24. Both quarters too full (with the general shape correct.)— 

 Heat the whole shoe and, holding it on edge on the face of the anvil, 

 strike down on the elevated quarter. This will narrow or close the 

 shoe, but will not change its general shape. 



25. Both quarters too narrow (with the general shape cor- 

 rect). — Heat the whole shoe and, holding one heel-on the face of the 

 anvil and one on the side, strike on the toe. This will open or 

 spread the shoe without changing its general shape. 



A perfect fit having been obtained the nail holes are repunched 

 if necessary, and the whole shoe neatly finished with the rasp.
