 plane, surrounds the handle over 8 cm. of its length and then passes with a 4 cm. broad plaited 

 work over the outer surface and edge to the inside end of the handle; the second, to prevent its 

 shaking in the horizontal plane, stretches from a horizontal hole made transversely in the handle 

 10 cm. outside the shell, a fiât plaited work in the direction of two small holes bored near the edge
