Abstract: A method for making shade relief maps with the value of the shade thereon proportional to the degree of actual ground slope, to provide, thereby, the simulation of a third dimension to two dimensional map productions. A discrete weight and configuration study of the slope in an area to be shown in shade relief is converted by mechanical means to an image production in known scale of surface undulations having shade density values proportional to the degree of slope. The shade image production is superimposed in scale registry upon an image containing features other than slope thereby providing, through the combined image, a shade relief map production having slope related shade thereon. The product of the aforesaid method comprises a map having manufactured shade provided thereon wherein the value of such shade is proportional to the degree of ground slope.

Abstract: A multiple position sewing machine cabinet to house in storage and operative positions a drophead sewing machine of the type adapted for use in multiple operative positions. Movement of the sewing machine from a horizontal, stored position within the cabinet to one or more vertically-elevated, operative positions above the cabinet is accomplished by a follower and guide mounting assembly. The machine is secured to a base plate having pairs of spaced-apart lugs extending outwardly from opposite edges thereof. A pair of spaced guide grooves receive the spaced-apart lugs and selectively guide movement of the base plate, with the machine attached thereto, through one or more operative positions and into storage position.

Abstract: A method for packaging articles of furniture using an interlay sheet having standard peripheral dimensions corresponding to the inner dimensions of a standard size corrugated shipping container. The interlay sheet has bendable tabs which, in cooperation with a restraining band, spatially secures the sheet to articles of furniture having varying peripheral dimensions, which dimensions are at least smaller than the shipping container's inner dimensions. The interlay sheet spatially positions the article of furniture within the shipping container and may include a non-abrasive layer on the article-of-furniture contacting surface thereof.
