made in size & number according to the size of link required, and may be metal
cased by driving what is known as a chair nail into each, the said nail being made
with fixed pin reversed or the shank with a hole to recieve a loose pin as
Figs. 6 & 7.
Balls of any substance, or material are driven by a club until the required
number of holes are obtained. The aforesaid plate inay be used to lay upon a
table, or be made to form a table top and be made to reverse so that the golf side
is hidden.
A metal fitment is fitted through the plate, having a thread or screw receiver;
