I made the _Rails_ and _Stiles_ of well-seasoned fine _Oak_, clean, (that is free from Knots and Shakes) the _Stiles_ and _Rails_ two Inches and an half square, the Top and Bottom _Fore-Rails_ and the Bottom _Hind-Rail_ four Foot three Inches long, besides their _Tennants_; And the Top _Hind-Rail_ five Foot three Inches long. The two _Fore-Rails_ and Bottom _Hind-Rail_ had Iron Female-Screws let into them, which, through an hole made in the _Stiles_, received a Male-Screw with a long shank, and a Sholder at the end of it to screw them tight and firm together, even as the Rails of a _Bedsted_ are screwed into the _Mortesses_ of a _Bed-Post_. Each _Back-Stile_ was four Foot one Inch and an half high besides their _Tennants_, and each _Fore-Stile_ three Foot three Inches high, each _Fore_ and _Back-Stile_ had two _Rails_ one Foot seven Inches long, besides their _Tennants_ Tennanted and Pin’d into them, because not intended to be taken assunder. It must be considered, that the _Fore-stiles_ be of a convenient height for the pitch of an ordinary Man to stand and work at, which the heighth aforesaid is; And that the _Hind stiles_ be so much higher than the _Fore-stiles_, that when the _Cross-Bearers_ are laid upon the upper _Fore_ and _Hind-Rail_, and the _Cases_ laid on them, the _Cases_ may have a convenient declivity from the upper-side the _Upper-Case_, to the lower side the _Lower-Case_. The Reason of this declivity is, because the _Cases_ standing thus before the Workman, the farther _Boxes_ of the _Upper-Case_ are more ready and easie to come at, than if they lay flat; they being in this position somewhat nearer the hand, and the _Letters_ in those _Boxes_ somewhat easier seen. If the Workman prove taller than Ordinary, he lays another or two pair of _Cases_ under the _Cases_ he uses, to mount them: If the Workman be short, as Lads, _&c._ He lays a _Paper-board_ (or sometimes two) on the floor by the Fore-side of the _Frame_, and standing to work on it, mounts himself. The _Bearers_ are made of _Slit-Deal_, about two Inches broad, and so long as to reach from the _Fore-Rail_ through the _Upper-Rail_, and are let in, so as to lye even with the superficies of the _Fore_ and _Hind-Rail_, and at such a distance on both the _Rails_, as you may see in the Figure. [Illustration:_ Plate 2._] On the Superficies of the _Fore-Rail_, even with its Fore-Edge is nailed a small _Riglet_ about half an Inch high, and a quarter and half quarter of an Inch thick, that the _Cases_ set on the _Frame_ having the aforesaid declivity, may by it be stop’t from sliding off. §. 5. _Of the_ Galley. Our _Master-Printer_ is also to provide _Galleys_ of different sizes, That the _Compositer_ may be suited with small ones when he _Composes_ small _Pages_, and with great ones for great _Pages_. The _Galley_ is marked A in Plate 2. _a b c_ The Sides or Frame of the _Galley_. _d_ The _Slice_.
