through on three sides, until in 1888 I designed my latest 

 improvement in the shape of 



Completely Divided Sections. 



The advantages of these are — (i) the foundation requires no 

 -cutting up to fit into each separate section, (2) a full sheet of 

 foundation, filling three sections at once, can be put in as 

 quickly and much more securely than inserting a separate 

 piece in a single section, (3) the foundation can first be 

 worked out into comb, 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 with- 

 out 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 possibiHty of either falling out, during 

 manipulation. 



My three-side-cut sections 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.
