    SEPARATING SAW AND HOLDER Pattern furnished bv Dr. Gordon White making of separations between the teeth preparatory BM/M to the use of disk or strip. In this preparatory work I it facilitates the most delicate manipulation and is without liability to cut the lips or soft parts. The Saw is unique in form, having one straight and one curved (convex) edge. The shank has two perforations for the reception of pins in the Holder. The Holder is a split chuck, with stem threaded to fit our Cone-socket Handles. The inside of one jaw of the chuck is armed with two studs or pins fitting the per- forations in the Saw shank. The Saw shank is slipped into the chuck with the perforations over the pins, and the Cone- socket Handle is screwed on, closing the jaws and locking the Saw immovably in the Holder. So assembled we have a Separating Saw which is extremely con- venient, because the relative shortness of the blade as compared with the handle gives perfect control of its movement. Cone-socket Handles Nos. 3, 5, 8, and 10 A are best adapted for carrying this Separating Saw. Price, complete $0.75 Saws each .25 Holders .35 Cone-socket Handles (No. 3) 15 RIBBON SAWS For separating natural teeth and for cutting apart approximal fillings, when the circumstances make it easier to bridge over from one tooth to the other during the operation, with the idea of separating them when the operation is completed.
