Hanging Ladder for a Hatchway
A handy ladder to swing from a hatchway can be made of a solid plank, as shown. Cut the plank to the length desired and saw notches on each side to form steps. With a solid hook to fasten it in a similar hook in the ceiling, at the edge of the opening, it makes a novel yet practical ladder.—Contributed by Victor Carpenter, South Bend, Ind.
