Plate 41.
The foot rests are made 1" × 3-1/2" × 5" and shaped, as indicated on the drawing.
They are secured to the uprights with screws and 1/4" × 3" round-head stove bolts. Several holes at various eighths could be bored to allow of adjusting the foot rest to suit the user of the stilt.
The uprights can be painted red and the foot rests green, or the whole can be left plain, according to the desires of the maker. A touch of paint, however, not only adds to the appearance of any article, but also preserves it and lengthens its life.
(Type B Stilt.)
Type B stilt ([Plate 41]) is made shorter than Type A and is to be strapped to the leg just above the knee.
The uprights are 1" × 1-3/8" × 36", or longer if desired.
