COMBINED 18 INCH BUZZ PLANER AND RABBETING- MACHINE. This is a very strong and substantial machine with box-shaped body cast in one piece and proof against straining or twisting, however uneven or unsteady the (luor on which it is placed. It is adapted to beveling, squaring, smoothing, and to planing out of wind; taking the place of a Daniels’ Planer on light work, and accomplishing twice as much in a given time. Both tables are adjustable, the front one to regulate the depth of the cut, and the back one to bring it in line with the cutting cylinder after the knives have been adjusted to any desired extension beyond the chip-breaker. These adjustments are such that the tables remain always close to the cutting cylinder, be- sides which they can be independently ad- justed to the different diameters of cutting cylinder caused by different projections ot the knives beyond the chip-breakers. By continuing the move- ment which adjusts the front table down, this table is drawn away from the cutting cylinder to give access to the knives. The machine is pro- vided with an ad- justable square and miter-gauge, a pres- sure piece with finger protector for holding stuff against gauge, and with means for adjusting work to plane slightly hollow, so that when glued the joint will be extra tight at the ends and less liable to open. Rabbets up to inch deep and 18 inches wide can be produced. To set the machine for rabbeting, place the back table level with the top of the cutting cylinder, the front table as much lower as the depth of the rabbet is to be, the gauge as far from left hand end of knives as rabbet is to be wide, and the scoring knife to project say .j.j inch beyond the cutting cylinder, and proceed as with ordi- nary planing. The machine is made with or without the rabbeting attachment, as ordered. The cutter-head pulley is 3$ inches diameter for 31 inch belt and should run about 4, 700 revolutions per minute. The counter-shaft generally has a 22 inch driving pulley for 31 inch belt, and 9 inch self-oiling tight and loose, for 4 inch belt; it should run 7">0 revolu- tions per minute.

It is especially designed for heavy work, but is capable of o doing light with equal facility. It is provided with patent adjustable saw guides, as shown and described on page 19, although not shown in the cut, patent tension spring, rubber covered wheels, and adjusting screw for in- clining the upper shaft, accessible to the operator from his position in front of the machine, and so arranged that the adjustment can be made while the wheels are in motion. The guide bar is counterbalanced in the same way as that of the No. 2 machine, although not shown to be by the above cut, and the loose pulley is self oiling. Either an iron or a wooden table is furnished, as ordered, but only the iron table machine is made with the re-sawing attachment shown in the cut. This re-sawing device, which has been greatly improved since the cut was made, has four changes of feed and can be attached or removed in five minutes. The machine is furnished either right-hand or left-hand, and either with or without the re-sawing attachment, as ordered. Weight, with re-sawing attachment, about 2,300 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 44 inches. Total height, 9 feet 9 inches. Width, 6 feet 5 inches. Depth, 5 feet. Height of sawing space, 18 inches. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 16 inches diameter for 5 inch belt ; or as ordered. Speed, 375 to 400 revolutions per minute. G BAND SAW MACHINE No. 2. This is a right-hand machine designed for general work, and for such it is confidently recommended as the best in the market. It is built in a very thorough, accurate and substantial manner, and is provided ■with patent adjustable saw guides, as shown and described on page 19, patent tension-spring, rubber-covered wheels, and adjusting-screw for inclining the upper shaft, accessible to the operator from his position in front of the machine, and so arranged that the adjustment can be made while the wheels are in motion. The guide bar is counterbalanced, and the loose pulley is self oiling. The table is of wood with an iron plate let in around the saw. The body is what is known as a box frame, and possesses great strength for its weight. Weight, about 1,600 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 40 inches. Total height, 8 feet 9 inches. Width, 6 feet. Depth, 3 feet. Height of sawing space, 15 inches. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 16 inches diameter for 4 inch belt; or as ordered. Speed, 400 revolutions per minute. 8 BEVEL BAND SAW MACHINE No. 3. This is a right-hand machine designed to avoid the instability of in- clined tables supported by segments, pivots, etc., and the difficulties encountered in holding and guiding work upon such tables. 9 The saw is inclined from 0 to 45 degrees by turning a single hand-wheel, it being unnecessary even to clamp the parts in place, as all remain locked in any position in which they are left. When a varying bevel is desired on work it can be easily produced by turning the hand-wheel while the work is being fed to the saw. This machine is provided with patent adjustable saw guides, as shown and described on page 19, patent tension spring, rubber-covered wheels, adjusting-screw for inclining the upper shaft, accessible to the operator from his position in front of the machine, and so arranged that the adjust- ment can be made while the wheels are in motion, and self oiling loose pulley, and it is a well built, substantial machine, suitable for general work as well as for bevel sawing. For the latter it will be found of great value in ship yards and for pattern making, chair-back sawing, etc. Weight, about 1,900 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 40 inches. Total height, 8 feet 6 inches. Width, 8 feet 9 inches, when set at 45 degrees. Depth, 4 feet. Height of sawing space, 1 6 inches. