The rack shown in the accompanying illustration has four corner posts, each 19 in. long, slightly bent at the bottom to form the feet. The posts are connected by three rails A, B, and C, back and front, each 15 3/4 in. long, and at the sides by rails D and E, each 9 in. long. There are also three cross rails running from front to back connecting the rails A. The rails E and the posts F (the latter being 13 1/2 in. long) are halved where they cross. Connecting the posts F is a rail G 15 3/4 in. long, to which the handle H, of 3/8-in. cane, is fastened. Running from the rail G are two 1-in. canes K, each about 19i in. long, pinned together where they cross, and fixed underneath the rail D. An inclined rail J runs from B to C, the lower end being 1 1/2 in. away from the corner post and the upper end being 5 1/2 in. Another rail L, 9 in. long, inclined in the opposite direction, meets the rail J about 3iin. from the top, and in the triangular opening thus formed panels are fixed. The dotted lines indicate how the cane L might be fixed if a variation in the design is desired.

In this case the rail B would terminate where it meets L. The centre of rail A is 6 1/2in., and the centre of B 9 1/2in., from the ground, and the distances between centres of D and E 3 1/4 in.
