The wax having been spread on the flat bar, the roller, heated by being put into hot water, is heavily pressed over it. The roller has two wooden handles, so that considerable pressure may be given to it. The roller is a little less than two inches in diameter, seven -eighths of an inch wide, and the length from" handle to handle is six inches. The diagram shows the full size of the impressions as left on the wax, after passing the roller along the comb- bar, in the manner above described. It i...s a con- trivance invented in Switzerland, and exhibited in the International Exhibition of 1862, when the pattern roller was purchased by oiirselves. IMPRESSED WAX SHEETS. 151 The bars of a hive prepared with these markings in -wax afford ready-made foundations for regular combs, which very much facilitate the operations of the bees. IMPRESSED WAX SHEETS FOR ARTIFICIAL COMBS. These artificial partition walls for combs are sheets of genuine wax, about the substance of thin cardboard. They receive rhomboidal impressions by being pressed between two metal plates, carefully and mathematically prepared and cast so that the impressions are exactly the same size as the base of the cells of a honey-comb.
