of 
  eye-guides 
  

   are 
  shown. 
  The 
  eye-guides 
  for 
  the 
  spiral-spring 
  retainers 
  consist 
  each 
  

   of 
  a 
  short 
  tube. 
  Those 
  for 
  the 
  india-rubber 
  retainers 
  consist 
  of 
  rings, 
  

   and 
  two 
  eye-guides, 
  which 
  are 
  coincident 
  with 
  each 
  other 
  on 
  opposite 
  

   sides 
  of 
  the 
  leaf, 
  are 
  formed 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  piece 
  of 
  tube 
  or 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  ring, 
  

   which 
  is 
  flattened 
  slightly 
  and 
  inserted 
  through 
  a 
  slot 
  in 
  the 
  leaf 
  as 
  in 
  

   Figs. 
  2 
  and 
  3. 
  The 
  single 
  tube 
  or 
  ring 
  thus 
  applied, 
  serves 
  as 
  an 
  eye- 
  

   guide 
  for 
  two 
  retainers, 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  leaf, 
  and 
  is 
  held 
  in 
  

   place 
  by 
  the 
  retainers 
  passing 
  through 
  it. 
  At 
  the 
  other 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  book, 
  

   corresponding 
  hooks 
  or 
  clips 
  on 
  opposite 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  leaf 
  are 
  secured 
  

   by 
  a 
  siugle 
  rivet. 
  To 
  get, 
  without 
  lengthening 
  the 
  book, 
  a 
  retainer 
  ca- 
  

   pable 
  of 
  considerable 
  elongation, 
  at 
  the 
  left 
  hand 
  of 
  Fig. 
  1 
  is 
  shown 
  a 
  

   spiral- 
  spring, 
  attached 
  at 
  one 
  end 
  to 
  the 
  leaf 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  other 
  to 
  a 
  cord 
  

   which 
  passes 
  around 
  a 
  pully, 
  and 
  has 
  at 
  its 
  free 
  end 
  a 
  hook. 
  When 
  

   the 
  looped 
  end 
  of 
  a 
  snell 
  is 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  hook 
  the 
  spring 
  will 
  be 
  elon- 
  

   gated 
  in 
  a 
  doAvnward 
  direction, 
  while 
  the 
  cord 
  will 
  be 
  drawn 
  upward. 
  

   Eye-guides 
  may 
  be 
  applied 
  both 
  to 
  the 
  spring 
  and 
  attached 
  cord. 
  The 
  

   pulleys 
  are 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  leaf 
  by 
  a 
  wire 
  inserted 
  through 
  the 
  leaf, 
  then 
  

   bent

  turned 
  outward 
  at 
  a 
  right 
  angle, 
  the 
  

   portions 
  of 
  the 
  wire 
  thus 
  projecting 
  laterally 
  from 
  the 
  leaf 
  on 
  opposite 
  

   sides 
  serving 
  as 
  the 
  journals 
  for 
  two 
  pulleys, 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   leaf, 
  and 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  wire 
  being 
  then 
  turned 
  down 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  

   pulleys
