Fig. III. illustrates the top view of the griffe. As mentioned before,
the griffe is fastened to the plunger by means of screws. In the
drawing the dark shaded places marked _f_ are the hollow places in the
griffe, through which the screws fasten the latter to the plunger. The
griffe, like the other parts explained, is made of cast iron, and the
machine is of the following dimensions:
Length of griffe, _a_ to _b_, = 9-3/4 inches.
Depth " " _a_ to _c_, = 6-5/8 "
Extension on each side, _e_ to _f_, = 1-1/2 "
Distance of griffe-bars, _s_ to _s_, = 7/8 "
Length " " _m_ to _n_, = 9-1/4 "
Height " " [see Fig. IV.,
sectional cut of griffe-bars,] = 7/8 inch.
