This _Wooden-Handle_ with long Working grows oft loose; but then it is with hard blows on the end of it forced on again, which oft splits the _Wooden-Handle_ and loosens the square Pin at the other end of the _Bar_, in the _Eye_ of the _Spindle_: To remedy which inconvenience, I used this Help, _viz._ To weld a piece of a Curtain-Rod as long as the _Wooden-Handle_ of the _Bar_, to the end of the Iron _Bar_, and made a Male-screw at the other end with a Female-screw to fit it; Then I bored an hole quite through the _Wooden-Handle_, and Turn’d the very end of the _Wooden-Handle_ with a small hollow in it flat at the bottom, and deep enough to bury the Iron-_Nut_ on the end of the Curtain-Rod, and when this Curtain-Rod was put through the Hollow in the _Wooden-Handle_ and Screwed fast to it at the end, it kept the _Wooden-Handle_, from flying off; Or if it loosened, by twisting the _Nut_ once or twice more about, it was fastned again. ¶. 14. _Of the_ Hose, Garter, _and_ Hose-Hooks. The _Hose_ are the upright Irons in Plate 8. at _a a_, They are about three quarters of an Inch square, both their ends have Male-screws on them; The lower end is fitted into a square Hole made at the parting of the _Hose-Hooks_, which by a square _Nut_ with a Female-screw in it, is Screwed tight up to them; Their upper ends are let into square Holes made at the ends of the _Garter_, and by _Nuts_ with Female-Screws in them, and Ears to turn them about as at _l l_ are drawn up higher, if the _Plattin-Cords_ are too loose; or else let down lower if they are too tight: These upper Screws are called the _Hose-Screws_. The _Garter_ (but more properly the _Coller_) marked _b b_, is the round Hoop incompassing the flat Groove or Neck in the Shank of the _Spindle_ at _e e_; This round Hoop is made of two half-round Hoops, having in a Diametrical-line without the Hoop square Irons of the same piece proceeding from them, and standing out as far as _g g_, These Irons are so let into each other, that they comply and run Range with the square Sholders at both ends, wherein square Holes are made at the ends of the _Hose_. They are Screwed together with two small Screws, as at _h h_. The four _Hose-Hooks_ are marked _i i i i_, They proceed from two Branches of an Iron Hoop at _k_ encompassing the lower end of the _Spindle_, on either Corner of the Branch, and have notches filled in their outer-sides as in the Figure, which notches are to contain several Turns of _Whip-cord_ in each notch, which _Whip-cord_ being also fastned to the _Hooks_ on the _Plattin_, holds the _Plattin_ tight to the _Hooks_ of the _Hose_. ¶. 15. _Of the_ Ribs, _and_ Cramp-Irons.
