riddle templates

Maker
Murphy, James of Falkirk Ltd. (incorporating Wm. Dempster & Co.)
Description
Set of 28 soft hardboard (card) discs with a pencilled grid pattern on the upper surface. The grids are of varying size. These were attached to a thick circular wooden block (2005-14-5) and provided the template or guide for the women to use when wiring the riddle.
There is also one wooden disc with an oblong peforation in the centre. This is presumably an older, better made version.
