Not illustrated. 1866 Excerpt: ...metallic frame for lateral curvature, which may be extemporized. a a. Two uprights of hoop iron, or, better, of thin steel. bb. Base of copper, tin, or sheet iron, reaching two-thirds around the pelvis, to which the uprights are attached. cc. Two pieces of hoop iron, or of thin steel, for the side on which the shoulder is elevated, d. A thinner and narrower piece of steel, to pass under the armpit of the depressed shoulder. This is movable at the rivet attaching it to the uprights, and upon the distal end is attached an elastic strap, which passes up in front and over upon the prominent shoulder, and down to a buckle attached to the base bb, in order to make the lift under the depressed shoulder, and the weight upon the opposite elevated shoulder balance each other, e.

In Fig. 48, the apparatus is seen applied. It will be observed that it differs from the preceding plans, in mating the prominent shoulder the centre of force, and, in the erect posture, the support, also, of the weight of the apparatus.
