Adjuster for Flexible Electric Wires

Can Be Taken from the Cord

The accompanying illustration shows an adjuster for changing the drop of an electric light. The main feature of this adjuster is that it can be removed from the cord at any time. The adjuster is made from a piece of wood, 3/8 in. thick, 2 in. wide and 3 in. long. A 1/4 in. hole is bored in the center near each end of the wood and a slot cut from the holes to the outside edge, as shown in Fig. 1. It is attached to the flexible cord as shown in Fig. 2.
