This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 Excerpt: ...on the further side of the second piece. Now place the piece of plain 2-in x 4-in. stuff between the two pieces with the ends even and with the straight upper edges flat on the bench and the plain piece edge on between the other pieces as shown in Fig. 4, and with a pencil mark at each edge where the holes are and draw a line across the plain piece. Saw in. into the timber on these lines and split out the wood between the lines, to leave a -in. deep groove across the 4-in. side of the plain piece. Place the two angular pieces with the outer edges 18 in. apart and to them firmly screw or nail pieces of the 1-in. board as shown in Fig. 5. In the centre, with each edge 5 in. from the inner edges of the side pieces, fasten the 2-in. x 4-in. piece with the groove down. Now drive the J-in. piece of iron rod through the holes in the side pieces and leave enough projecting at each end to allow the wheels to slip over and allow a space for a washer and pin on the outer ends (Fig. 6). The holes for the pins may be drilled with a twist-drill in your breast-drill or any blacksmith will do the job for a few cents. The axle and rollers may be bought at any dealer in builders' hardware or may be picked up at some junk shop for a few cents. If you cannot get iron rollers you can use wheels of hard wood or even wooden sheaves from old pulley-blocks. Slip a washer over the axle, then slip on a wheel, place another washer over this and slip a pin (a cotter-pin is the best) through the hole as in Fig. 6. Then fasten the axle securely to the centre piece with staples, A. Now set the truck S on a level surface resting on the wheels and place blocks or bits of wood under the slanting ends until the top is level and measure the distance from A to B on the centre piece...
