The inconvenience of using a number of clothesline posts and the limited space available resulted in the making of a clothesline post as shown in the sketch. The entire line is supported on two posts, which should be about (i in. square and are set in concrete. The upper ends of the posts are equipped with two arms, hinged to the sides of the posts in such a manner that the inside ends of the arms will meet on top of the post when they are in a horizontal position. Each arm is provided with three wood pins, equally spaced for the line. The arms are supported in a horizontal position by two bars of metal at the center, as shown

Ill: A Post That Provides a Way to Hold Six Lines Taut without the Use of Props

Holes are bored into the sides of the posts to receive the pins when the arms are at rest.

A small box is fastened to one post, to provide a place for the clothesline and the clothespins. The line, when put up, gives space for an entire washing without the use of a prop, as the line can be drawn taut enough to hold the garments. - Contributed by Olaf Tronnes, Evanston, III.
