WAX EXTRACTORS.

and another strip tacked on over all. The object 

 is to have the glass air-tight in the frame, and 

 this can easily be secured by a judicious use of 

 putty or white lead. The frame may now be 

 attached to the box by means of a couple of hinges 

 at the back, and two hooks in front will keep it 

 down close. 



A tinplate shelf or tray is now to be made, the 

 length of the inside, and approaching within an 

 inch or so of the front. Three sides of this shelf

are to be turned up for 1 in., as also the corners, 

 to get a touch of solder. Tray supports are now 

 to be affixed to the inside. If the box is lined 

 with tinplate, these supports would take the form 

 of pieces of tinplate soldered to the ends, and 

 turned up at right angles, like L iron. If, how- 

 ever, the extractor is not lined, strips of wood 

 tacked against the ends would do. The tray is 

 to slope slightly forward so that the wax will run 

 into the receptacle placed in front for it. The 

 strips which support it will be placed about half- 

 way up the ends.
