The tabs (N) are designed to hold the doors in place when the case is open. To mount the doors, tip them into the cabinet, front side facing up. Fit the steel guide pins at the top end of the doors up into the grooves of the guide blocks. Lift the doors up past the tabs and then turn the tabs to lock the doors in place. Test the doors, and make adjustments if necessary so they operate smoothly. A bit of graphite on

the pins and in the tracks will serve to lubricate the guide system. Finally, insert the steel stop pins and mount the 1 in. brass knobs (Y).

The bullet catches (Z) are now added. Their purpose is to locate and fix the doors in place. Although the bullet part of the catch may be inserted in the doors when they are assembled, do not add the strike until the doors have been mounted, and the exact strike

position can be determined. Both the bullet catches and knobs are available from Mason & Sullivan, 586 Higgins Crowell Rd., West Yarmouth, Cape Cod, MA 02673. Order part no. 2517B for the knobs and part no. 2550B for the bullet catches.

The case may be finished with varnish as barrister bookcases often were, or for a more natural look, simply rub in several coats of penetrating oil. V&j
