This little leg should be soldered in such a manner that when the ring lies flat the leg is standing up, while the flange lies parallel with the ring. This clamp, when applied, must be heated and the flange pressed into the impression material.

These drill holes he then fills with a round piece of celluloid, letting it extend somewhat upon the labial surface of the teeth.
