holding galleys are furnished in several varieties, one of
which is illustrated in Fig. 31, etc. These are temporary rests for
galleys, while the matter on them is waiting for return of proofs, for
making up, etc. They are fastened to a wall or strong frame in some
out-of-the-way place, or they may be fitted on special standards near
the type cases or the make-up table. The galley cabinet, similar to that
illustrated in Fig. 32, is a more expensive article of furniture for
this purpose, but it is usually more satisfactory.

_Wood Runs and Steel Runs_

Early wooden case racks were fitted with strips of thin wood upon which
the cases were moved in and out. These slender strips were not always of
perfect grain and were difficult to attach firmly to the side frame.
They warped and split easily, and the nails and screws with which they
were fastened would work loose. In order to have them strong they had to
be thick, and this thickness gave a wide space between the cases so that
fewer cases could be kept in a given space.

To avoid these disadvantages case runs are now made of flat strips of
steel fastened to the side frames of the rack or cabinet. In some
cabinets they are fitted between side slats of wood, and a couple of
perpendicular iron rods are run through holes in the slats and the steel
strips from top to bottom of the rack, binding the pieces together and
to the side frame, making a particularly substantial rack. Another style
of steel run is made of a wider strip of iron bent the entire length
into a right-angle shape. Screw holes on one side of this angle strip
enable it to be fastened to the side frame, the other angle of the
strip being used to support the case.

_Extension Fronts and Backs_

In all composing-rooms there are many cases at which it is necessary to
work for only a few moments at a time, to set a single line, or to make
a correction, etc. In order that cases kept in racks or cabinets may be
used quickly it is necessary that each one may be pulled out clear of
the case above, so that all the boxes at the rear are accessible. In the
old-style racks this was attained by having the runs several inches
longer than the width of the case, and placing an upright strip or stop
at the rear to allow the cases to be pushed back far enough to leave
three or more inches of the run ex
