8. Pattern for body:
1. Over-all dimensions
2. Allowance for lock
3. Locating rivet holes for slats
4. Locating rivet holes for upper hoop

Dimensions of Barrel.—The dimensions of the barrel would vary according to whether the job was standard, or special size. Different manufacturers have established their own standards. The sizes given below are common to all, and are best adapted to ordinary needs. A barrel 18 in. in diameter by 26 in. high will be treated in this discussion.
