Fig. 5. Method of piling wax mold

  1. baseboard
  2. perpendicular right angle corner
  3. glass plate
  4. wax mold
  5. vent
  6. galvanized iron wire bridge
  7. gate for plaster between parts of mold.


In order to make a reconstruction of any portion of an embryo it is necessary first to transfer the outlines of that structure from the photograph to the wax plates by means of carbon paper and a glass point used as a pencil. These outlines are then cut and removed from the wax and the plates squared off along the secondary guide-lines sufficiently far outside of the proposed model not to conflict with its casting.


In order that these finished plates, which we call mold plates, may be kept in exact apposition, they are piled in a rectangular corner made of plate glass (fig. 5). While this is being done it is necessary to cut certain artificial channels as vents, so that the air will escape from the openings when the plaster is poured in.
