General Qbfervations on the Management of Hip Domes
for State Beds.
Thefe kinds of domes fliould be made in four parts, for
the fake of convenience in fixing up, or for more eafy convey-
ance into the country. The center block fliould therefore be
made in four quarter parts, on account of the hip and center ribs
which are fixed into it, that the four quarters of the dome may
eaiily be feparated and put together again without injury.
Domes in four parts mult therefore have eight hip ribs, or
two at each angle, mitring together, to which the ribs of each
feparate quarter are fixed. For the footing of thefe ribs a fliam
or upper teller fhould be formed, about three inches in breadth,
which will give room beyond the ribs to fcrew it to the under
teller.
When the four quarters of the dome are thus formed by
ribs, a covering of thin deal, like Venetian fliade fluff, fliould
be provided, and after covering both infide and outfide of the
dome, the deal may be fized over with thin glue, to llrengthen
it. After the fize is dried, then good canvas may be glued or
palled on, both infide and outfide of the dome, which will add
to its llrength, and give fmoothnefs to its furface. The outfide
of the dome may then be painted, to match the furniture of die
for State Beds.
