  The other actually clever improver was these 2 pieces which slide into set together with tin survive used to preclude vertical racking when clamping a minor depth such equally the shoulders of these dovetails. They run yesteryear dropping inwards the other side of the box which is the same thickness enabling the vice to clamp without a hint of racking.
