Of diamond-shaped holes should be cut
along the center Of the strip. The
strip Is then glued on and wrapped
with Irvine until the glue has set The
winding will project slightly over the
edge Of the tubing. so the cover strip
should be made slightly wider than
the tube. After the cover Is glued
on and set, remove the Irvine and
smooth the joint In the cover with
sandpaper. The coll should then be
dipped In white sheliac Of the best
grade. or better still. celluloid varnish,
which can be made from the following

Benzine .................. pint
Wood alcohol ..................k pint
Castor oil (by weighD. ounce
Soluble cotton ................z ounces
Add chemicals in order given, solu-
BILE cotton being last. Allow to stand
II hours and strain through cheese
cloth.
After the coll has been dipped and
Is dry, the varnish should be scraped
from the contacts and they should al
ways be kept clean and bright 1t Is
a good idea to mark each coll with
the number Of turns before varnish-
ing.
The Coll Mounting.
The mounting for these coils. some
times called the mechanical coupler.
Is quite simple, as will be seen from
the drawing. One coll Is mounted sta
tionary while the other Is movable
for the coupling. The round blocks
should be turned same size as the
block used In winding. The con-
facts are thin spring brass. A slot
Is cut In the side Of the block and the
contact fastened with small screw
and bent back over the screw after the
lead wire has been soldered. 1t should
be quite springy and project slightly
from the block, which will insure good
contact when the coil Is slipped In
place. BY making the contacts an
inch or more long, they will always be
In contact with the coll. even II 1t be
turned one way or the other In plac-
Ing It on the block.
The dimensions of the arms need
not be exactly as given, but should
be long enough to allow the larger
coils to be used. An ordinary brass
hinge Is used on the movable arm;
BRASS screws should be used In all
places, as Iron screws would have
some effect on the working Of the coils.
Instead of using a base. the arms
AN be mounted directly on top OF
.abinet, and the knob allowed to pro-
ect over the panel, which makes
convenient position for operating. II
t Is desired to use three coils Instead
# two, 1t Is only necessary to add I
mother movable arm. The stationary I
oil should be left in the center. Flex-
BILE leads must be used on the nova {
lie coils and these should be soldered {
o the contacts. The knob for ADJUST
hg the coupling Is not absolutely s
ecessary. except In certin hook-ups
there the hands of the operator have t
capacity effect. y

In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because 1t
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements

As Nujol Is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, it cannot grippe and, like pure
water, 1t Is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol Is used in leading hospitals.
