On kites where the string passes around the entire frame, [Fig. 8], it is best to fasten at the end of one stick only, as at a, then pass in the notches of the ends of the other sticks at b, c, d, and tie again at a. We must assume that the horizontal stick in [Fig. 8] has been measured accurately for center as that is a part of the framing process. The sticks can be notched with a knife, [Fig. 9], or a saw-cut can be made in the end, [Fig. 10]. The latter is less liable to split out, but the first is more convenient, for every boy is likely to have a knife or can borrow one.
