Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
666
From
the
back
of
the
iron
girdle,
in
the
centre,
proceeds
a
crutch
e,
also
of
iron,
passing
between
the
legs,
and
connected
by
a
strap
to
the
front
of
the
girdle.
A
fourth
strap
f,
connected
with
the
girdle
in
front
and
rear,
passes
over
the
left
shoulder,
and
prevents
any
risk
of
the
apparatus
slipping
downwards.
To
the
upper
part
of
the
upright,
b
b,
immediately
below
the
armpit,
is
riveted
a
short
flat
piece
of
iron,
g,
working
freely
upon
it.
The
end
of
g,
which
forms
the
joint
shown
enlarged
in
Fig.
316,
is
welded
into
a
semicircular
ratchet,
with
three
teeth
corresponding
with
a
check
h,
lying
parallel
with
b
b,
and
which,
in
its
normal
position,
is
pressed
up
close
into
the
teeth
of
the
ratchet
by
a
spring,
but
may
be
withdrawn
by
a
downward
pressure
on
the
hook
i.
The
opposite
end
of
g
has
projecting
from
its
under
side,
at
right
angles,
an
iron
plug
j,
which
just
fits
into
the
cavity
before
mentioned
in
the
top
of
the
rod
A.
There
is
an
opening
in
the
under
part
of
the
sleeve,
to
give
passage
to
this
plug,
which,
when
inserted
in
the
corresponding
cavity
of
A,
makes
g,
relatively
to
it,
a
fixture.
The
remainder
of
the
iron
framework
(and
with
it
the
lady)
remains
moveable,
to
the
extent
that,
by
means
of
the
joint
at
g,
it
can
be
made
to
describe
an
arc
of
90°
to
the
upright
rod.