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 16 inches diameter for 4 inch belt; or as ordered. Speed, 400 revolutions per minute. 10 BAND SAW MACHINE No. 4. This machine is made either right-hand or left-hand. The cut shows a right-hand. Although lighter than the No. 2 , it is an excellent machine 11 for general work. It is provided with patent adjustable saw guides, as shown and described on page 19, patent tension-spring, rubber-covered wheels, and adjusting-screw for inclining the upper shaft, accessible to the operator from bis position in front of the machine, and so arranged that the adjustment can be made while the wheels are in motion. The guide bar is counterbalanced, and the loose pulley is self oiling. The table is of wood with an iron plate let in around the saw. In ordering, state whether a right or a left hand machine is wanted. Weight, about 1,000 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 38 inches. Total height, 7 feet 10 inches. Width, 0 feet. Depth, 3 feet 9 inches. Height of sawing space, 12 inches, or 17 with special guide. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 14 inches diameter for 4 inch belt; or as ordered. Speed, 400 revolutions per minute. 12 BAND SAW MACHINE No. 5. m This is a small right-hand machine, designed for light, accurate work, and for such its efficiency is guaranteed. 13 It is provided with a self oiling loose pulley, and with an iron table, unless a wooden one is ordered, and it is provided with patent adjustable saw guides, as shown and described on page 19, patent tension-spring, rubber-covered wheels, and adjusting-screw for inclining the upper shaft, so arranged that the adjustment can be made while the wheels are in motion. Weight, about 550 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 32 inches. Total height, 6 feet 10 inches. Width, 4 feet 5 inches. Depth, 3 feet. Height of sawing space, 9 inches. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 10 inches diameter for 3 inch belt; or as ordered. Speed, 400 revolutions per minute. 14 RE-SAWING BAND SAW MACHINE No. 6. This machine will saw from 10,000 to 12,000 superficial feet j:>er day of 15 ten hours, making a kerf of only / 6 of an inch, and will generally get from 1 inch stuff two pieces thick enough to make two f inch panels, after being planed on both sides. As with many re-saws this result can be obtained only by using 1^ inch stuff, it will be seen that a large saving is effected by the use of this machine, especially when costly woods are used. Of two of its valuable features the Centennial judges made special mention (see page 4), the patent flexible feed rolls, and the patent rubber spring between the elevating screw and the slide carrying the upper shaft. This maintains the tension of the saw throughout all variations of length due to changes of temperature, for which purpose it has proved to be far superior to weights. The patented improvement in the feeding arrangements consists in so constructing the feed rolls upon one side of the saw, that they will auto- matically adapt themselves to all variations in thickness, and to all irregu- larities of surface, while those on the other side are made unyielding, to act as guides to the work. There are four changes of feed, controlled by two hand levers operat- ing clutches. By a single motion any one may be thrown into or out of gear. By a hand wheel not shown in the cut, the height of the upper guide can be regulated by the operator from his position at the side of the ma- chine, and from the same position all the feed rolls can be set and the feed clutches operated. Each guide plate is adjusted with perfect accuracy by a single screw. The machine rests on an iron bed, 5 feet 10 inches long and 3 feet wide, and has been much improved since the cut was made. Weight, about 4,500 lbs. Diameter of wheels, 60 inches. Self oiling tight and loose pulleys, 22 to 30 inches diameter, as ordered, for an 8 inch belt. Speed, 375 to 400 revolutions per minute. 16 DIRECTIONS FOR JOINING BAND SAWS. Bevel each end of the saw the length of two teeth. Be sure to make a good joint. Fasten the saw in the brazing clamps with the back against the shoulder, and wet the joint with solder-water, or with a creamy mixture made by rubbing a lump of borax in about a teaspoonful of water on a slate. Put in the joint a piece of silver solder the full size thereof and clamp with tongs heated to a light red (not white) heat. As soon as the solder fuses backen the tongs with water and take them off. Remove the saw, hammer it if necessary, and file down to an even thickness, finishing by draw-filing lengthwise. DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING SOLDER-WATER. Feed muriatic acid with all the small pieces of zinc it will eat, and dilute with an equal quantity of water. SILVER-SOLDER. Extra fine quality, for soldering Band Saws, $1.00 per 12 inches. RUBBER BANDS, FOR BAND SAW WHEELS. For a 32 inch wheel, $2.00 each; 38 inch, $2.50; 40 inch, $3.00; 44 inch, $3.50. PRICE LIST — OF — FRENCH BAND SAWS.

