All the large and medium size stands are supplied in solid mahogany 
upright cases. This form is admittedly much the more convenient and certainly 
deserves preference to the flat cases, as it allows of the instrument being taken 
out and replaced without risk of any of its fittings being thereby deranged. The 
size is reduced as much as possible for the sake of compactness, but sufficient 
room is provided for the instrument with its objectives (and nose-piece) and eye- 
piece in situ and for an ample assortment of objectives, eye-pieces and usual 
accessory apparatus. 
Stands VI, VII and IX are supplied, as in former years, in flat mahogany 
cases. 
The cases are furnished with the following appendages: 
Metal name plates, including engraving, to screw on the door, M. 5.—. 
Leather travelling cases according to size M. 18. — to 30. — . 
The ordinary cases are included in the price of the stand. Cases of parti- 
cular design, walnut, ebony etc., are supplied at proportionate extra charges.
