it to be far more convenient and quicker to use one 
board only with my arrangement. Suppose, for the 
sake of illustration, that the best size is 3in. by qin. 
If the first strip be lin. wide, and the next strip as 
much wider than the first as the difference between 
the width and depth of the pieces, then the upper 
edges of the strips being fixed 3in. apart — t.e., the 
depth of the required pieces — their lower edges will be 
4in. from each other — i.e., the width of the pieces. 
Reference to B, Fig. io 6 , and the figures marked upon 
it, will make this evident. The third strip will be 3in.

wide, when the cut at its lower edge will again give 
the 3in. interval, after which the series starts as at first. 
The sheet, or two or three sheets of foundation, are 
placed on the table. The board is placed over it, or 
them, and 3in. strips immediately cut. Turning the 
board half round makes the previously horizontal strips 
perpendicular, when cuts, still made by the right hand, 
from the other edge of the strips, will divide into pieces 
qin. wide. These are then gathered up, and kept in 
correct position one over the other, lest any foun-