This machine is adapted to band saws of from ^ to inches wide, and it will set a saw with perfect accuracy and uniformity in from three to ten minutes. It is compact, durable, easily adjusted, and is not liable to get out of order. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Put the saw in the vise under the top cover. By the wing nut at the bottom of the machine adjust the saw rest so as to strain the spiral springs, the points of the saw teeth will then bear against the cover, and the setting will be perfect, even though the saw he of uneven width. For a fine set, screw the top cover down. The higher it is the coarser will be the set. Raise or lower the wing nut in the open upright slot until the ratchet pawl slides over fully two teeth at each revolution of the hand wheel, then turn the thumb-screw on the ratchet pawl to move the teeth to a position opposite the dies, and set the front middle screw so that when the slide is up the saw will be held firmly, but not too tightly. The hand wheel makes from four to six revolutions per second, and two teeth are set at each revolution. Should the dies become uneven they may be adjusted by the screwdriver screws near the tops of the slides. 18 PATENT BAND SAW GUIDE. This guide is adjustable to any thickness of saw and to any width from to 1-j; inches. Two plain, inexpensive steel strips are provided for the saw to run against. These are held in place by flat springs which enable them to be easily shifted from time to time, and turned over when worn on one side. When completely worn out they can be easily and cheaply replaced. BAND SAW FILING FRAME. This can be advantageously used in combination with the Band Saw Setting Machine. When so used, the Setting Machine should be placed side of the vise. The vise is 20 inches long, is worked by three eccentrics operated by a single handle, and is as well adapted to jig as to band saws. 19 SAW ARBORS. A full line of both of the above styles kept constantly in stock. They are accurately and substantially constructed of the best materials, and in the most careful manner. The arbors are of steel, and the oil boxes are provided with hinged covers, although not shown to be by the above cuts. ADJUSTABLE SQUARE AND BEVEL GAUGE. This simple and convenient gauge for saw benches can, by operating a single screw, be readily adjusted to any angle from 45 degrees to square. It is provided with a graduated scale of inches and with an adjusting screw for making it perfectly parallel with the saw. 20 CIRCULAR SAW TABLES, Nos. 1 and 2. PATENTED. In each of these machines the saw arbor is carried in a swinging 21 frame, provided with an adjusting screw like that shown on the No. 3, on page 23, for regulating its height; and a clamp screw for holding it rigidly in any desired position. For simplicity of construction, ease of operation, and for rigidity in use this arrangement is superior to all others. As the above cut represents an arbor-frame arranged for lifting by hand, the adjusting-screw is not shown therein. The tables of all these machines, being bolted directly to the frames, are firm and rigid, and, being always level, the difficulty experienced in ripping long stuff on inclined tables is entirely obviated. Both are provided with removable throat pieces to give access to the saws, and to adapt them to the use of wabble saws or groovers. 'To rencler the machines free from vibration, and to avoid the difficul- ties and disadvantages incidental to the use of short belts ; excessive strain upon the bearings, difficulty of keeping belts at proper tension, etc., the counter-shafts are separate from the machines. In setting them the fol- lowing rule should be observed : Set the saw midway between its highest and its lowest working positions, and then place the counter shaft in a straight line with the arbor and the shaft on which the arbor-frame swings. All of the following styles and sizes are made : No. 1. Wooden table, with ripping gauge. With and without adjust- ing screw. Takes 30 inch saw. Pulley 54 inches diameter for 4 inch belt. Speed about 1,400 revolutions per minute. No. 1. Iron table, with ripping gauge, right and left-hand carriages (like those shown on the double saw on page 25) with a yoke piece for coupling the two so that they can be used as one, and with miter-fences with gauges; the miter-fences adapted to the application of wooden exten- sions for long work, and the carriages interchangeable and reversible so that the miter-fences can be used on either side of the work. With and without adjusting screw. Takes 30 inch saw. Pulley 5£ inches diameter for 4 inch belt. Speed about 1,400 revolutions per minute. No. 2. Wooden table, with ripping gauge. With and without adjust- ing screw. Takes 18 inch saw. Pulley 4 inches diameter for 4 inch belt. Speed about 2,325 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft for No. 1 generally has 20 inch driving pulley for 4 inch belt, and 12 inch self oiling tight and loose, for G inch belt. It should then run about 385 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft for No. 2 generally has 20 inch pulley for 4 inch belt, and 10 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 4 inch belt. It should then run about 4G5 revolutions per minute. 22 CIRCULAR SAW TABLE No. 3. In this machine, as in the Nos. 1 and 2, the saw arbor is carried in a swinging frame provided with - an adjusting screw for regulating its height, and a clamp screw for securing it rigidly in any desired position. This arrangement is at once simple, durable, and effective. The table is of iron, and, being bolted solidly to the frames, is very rigid. As it is always level the work is easily guided and the difficulty experienced in ripping long work on inclined tables is entirely obviated. 