five, or any number of sittings in a pew or seat, in this case the fittings will be
attached to the back of pew or seat, but in all cases the principle will be the

M is a short stud, or block, having a V, or U., shaped projection at one end,
fitting into a reverse shape in the centre of the joint, the other end being flat, for
the spring n, to press on to keep it in position, but will allow it to move
downwards, when the rest or rack is raised or lowered, the said stud or block,
and spring, being enclosed in the tubes of which the aforesaid rest or rack is
composed.
The joint 0, Fig. 5, is made as at Fig. 7,8; Fig. 7, being the plan, and Fig. 8,
