The Making of a Man: Being a Description of Artificial Limbs and How They May Be Adopted by Those Who Have Suffered Loss of Their Natural Limbs
_Sixth._ The cords or tendons come in contact with no surfaces
to cause friction or wear and are adjustable so as to give any
desired mobility to the ankle joint.
_Seventh._ Knee joints, for amputation below the knee, with
four bearings, taper phosphor bronze bushings, and taper bolts,
giving the greatest degree of wearing surface and requiring the
least possible lubrication.
_Eighth._ The purchaser has the choice of a wood socket,
leather lacing socket, or the NEVERCHAFE spring socket, which
ever is best adapted and most suitable for the peculiarities of
his case, and for amputation below the knee an extra attachment
is included for use in place of the knee joint and thigh lacer,
at such times as it may suit the wearer to try it.
The best product in this line, if within the means of the purchaser,
should be the one chosen; but while the WALKEASY leg possesses so many
eminent features it is not more costly than the average product of other
manufacturers. Moreover, our guarantee is that if it fails in realizing
to the wearer what is promised to him, we are more than willing to secure
the point of perfection without extra charge, and make of it for the
wearer his ideal and not ours.
