177). They are cut 1-16 in. narrower than the sections are high. 
A side and an end are nailed together in the form of a letter L. 
When two of these L shaped sections are placed together, they

from the corner to each end. They have a small flange, bent 
outward on each end, EK, and a double fold bent inward on each 
side, which forms sockets § inch wide in which the end of the 
boards slide in and out, thus expanding orcontracting the case in 
length and width. 
“The folded side edges of the tin slide in saw grooves cut in 
the edges of the boards, are shown in the small figures, and the 
case isheld rigid, whether open or closed. A small nail is driven 
through each of the slots I, into the wood, to prevent the case 
from opening farther than about 3 inch larger each way than 
when closed. 
“The case when closed is a little smaller than the tier of sec-
