    That is, you can take one set of impres- sions for making vulcanizing models later on, by keeping them in cold storage till ready to make the models. And then you can take an- other set of impressions, and take the no^bites on them; and put them likewise in cold water till you get ready to make your models and articulate your case, weeks or months later on. Or, you can take your no=bite readily without waiting to make models, by using the impressions themselves as bitc'rims, with the Greene=Kerr Removable Handle Impression and Bite Trays —^^as I '11 soon show you. FIRM ARTICULATOR IMPORTANT. As to articulators, I will say: Tliere are some good ones and more bad ones. My objection / is to those of needless complication and bulk, / and those that are flimsy and flexible; espe- cially the latter. I find articulators very much like inlay ma- chines; some are perplexingly ingenious and others ingeniously simple. And the funny thing about it is that the good plain and complex ones give about the same result, if properly operated, from a tested no=])ite. Anyhow I can get all tlie real advantages in a simple, light but strong, plain, old=style articulator, by a little im])rovement, tliat I can make in a few minutes.

With it I can make all the movements the jaw makes in actual use. It is the pattern I find in use {minus my improvement) in nine-