23 It is provided with a removable throat-piece to give access to the saw and to enable a wabble saw or groover to be used, with a ripping gauge, and with right and left cut off slides with adjustable square and miter-fences provided with length gauges, and adapted to the application of wooden extensions for long work. These cut-off slides are reversible and inter- changeable, and may therefore be used on either side of the work. To render the machine free from vibration, and to avoid the difficulties and disadvantages incidental to the use of short belts, such, for instance, as excessive strain upon the bearings and difficulty of keeping the belt at proper tension, the counter-shaft is separate from the machine. In setting it the following rule should be observed : Set the saw mid- way between its highest and its lowest working positions, and then place the counter-shaft in a straight line with the arbor and the studs on which the arbor frame swings. Takes a 14 inch saw; pulley is 3| inches diameter for 3 inch belt and should run 3,000 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft generally has an 18 inch pulley for 3 inch belt, and 9 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 3 inch belt. It should then run 583 revolu- tions per minute. 24 DOUBLE SAW TABLES Nos. 2 and 3. PATENTED. For ripping and cross-cutting. Can be changed from one to the other in ^ of a minute. Of great value in shops which have not enough work for 25 separate machines. When one saw is in use the other is below the table,, at rest. Both are carried in swinging frames provided with clamp-screws for holding them securely in any desired position. The arbor frame of the cross-cut saw is provided in addition with an adjusting screw operated by the hand wheel at the right-hand side of the machine, the whole arrange- ment being simpler, stronger, and more convenient than any other in use. These machines are also made without the adjusting screws when so ordered, in which case both arbor-frames are extended in front to form handles. The tables are of iron, and, being bolted directly to the frames, are very rigid. Being always level, the difficulty experienced in ripping long stuff on inclined tables is entirely obviated. They are provided with removable throat-pieces to give access to the saws and to adapt them to the use of wabble-saws or groovers. Both are provided with ripping gauges and with right and left-hand miter-fences adapted to the application of wooden extensions for long work and provided with length gauges. On the No. 2 the fences are on carriages, as shown m the cut, but on the No. 3 they are on slides, as shown in the cut of the single saw table No. 3 on page 23. The slides and the carriages are both interchangeable and reversible, so that they can be used on either side of the work, and they are provided with yoke pieces for coupling the two, so that they can be used as one. The driving pulleys on the counter-shaft are provided, when so ordered, with clutches operated by a foot lever at the front of the machine, not shown in cut, by which either of the saws can be put in motion, or both stopped at will. No. 2 takes an 18 inch saw. Pulley is 4 inches diameter for a 4 inch belt, and should run about 2,325 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft generally has a 20 inch pulley for a 4 inch belt, and 10 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 4 inch belt. It should then run 665 revolutions per minute. No. 3 takes a 16 inch saw. Pulley is 3^- inches diameter for a 3 inch belt, and should run about 3,000 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft generally has an 18 inch pulley for a 3 inch belt, and 9 inch self oiling tight and loose, for a 3 inch belt. It should then run 583 revolutions per minute. CIRCULAR SAW TABLE No. 4. This machine, although suitable for wood, is designed more particu- larly for metal, ivory, horn, tortoise shell, etc. The saw-arbor is carried in a swinging frame held securely at any desired height by a clamp screw. The table is set upon an iron box which catches the sawdust and holds water for the saw to run in, and which is provided at the lower part with a hand-hole for emptying and cleaning. The table is provided with an 27 adjustable gauge and with a carriage with miter-fence. A removable throat-piece gives access to the saw and provides for the use of a wabble- saw or groover. Takes a 12 inch saw. Pulley is 3 inches diameter for a 3 inch belt, and should run about 3,500 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft generally has a 16 inch pulley for 3 inch belt, and 8 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 4 inch belt. It should then run 656 revolutions per minute. SEGAR BOX CIRCULAR SAW TABLE No. 5. This machine, although especially designed for and extensively used by segar box makers, is adapted to many other varieties of work. The table, which is of wood, is provided with an adjustable gauge and with iron runners, and it slides upon the top of the main frame, also of iron. Takes a 12 inch saw. Pulley is 3 inches diameter for 34 inch belt, and it should run about 3,500 revolutions per minute. BORING- MACHINE AND SAW TABLE. This is a very convenient machine for small work, and for shops which have neither work enough nor room enough for separate machines. It is especially adapted to chair work. The frame is entirely of iron, the spindle of steel. One end of the latter carries a circular saw, the other a bit. At the sawing end is a sliding iron table with miter-fence and gauge, and adjustable to any desired height; at the boring end a sliding wooden table having a vertical adjustment of 124 inches from the spindle down, and capable of being adjusted to any angle from the horizontal up to 45 degrees. Size of saw taken, 10 inches. Size of pulley, 3 inches diameter, for 34 inch belt. Speed, 3,000 to 4,000 revolutions per minute. 28 CIRCULAR SAW TABLE No. 6. This is a very accurate machine, especially designed for fine accurate work such as piano-actions, for which it is extensively used. The arbor-frame is stationary and the table adjustable, being supported at the back by pivot screws, and at the front by two cams operated by a hand wheel and screw at the front of the machine. Thus a true adjust- ment is always obtained and the table is well supported. 