The illustrations show a simple frame tor a, landing net as used by anglers. The two side pieces A A are made of No. T B.W.G. steel wire, the outer ends being turned to form an eye. The ends that tit on the stick are bent at right angles for 1/2 in., as shewn at l;. One of these should be longer than the other, as they would weaken the stick if they came opposite. A hole C is bored on each side to take the turned ends of the wires, and the stick is grooved so that each wire will lit in flush. A cord is stretched across between the two eyes, and this completes a D-shaped bow on which the net is threaded. To hold the frame on the stick, a loose ferrule l> is slipped up. or a lashing may be used instead if preferred. To take the net to pieces, the ferrule is slipped back to the position shown at E, when the wires may be removed and the net rolled round them. The stick may be made of greenheart or hickory.
