A cement 23 is then placed in the socket 19 and the exposed end of the metallic reinforcement forced into the cement until the lower end of the cross rests upon the base 20. When the cement burdens. the concrete cross is firmly held by the base. just as though it was integral therewith.

In some instances, the inlays 6 can be made of a fiat bar 24, as illustrated in .Figa
