Book 2 — A Milk-Bottle Carrier

Reading edition

Carrying a milk bottle by the rim is tiresome work for the fingers, so I constructed a handle, as shown in the sketch, from a piece of wire. The carrier can be easily placed in the pocket.

Illustration from The Boy Mechanic, Book 2: 1000 Things for Boys to Do

A Carrier Made of Wire to Quickly Attach on a Milk-Bottle Neck

The part fitting under the rim of the bottle neck is bent to form two semicircles, one hooking permanently at A, while the other is hooked at B after it is sprung around the neck of the bottle.—Contributed by Lawrence B. Robbins, Harwich, Mass.
