SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 27,342, dated July 13, 1897. Application filed June 15, 1897. Serial No. 640,929. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern:     Be it known that I, JAMES G. PENNYCUICK, citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Toronto, in the county of York and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented and produced a certain new and useful Design for Prism-Plates, of which the following is a description.     My invention relates to designs for prism-plates.     It is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein--     Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved design. Fig. 2 is a section therethrough.     Like parts are indicated by the same letter in both the figures.     A is a body of glass; B B, a series of prisms thereon. The body of glass has a substantially

plain or smooth surface on one side, with a series of prisms on the other side. The body of glass is triangular approximately in the shape of a right-angle triangle, and the prisms are arranged substantially vertical to the hypotenuse.     I have shown certain angles, arrangements, and numbers of the prisms; but the essential feature of my invention is a triangular body of glass with one practically smooth side and one prism side, the prisms arranged vertically to the hypotenuse.     I claim--     The design for a prism-plate substantially as shown and described. JAMES G. PENNYCUICK. Witnesses:     LOUIE HARDING,     F. N. BARRETT.