29 Access to the saw is obtained by lifting the table, but a reversible throat piece provides for the use df stiffening plates on the saw, and for the use of a wabble-saw or groover. An adjustable gauge is furnished with each machine, and a carriage, of iron, when ordered. The counter-shaft is mounted on the frame of the machine or made separate, with floor standards, as ordered. This machine takes a 9 inch saw. Pulley is 2£ inches diameter for 3 inch belt, and should run about -1,600 revolutions per minute. Counter- shaft generally has a 16 inch pulley for a 3 inch belt, and 8 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 2£ inch belt. It should then run 1,020 revolutions per minute. BEVEL CIRCULAR SAW No. 7. This machine is adapted to both square and bevel sawing. The saw is so arranged that it can be adjusted to project through the table to any de- sired extent, and at any angle to the table from 0 to 45 degrees. Through- out all its adjustments it automatically retains its correct position in the slot in the table without any adjustment of the latter. It is provided with a removable throat piece and with the same ripping gauge, cut off slides, etc., as the No. 3 Circular Saw. It takes a 17 inch saw, has a 3| inch jjulley for a 3^ inch belt, and should run about 2,470 revolutions per minute. ADJUSTABLE DADO OR G-ROOVING- HEAD. This consists of two composition flanges provided with adjustable scoring knives, which need be moved, however, only to compensate for wear; and adjustable and interchangeable routing knives of any desired widths from ^ to 1^ inches, corresponding to the widths of grooves to be cut, and which can be easily and quickly changed. The work done by these heads is equal in quantity and quality to that done by those of the common construction. When set for a ^ groove they take up 1£ inches room on the arbor, and for wider grooves as much more room as the groove is wider than -fa of an inch. Parties ordering can determine from this how wide a knife it will be possible for them to use, in doing which it must be noted that the loose flange on the arbor is not to be used, but that the nut is to bear directly on the head. In ordering, state size of hole required and widths of grooves to be cut, and also whether the pulley is at the right hand or the left hand side of saw when standing in front of saw table. 31 G-ATE OR FRAME SAW MACHINES. These are made in two sizes, 64 and 84 inches swing respectively, and the frames, although light, are very strong, being braced by steel truss wires. The stroke is adjustable to either 4£ or inches, and the upper hook is provided with an adjustment by which the rake of the saw can be instantly and accurately adjusted. An automatic blower keeps the face of the work clear of sawdust, thereby preventing the hiding of lines or patterns. The whole machine is furnished complete and mounted upon a main frame ready to be set in place. The self oiling tight and loose pulleys are 8 inches diameter for a 2 inch belt, and should run from 475 to 500 revolutions per minute. 32 SWING- SAW. 33 Ill many machines of this class the swinging frames being hung directly upon the revolving shafts, cause excessive friction, resulting in loss of power and rapid destruction of the bearings. In the above machine these disadvantages are avoided by hanging the swinging frame upon the outsides of the bearings. The frame is of wood and the arbor of steel, run- ning in adjustable boxes. The guard over the saw is adjustable to the size of the latter. The counter-weight is placed upon a lever attached to the frame instead of being connected by a cord, as shown in the cut. In or- dering state length required from face of hanger-foot to centre of saw- arbor, and size of saw to be used. Made for saws up to 18 inches diameter, or more if ordered. The tight and loose pulleys are 9 inches diameter for 4 belt, and should run about 440 revolutions per minute. PRICE LIST OF Extra Cast Steel Circular Saws. PATENT MACHINE GROUND AND WARRANTED.

Note. — In ordering Circular Saws, state the thickness by Stubb’s Wire Gauge, the size of Mandrel Hole, the number of teeth in the saw or the space from point to point of teeth, whether for ripping or cross-cutting, and the Log side — right or left — when standing with saw cutting towards you; also the kinds of lumber to be cut. 34 JIG- SAW MACHINE. This is a very superior machine for all kinds of inside and outside sawing. By a peculiar arrangement of the spring fulcrums, the tension of the saw is maintained uniform throughout all parts of the stroke; and by a hand screw the springs, which are of steel, can be adjusted to any desired tension, or, when not in use, wholly relieved. The lower cross head is fitted with dog-wood faces, the end grain forming the bearings. This, by becoming saturated with oil, is rendered self lubricating and never gives the trouble incidental to the use of metal slides, which the sawdust quickly deprives of all the oil which can be put on them. Both upper and lower slides are provided with adjustable gibs, and the lower slide and its connections are contained in a recess cast in the face of the body. The reciprocating parts are thereby brought within the frame and the machine rendered very steady. The saw guide is held upon an adjustable slide which enables it to be set close to the work, the belt shifter is provided with a brake which stops the machine the moment the belt is shifted to the loose pulley, and the machine is furnished with a blower which keeps the work clear of sawdust. The table is of iron, and the loose pulley is self oiling. Tight and loose pulleys, 7 inches diameter, for 2 inch belt. Speed, from 900 to 1,100 revolutions per 'minute. 36 IMPROVED 26 AND 32 INCH PLANERS. Very powerful, geared, double feed rolls, four inches in diameter. Those in front weighted, those behind provided with self-adjusting scrapers. Three changes of feed. Can take a £ inch cut. Adjustable to different thicknesses of stuff by a single hand wheel, of an inch to a turn. Solid steel cutter-head. Two pressure bars close to cutter- 37 head, the front one hinged and weighted. Suitable for heavy as well as light and short stuff. Shaving guard and feed-roll covers hinged, to give access to knives, which can be whetted when in place. Principal bearing boxes self oiling. Heavy boxed shaped base, proof against twisting even when standing on a weak floor, which will often yield from the weight of lumber, thereby straining the bearings of machines and causing them to work hard and wear out quickly. Driving belt can come from above or from the back. When standing in front of machine cutter-head pulley is at the left hand. Fitted feed belts furnished with each machine.

