pool guide plate 101 and funneled holes 113 function to guide the tool support the bottom of the tool to take the reaction load of breaking a rod free and reduce the close area at the top of the holder to give a greater downward water flow velocity to prevent crud from swirling upward and out into the pool also shown in fig4 is a modified guide plate 101 having a different indexing arrangement guide plate 101 has a top portion 103 having upper and lower surfaces offset depending sides 104 and 106 only two of which are shown depend from the lower surface of top portion 103 the depending sides 104 and 106 form a shoulder 107 with the lower surface of portion 103 each of depending sides 104 has a pair of spaced slots 108 and 109 and each of depending sides 106 has a pair of spaced slots 111 and 112 the slots are so dimensioned that the walls of holder 49 can fit snugly therein and are so spaced that when for example a wall of holder 49 is in slot 109 slot 108 is offset from the other wall so that shoulder 107 rests on top of the remaining walls when a wall of holder 49 is in slot 108 slot 109 is offset the same is true of slots 111 and 112 so that guide plate 101 can be indexed to four discrete positions on top of holder 49 after the rods have been removed from the rod assemblies and placed in the canister in holder 53 the skeleton remaining in holder 49 is converted to scrap by means of long reach.
