These sleeves are graded from 34 to 42. Place the top sleeve of the 34 pattern on the top sleeve of the 42, the sleeves to lay even at O A, so that the front notch will come together on both sleeves. Mark the small pattern on the large one. Draw lines connecting E E, C C, B B and A A. Put in other lines as at F F, G G, and H H, so as to ensure perfect uniformity of the patterns. Divide all connecting lines into eight equal portions and number them according to sizes.
