The Bracket.—There are six different forms of cast iron brackets represented in the adjoining figures ([Figs. 108]-[113]).
The brackets are primarily intended as the supports of the stud sockets. For this purpose each has a head 1" thick bored with a hole ⅝" diameter, and thus fitted to receive the screw on any of the studs. Each bracket stands on a base or sole with a slit full ⅝" wide for the bolts. The thickness of the sole is ⅝". The larger of the brackets I., II., and IV. have also slits in their vertical faces. Brackets can be fastened either to the stool or to the beds or rectangles, and the variety of their forms enables the wheel-work carried on the stud sockets to be disposed in any desired fashion. Brackets avail for many other purposes besides those of supporting rotating mechanism. ([Look at Figs. 11], [12], [17], [20], [33], [38], [39], [73] and many others.)
