Abstract: This method of manufacturing laminated skis by the so-called wet process consists in incorporating at least one metal blade or a sheet of high-strength fibres among the strata, the width of the blade or sheet being inferior to that of the ski, and the width of its ends decreases gradually to a point in the transitional area between the heel and body and also in the transitional area between the body and the tip of the ski.
Abstract: In a fishing reel, axial displacement of a shaft to modify a drag adjustment is provided by angularly displacing a control member having an integral actuating lever to axially displace an angularly fixed member having a profile cooperating with the control member. Both said control member and the member of complementary profile are secured to the shaft end by a single removable screw member, which is axially but not angularly fixed to the member of complementary profile to enable removal and replacement of the three members as a unit.
