Book Rest for Music Stand
The music-stand attachment shown in the illustration aids in the handling of music books, and is easily made. Some stands are provided with a supporting edge about 1 in. wide and will not properly carry larger music books, and the device is attached to this edge. The device is of wood, ³⁄₁₆ by 3¹⁄₄ in., and the length of the stand. On the bottom, two wood strips are fastened. They are beveled as shown in the sectional view, to wedge on the music rest.—L. R.