These machines are very strong and compact and have solid steel cutter-heads. They are provided with feed rolls and pressure bars both in front of and behind the cutter-heads, and the tables are adjustable to the thickness of the work. In both of these machines the hand-wheels for effecting this adjustment are conveniently located, being on the 24 inch machine at the upper part of the left-hand side, and on the 12 inch machine at the front, below the table. In both cases the hand-wheels are so geared to the ele- vating screws that the table is raised or lowered just of an inch for each complete turn, scales at the sides showing at all times the thickness to which the machines are set to plane. Cone pulleys provide for two rates of feed, and belt tighteners for stopping the machines. These machines can be driven from above, below, or from the back. 39 Length of knives, Thickness that can be planed, Diameter of cutter-head, pulley, Width of belt, ...

This machine is for turning all kinds of ornamental twists, straight, curved, or tapered; right and left, with one thread or more, and of different pitches. The construction and adjustments are such that different designs can be produced with the same cutter. The work is produced directly from the square bar, no previous turning being required. The feed is automatic and is provided with automatic stop motion, and the machine is adapted to use both end and side cutters. 40 COMBINED 18 INCH BUZZ PLANER AND RABBETING MACHINE. This is a very strong and substantial machine with box- shaped body 41 cast in one piece and proof against straining or twisting, however uneven or unsteady the floor on which it is placed. It is adapted to beveling, squaring, smoothing, and to planing out of wind; taking the place of a Daniels’ Planer on light work, and accomplish- ing twice as much in a given time. Both tables are adjustable, the front one to regulate the depth of the cut, and the back one to bring it in line with the cutting cylinder after the knives have been adjusted to any desired extension beyond the chip-breaker. These adjustments are such that the tables remain always close to tbe cut- ting cylinder, besides which they can be independently adjusted to the dif- ferent diameters of cutting cylinder caused by different projections of the knives beyond the chip-breakers. By continuing the movement which ad- justs the front table down, this table is drawn away from the cutting cyl- inder to give access to the knives. The machine is provided with an adjustable square and miter-gauge, a pressure piece with finger protector for holding stuff against gauge, and with means for adjusting work to plane slightly hollow, so that when glued the joint will be extra tight at the ends and less liable to open. Kabbets up to 4 inch deep and 18 inches wide can be produced. To set the machine for rabbeting, place the back table level with the top of the cutting cylinder, the front table as much lower as the depth of the rabbet is to be, the gauge as far from left hand end of knives as rabbet is to be wide, and the scoring knife to project say inch beyond the cutting cylinder, and proceed as with ordinary planing. The machine is made with or without the x-abbeting attachment, as ordered. The cutter-head pulley is 3^- inches diameter for 34 inch belt and should run about 4,700 revolutions per minute. The counter-shaft gen- erally has a 22 inch driving pulley for 34 inch belt, and 9 inch self oiling tight and loose, for 4 inch belt, it should then run 750 revolutions per minute. Extra knives, $4.00 per pair. 42 24 INCH BUZZ OR HAND PLANER. This machine is adapted to beveling, squaring, smoothing, and to planing out of wind; taking the place of a Daniels’ Planer on light work and accomplishing as much in half the time. It is especially adapted to the preparation of joints for glueing, and by its aid, a man can prepare about eight times as much work as by hand alone, and the work so prepared will be of a quality far superior to that possible by hand. The machine is very strong and is accurately constructed. Both tables are adjustable, the front one to regulate the depth of the cut, and the back one to bring in line with the top of the cutting cylinder after the knives have been adjusted to any desired extension beyond the chip-breaker. The opening for the cutters is very small when the machine is in 43 operation, but when access to the knives is desired it can be enlarged by drawing back the rear table by means of a screw and hand-wheel provided for the purpose. The machine planes 24 inches wide and is provided with a gauge ad- justable to either square or miter work, a pressure piece with finger pro- tector for holding stuff against the gauge, and with means for adjusting the machine to plane stuff a little hollow in the direction of its length, so that when glued the joint will be extra tight at the ends and less liable to open. The pulley on cutter-head is 4 inches diameter for 4 inch belt, and should run about 4,500 revolutions per minute. The driving pulley on counter-shaft is generally 24 inches diameter for 4 inch belt, and the tight and loose 9 inches diameter for 4 inch belt; they should then run 750 revolu- tions per minute. Extra knives, $5.75 per pair. SEG-AR BOX PLANER. This machine is designed for planing segar box stuff after it has been cut to size, and it will plane from 75 to 100 pieces per minute. The stuff to be planed is piled upon a table and is forced piece by piece under a stationary knife by a reciprocating slide operated by a crank wheel and connecting rod, a single shaving being taken off of each piece as by a hand plane. 