AMERICAN SQUAB CULTURE 



The 12 inch wide upright partitions are made exactly the 

 same as the 18 inch wide partitions except cleats 12 inches long 

 are used instead of cleats 18 inches long. 



If % inch square cleats are used the form or pattern table 

 must be made with % inch cleats instead of inch square cleats. 



How to Fasten Up Eggleston Double Nests 



To fasten up the Eggleston Double Nests, nail a 2x4 horizon- 

 tally, about 18 inches from the floor on to a blank wall against 

 which the nests are to be placed. Then 45 inches above the 2x4 

 nail another one horizontally, the 4 inch side to the wall in both 

 cases. 



It is presumed that one end of the row of nests will start from 

 an end wall in which case, nail the first 18 inch wide upright

NEST BOTTOM 



nest partition, cleated on one side only against the end wall 

 with the back edge between the 2x4's above mentioned. 



Then nail a 12 inch upright nest partition between the 2x4's, 

 11^4 inch away from the end — then an 18 inch partition and a 

 12 inch alternately, 11% inch apart, until you get the entire nest 

 unit up. 



To fasten these upright partitions in place, nail through the 

 end cleat at the bottom of each partition into the lower horizon- 

 tal 2x4 and toe-nail through the upper 2x4 into the top cleats of 

 the partitions. 



To determine the exact distance the nest partitions should be 

 apart, first mark off the spaces 11% inches wide on the top of 

 the lower horizontal 2x4 which allows 11 inches for the nest 

 bottom, 1/2 inch for the thickness of each partition and % inch
