Chapter XIX: Front Matter (19)

Very little effort is required with this winder to wind a net to its proper height. A girl 10 years of age can wind with ease, after a man has put all his strength into winding with the old style of winder. No slipping back of Winder, this ensures that the net can be fixed at the exact height required. No catch to trap or take off finger ends. No catch to release to slacken net; simply turn back. It is quite as easy to wind net as to release. It is quite as easy to release net as to wind. Impervious to weather as all working parts are covered. Has a solid Drum to take Net Cord, enabling the hole in shaft of drum to be always opposite to hole in drum, thus enabling cord to be withdrawn without cutting. Price, Poles only, 49/0 Complete with Best Steam Tarred Net and Adjuster, 68/0

LAWN TENNIS POLES AND NETS.

These Diagonal “University” Posts have the square wooden uprights so placed as to secure the greatest amount of rigidity and to offer resistance equal to that of much stouter posts fixed in the ordinary way. The winding rachet with improved smooth taper drum is the most simple and effective yet devised, and adjustment of the height of the net may be made with the greatest exactitude and ease.

THE UNIVERSITY POST. The speciality of these Posts consists in the winding apparatus being fixed near the base, giving greater rigidity to the posts, and in their having a winding drum so constructed as to obviate kinking and breaking of the copper cord whilst tightening the net. With screws, spanner, or T-shaped pins. The Posts are extra strong, 3½ in. square, the metal parts in nickel and brass, and are fitted with the portable feet. Price, poles only, 56/0

SLAZENGER’S STADIUM (COLONIAL) POSTS.

As used at the All-England Championship Meeting, Wimbledon, and at the Queen’s Club and leading Tournaments.

The system of winding is such that the minimum amount of power is required, a gradual strain upon the net being easily obtained, while the jerky action, which has been found so often to break the net-cords, is entirely obviated (see illustration). The Base is constructed in two parts, allowing the Pole to be easily detached, and rendering the same most convenient for packing or removing at nightfall, while the feet are enamelled so as to better withstand bad weather and rough usage. Price, poles only, 62/6

ARCHERY & ROLLER SKATES.

BOWS.

TO STRING AND UNSTRING ARCHERY BOWS.

WARNING.--The flat part of the bow is the outside and should be kept nearest the body in the act of stringing, or bow will in all probability be broken.

TO STRING.--Hold the bow in the centre by either hand (whichever is more suitable to the archer), place the end on which the string is made a fixture in the hollow of the foot (not resting the bow on the ground), then pull strongly with the hand holding the centre of bow and press the string forward with the other until it reaches the nock made for it in the horn tip.

TO UNSTRING.--The same attitude to be observed as when stringing, only pulling with the one hand and pressing with the other, so as to slacken the string, which should then be slipped out of the nock by the forefinger.

When the shooting is over, the bow should be unstrung. The bow must not be left or kept in a damp situation, and when not in use should always be kept in a bag.

,, B, Screw-on Model ... ... ,, 21/0

The size of the boot should be given when ordering. A Roller Skate should have an adjustable rubber cushion, so that the trucks can be loosened or tightened at the skater’s will. Our Skate has it! Light weight is a great advantage.--The footboard and wheels, when made of aluminium-alloy, must make the skate much lighter than an all-steel skate. Ours are aluminium! All-steel skates rely on rivets for securing the clamps and trucks to the footboards, and when these rust they are, to say the least, very unreliable. Ours haven’t a single rivet in them! Strength is an asset so essential in a skate. Note the arch in ours!
