concealed in the four large books which have 
been made into a cabinet for the purpose

small, sturdy chest of drawers on a table. The three cetiter 
drawers have been taken out to provide space for the

boxes. The drawing shows four books tall 
enough to hold a telephone, with the backs 
joined together and hinged to form a door

into the drawer
