holding the candle, and which socket, by turning the axis Figure 6, opens or
shuts agreeable to the size of the candle, and in each of such half-sockets are
two half-holes, E and F, which form one hole when the two half-sockets are
-close-together-and-admit-the-lifter-Figure-9.-
Figure 9 is a lifter which passes through the box Figure 7 (as appears by
Figure 10) for the purpose of raising the candle when burnt down to the
socket, and the candle is so raised by means of a small finger-piece G.
Figure 11 is such finger-piece detached from the cylindrical part of the lifter

nozle or milled head or nut, the pillar or tube thereof having a groove H and
H, from end to end, for the purpose of raising and falling the box, Figure 7,
with its apparatus. I is the foot of the candlestick, to which the pillar or
tube B and B is attached, and through which foot such pillar. or tube
passes (as appears in the inverted Figure 16), for the convenience of holding
the nozle, Figure 5, when taken from the top of the candlestick, and in which
foot is an opening K to receive the finger-picce 11 when the box, Figure 7, is
at its lowest extremity.
Figure 13 is the glass to fix on the top of the candlestick, for the purpose of
preserving the candle and its light when the current of air is too great.
Figure 14 is a spring fixed to the box, Figure 7, as appears by Figure 15

the lifter, Figure 9, for the same purpose; and N and N are two holes, having
the like holes on the opposite side of Figure 15 for the reception of two pins,"
