out into comb, prior to the honey season; and without 
trimming or fitting, or cutting in any way, the same may 
be inserted immediately and securely into the respective 
sets of three sections without any special fastening, (4) each 
set of three sections when in use and filled with comb can 
be handled in place of single sections, with no possibility of 
either falling out during manipulation. (See Fig. 39). 
The three-side-cut sections (4+ inches by 44 inches) can 
also be used in the divided section frames, and answer 
equally as well when worked-out comb is not to be secured 
to start with, the sheet of foundation being placed across 
the three sections without cutting. This sheet of foundation 
is not quite the full depth of the frames, so that the usual 
stretching may be allowed for. 
Where 5-inch by 4-inch sections are used with three 
_ sides slit, these can be used for starting the foundation (as 
drawn combs) in the same manner as the wider, but 
completely halved sections. 
The length of the full sheet of foundation (to be placed 
directly and rapidly across three or more sections at a 
time), is gauged by trimming with a board made just 1-16th 
inch shorter than the width of the row of three or four, 
whether 42 inches by 4} inches by 2 inches, or § inches by 
4 inches by 14-inch.