44 JOINTING- MACHINE. (SEE NEXT PAGE.) JOINTING- MACHINE. The machine shown on the preceding page is designed for the rapid production of true jointing work and is made in two sizes, one jointing up to 9 feet 6 inches long and 12 inches wide, the other up to 12 feet long and 12 inches wide. The feed has two rates of speed, an adjustable automatic stop motion and a quick return motion. The depth of the cut is ordinarily regulated by an adjustable fence at the side of the cutter-head, but when it is desired to reduce a number of pieces to a uniform width the work is guided by two removable adjust- able gauges placed opposite the cutter-head. These are not shown in the cut but they are furnished with each machine. To hold work from 1 to 6 inches thick the inclined bracket with fluted face, at the left hand end of the machine, is used in combination with the screw clamp at the right hand. The work is thus secured by operating a single screw, and a saving of time is thereby effected, but for thicker work or for a number of pieces to be joined in one operation, two screw clamps are employed. The cutter-head is provided with two roughing and two smoothing cutters. The loose pulley on the counter-shaft is self oiling, and the machine can be driven from above, below, or from the side. Weight, about 2,500. Size of cutter-head pulley, 4 inches diameter, 4 inches face. Tight and loose pulleys on counter-shaft, 10 inches diameter, for 4 inch belt; or as ordered. Speed of counter-shaft, 450 revolutions per minute. 4G TWO SPINDLE SHAPING AND MOULDING MACHINES. These machines are built in a very strong and substantial manner. The spindles are of steel, resting on steel steps in oil wells, the bearings are long and self oiling, and the bodies, being each cast in one piece, are exceedingly strong. 47 The spindle frames move in gibbei ways on the bodies and are raised and lowered by screws geared to hand-wheels conveniently located. Four sizes are made, as follows: No. of machine, 3 4 5 6 Distance between spindles, - 18 22 24 30 Diameter of spindle pulley, - 3 H 4 5 Net face of spindle pulley, 5 H 6i 6i Belt for spindle pulley, ...

The No. 6 machine is designed for very heavy work, and its spindles are provided, when so ordered, with extra, removable bracket bearings, above the cutters. The No. 5 machine is furnished only with a wooden table, all the others with either wooden or iron tables, as ordered. All wooden tables have iron rings let in around the spindles. A counter-shaft with self oiling loose and tight pulleys, an iron belt shifter and treadle, two wrenches, and two pairs of reducing rings for holes in table, accompany each machine. The No. 3 machine is furnished in addition with three sets of collars for each spindle, and the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 machines with four sets. 48 FLUTING- HEADS. FOR USE WITH MOULDING MACHINES. These heads are designed for use with any of the foregoing moulding machines in the fluting of table-legs, balusters, fine furniture work, etc. They can be mounted on wooden strips of any desired length, and held securely in any suitable position thereon by means of clamp screws provided for the purpose. The head-stock is provided with a dividing drum drilled in six circles, as follows: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 holes, and also with a spring catch ar- ranged to engage with any circle desired. The work is held between a spur centre in the head-stock and a cone centre in the tail-stock in the same manner as in a wood turning lathe. 49 SINGLE SPINDLE SHAPING- AND MOULDING- MACHINE. This is a small reverse motion machine, with circular iron table 30 inches in diameter, and circular iron body. The spindle is in the middle of table and body, and is of steel, resting on a steel step in an oil well. The bearings are long and self oiling, each cap being provided with an oil chamber filled from the top and containing a wick in contact with the spindle and extending nearly the whole length of the bearing. Each cap being adjustable by a single central screw can, with the greatest ease, be brought to a more uniform bearing than can be attained by the most skillful manipulation of any other form of adjustment known. The bearings are connected by a frame with which they are cast in one piece, and by which they are maintained perfectly in line. This frame, together with the spindle and bearings, can be raised or lowered by a hand- wheel placed just below and back of the front of the table. A counter-shaft, with self oiling tight and loose, a belt shifter, a wrench, two reducing rings for hole in table, and three sets of collars for spindle are furnished with each machine. Spindle pulley is 2f inches diameter, 17 inches nett face. It should be run by a 2^- inch belt and at a speed of about 4,900 revolutions per minut$. The counter-shaft has a 15 inch driving pulley with 7£ nett face, and 9 inch tight and loose for 3 inch belt. It should run 900 revolutions per minute. 