Volume 1 / Part 6 — Rubber Tip for Chair Legs

Reading edition

Illustration from The Boy Mechanic, Volume 1: 700 Things for Boys to Do

An inexpensive method of preventing a chair from scratching the floor is to bore a hole of the proper size in the bottom end of each chair leg and then procure four rubber stoppers of uniform size and press them into place. This cushion of rubber eliminates vibrations, and they will not slip nor mar the finest surface upon which they rest.
