Fig. 1 shows a wall rack for use with a gas stove or oven in drying clothes. The rack has a base 2ft. 6in. by Sin. by lin., with five rods 3ft. by lin. by fin. These are mortised in, and glued and wedged. Fig. 2 shows a method of cutting out the rods with economy. As this contrivance may have to support considerable weight, it will be necessary to plug the wall from which it is suspended. Therefore mark off on the wall over the gas stove the positions of the screws, cut the paper in the form of the letter H, and gently raise the two flaps. With a cold chisel, chop out two holes of a rectangular shape about 1 1/2 in. by 1 in., and fit in each hole two taper plugs with the broad ends inside j then, after glueing the centre wedge, drive it in, and when set, cut it off flush to the wall. The paper may now be pasted back in place and the screws inserted, as in Fig. 3. Cut the holes and slots in the base as in Fig. 4, and place the base, etc., in position; the appliance will be perfectly secure but easily removed when not wanted for use. Whenever the gas is lit, the surplus heat ascends and is utilised.
