In corner fix up a small platform 1 ft. high, 24 in. square, for 

 ixtractor to stand on. Two brackets of wood 2-in. by 1-in. are' 

 next wanted. Hinge them on to a piece of 2-in. by 1-in. stuff, and 

 screw this against back, letting one be an inch higher than the 

 other, and fixing them about 3 ft. 10 in. apart. Then get a piece 

 of white wood 4 ft. 6 in. long by 17 in. wide, and in this make 

 V-grooves 2 in. apart, cut lengthways. Screw some small brass 

 'iilates on its edge. When done, place this on the brackets for a 

 draining-board to stand boxes of shallow frames on after being 

 through the extractor. It can also be used as an ' uncapping-stand.' 

 Cover the draining-board with a couple of coats of pure shellac 

 varnish, and then it will be able to be kept clean with little trouble.
