Increase the first figure by one; subtract the third figure from the second, borrowing one- from- the first increased figure, if necessary, and extend the compasses from the division upon the vernier -scale, indicated by the third figure, to the subdivision indicated by the number remaining after performing the above subtraction.
Σελίδα 38 - MOUNTING PAPER AND DRAWINGS, VARNISHING, ETC. In mounting paper upon canvas, the latter should be well stretched upon a smooth flat surface, being damped for that purpose, and its edges glued down as was recommended in stretching drawing paper. Then with a brush spread strong paste upon the canvas, beating it in till the grain of the canvas be all filled up; for this, when dry, will prevent the canvas from shrinking when subsequently removed ; and, having cut the edges of the paper straight, paste...
