Four small pieces of quadrant are attached to set the position of the hinged back board. The back board is lined with black fabric to protect the paper and is stamped "The Jaynay Non slipping patent frame". There is a further stamp thought to be the retailers but it has been badly rubbed by the action of the springs it reads "??tmans Bristol". Each part of the backing board is secured for use by large bent brass springs screwed one end and closing into a large staple the other.
