Caption 1: The final operation is to hang a cup on a nail below the gutters to catch the gum exuding from the freshly cut streak which is the beginning of a regular face. If clay cups are used they are tilted to an angle of approximately 30 degrees during the winter so that ice will not crack the bottom of the cup.
