with a cloth tape as suggested for straw-board mounts, or the whole built up combination may be framed with picture framing but without using any glass covering. The cork composition used should be 3/8-inch thick. Maps backed with cork composition and used with glass-head pins having needle points will permit almost unlimited puncturing from frequently moved pins.

The two surfaces of each swinging leaf should be covered with corrugated straw-board and muslin, or preferably with cork composition in order to get a good surface into which to insert the pins. As adjacent leaves are likely to strike and break the glass heads of the pins, projecting bumpers should be placed on every other leaf to allow enough clearance for opposite pins when the leaves come in contact. The rubber-covered bumpers used to prevent door
