be made to taper from shoulder to end, or end to shoulder, parallel, Ú
or other shapes as desired & may be hollow with slit or slits, or if oblong
in section may have a slit lengthway. In all cases the shank is so arranged as to
allow for contraction & expansion, so forming a spring shank which may be forced
into an hole smaller or narrower than its own size, so causing contraction, the
corresponding expansion presure preventing the stud cog or toe-piece falling out or
becoming detached from the hole, except by the use of suitable tools for its extraction,
The cog, stud, or toe-piece may be shouldered or plain; the head may be solid,
hollow, V or other desired shape, & be pointed, parallel, or otherwise. The holes
or slots in shoe may be round square ✓ shape or otherwise as required to fit the
