While the wood liners were described in Part II, they

were not shown, so a drawing of them is in Fig. 9.
Also, while the installation of the rail sides and panels
was described in Part II, these operations were not
shown, they are in this part. In Fig. 1 is shown a
simple method of properly positioning the rail sides;
they are clamped loosely to the reinforcing strips of
the table top, then accurately located by using a block
of wood of the thickness of the rail tops. The notched
blind panels are next installed, being positioned with
their upper edges flush with the upper edges of the rail
sides, as in Fig. 2. Note also in Fig 2 that the notch
is not too neat or exact. It is covered with a panel of
1f4-in. hardwood-plywood as in Figs. 3 and 9. Th e rail
top, when installed, hides the notch completely. The
rail tops are mitered and fitted in place, then radiused

Why the need for auxiliary heat?
In this basement-perhaps in yours
-the recreation room is on the side
of the basement away from the hot-
air duct; the duct showing is for
cold air. On the other side of the
wall the rooms stay fairly com-
fortable just from the radiation of
heat from the duct. In the office an
opening was cut in the duct, and
a closeable vent was installed.
When the office is not used, the
vent is closed to assure a proper
supply of warmth to the upstairs.
If you cut a number of openings
in the hot-air duct to heat the base-
ment, chances are that many will
not be closed when the basement
is not being used. This will throw
