SEPARATE HANDGRASPS 99 



Glue this cork in place, following with others 

 until the total length of grasp, inclusive of 

 reel-seat, is nine inches, when the wood core 

 is cut off and the cork finished and fitted with 

 a butt-cap. A handgrasp of this form will

 will be covered by the after end of the reel- 

 seat, the grasp is wound a few turns with cord 

 and the reel-seat fitted over it. The core is 

 then coated with glue and the grasp pushed 

 forward until the reel-seat and the tapered 

 end of the grasp fit closely, when the winding 

 is resumed and tied off at the shouldered butt 

 end. The butt cap and reel-seat being riveted 

 in place, this separate grasp is ready for shel-

If to be double, and cord-wound, the for-

 the taper (Fig. 18) pushed up against the welt 

 on the ferrule, and a few turns of cord wound 

 on the tapered end of the upper grasp, then 

 this grasp glued in place on the wooden core, 

 with the winding covered by the taper. Con-
