82 under the strands of its respective aperture although the chips are typically manufactured with the tabs bent in the direction of the concavity as shown in fig3 there are occasions in which it may be desirable for the person installing the tabs to reconfigure the tabs of a given chip at the time he is about to install the chip in a fence or other mesh such an occasion is exemplified by the instance in which a mosaic or particular type of sign is being constructed and it is desirable to have two or more contiguous chips in a line on the same side of the mesh although it is possible to force chips of the same tab configuration into adjacent positions along the same line when a chip on one side of a given strand is to share that strand with the adjacent chip i may prefer to instruct the person endeavoring to place a chip end to end with another chip on the same side of the fence to bend the tabs of one chip such as the chip 70 such that its tabs 71 and 72 are above rather than below the strands of wire supporting it thus placing its tab 71 out of possible collision with the near tab of chip 50 this of course dictates that.