50 SERPENTINE CARVING- AND MOULDING- MACHINE. Although adapted to a large variety of work this machine is more es- pecially designed for the production of mouldings on work which is both curved and twisted, such, for instance, as sofa-backs. These are held upon the top of the cutter and guided against a gauge at the back thereof, and a ring upon the spindle which determine the position and the depth of the carving or moulding. Flat work can be held upon the table. Both ends of the spindle are provided with cutters, gauges, and rings, to enable the operator to work with the grain of the wood as with a two- spindle shaping machine. One of the projecting ends of the spindle is removable, to enable it to be taken off when in the way of curved work being done on the other end. 51 To have the belt completely out of the way this machine should be driven from below, but when this cannot be done it may be driven from the side by placing a pair of guide pulleys inside the column. To enable this to be done an opening for the belt is provided in the side opposite that shown in the cut. This machine is provided with one table or two, as ordered. Spindle pulley is 3 inches diameter for a 3 inch belt, and should run 5,500 revolutions per minute. Counter-shaft has a 20 inch driving pulley for 3 inch belt, and 9 inch tight and loose for 3y inch belt. It should run 825 revolutions per minute. DOWEL MACHINES Nos. 1 & 2. No. 1 is a small hand-feed machine for making dowel sticks up to f of an inch in diameter. Pulley is 2§ inches diameter for ly inch belt, and should run 3,500 to 4,000 revolutions per minute. No. 2 is a very accurate machine with automatic feed, and designed more particularly for making hammer sticks for piano actions, but capable of making sticks up to T 9 y inch diameter. Cone pulleys provide for two rates of feed, and interchangable feed rolls and cutter-heads for different sizes of sticks. Tight and loose pulleys are 8 inches diameter for 2 inch belt, and should run 580 to 670 revolutions per minute. 52 SAND-PAPERING- MACHINE No. 1. This is a very simple, efficient machine. Sand-paper is cut to templets 53 and the edges brought together and joined by glueing a strip of tough paper under them. When this has become dry the paper is slightly dampened everywhere except at the joint and is then slipped on the taper drums. In drying it shrinks and becomes tight and smooth upon the rubber covering with which the drums are provided. These are of different sizes to fit dif- ferent curves in the work. Flat work is done upon the table. This is hinged and provided with an adjusting screw to regulate its height, and it can be raised to give access to the drum. When sand-paper is applied in this way every grain is brought into contact with the work, whereas only the larger grains cut when it is used on the faces of revolving disks, as in some machines of this class. Further- more, when used on drums it is offered ample opportunity to clear itself of dust; it therefore does not become clogged, and, as a consequence, it lasts longer and does more and better work than when used on disks. The drums are 12, 8, 5 and 2 inches in diameter, each 12 inches long, and the loose pulley is self oiling. The tight and loose pulleys are 8 inches diameter for 4 inch belt, and should run 700 to 750 revolutions per minute. Should the rubber covering be accidentally injured it can be turned down with a piece of sand-paper on a block, or if destroyed it can be re- placed by a piece of carpet. When the machine is wanted for straight work only, it is made with two tables, and with only two drums, one on each end of the spindle. For very large straight work a larger two-table machine is made, with drums 12 inches in diameter and 24 inches long. This is built only to order. 54 SAND-PAPERING- MACHINE No. 2 . This machine is designed for the sand-papering of both straight and curved work where it is desirable to produce square corners and true faces. 55 With the ordinary machine too much depends upon the skill of the workman in the smoothing of such work. With this machine a boy can produce better results on many classes of curved work than a skilled work- man with the old style of machine. The work being supported on the table is of necessity always true with the vertical drum, and nothing but square work can result. Interchangable vertical drums are furnished with each machine, any one of which can he easily and quickly placed on the spindle without re- moving the standard which supports its upper end. Sand-paper is cut to templets and the edges brought together and joined by glueing strips of tough paper under them. When these have be- come dry the paper is slightly moistened everywhere exceqtt at the joints, and is then slipped on the drums, where, in drying, it becomes smooth and tight. This, in the case of the horizontal drums, which are tapered and rubber covered, is sufficient to hold it; but in the case of the vertical drums, which are straight, it is still further held by their expansion when they are secured in position, they being split on one side and provided with internal cones which are forced into them by screwing down the spindle nut. Besides their rotary motion these vertical drums receive a slow verti- cal motion, the length of which is variable at the operator’s pleasure, and which provides for using the full face of the drum even on narrow work, and also prevents the formation of ridges or grooves in the work. Flat work is done on the side table. This is hinged and provided with an adjusting screw to regulate its height, and it can be raised to give access to the drum. Should the rubber covering be accidentally injured it can be turned down by a juece of sand-paper on a block, or, if destroyed, it can be re- placed by a piece of carpet. The horizontal drums are 12, S, 5 and 2 inches in diameter, each 12 inches long, and the vertical drums 2, 4 and 6 inches in diameter, 12 inches long. The vertical movement of the latter is variable from 0 to inches. Counter-shaft has self oiling loose and tight pulleys, 10 inches diame- ter for 4 inch belt, and should run 400 revolutions per minute. 56 This machine is adapted to a large variety of work, including rosette cutting and mortising. The latter is done by a cutter, cutting at both end and sides, producing, when the work is moved sideways, a mortise with half round ends. HORIZONTAL BORING MACHINE. 57 The spindle is of steel fitted to a steel tube with which it revolves and in which it slides. The wear is thus confined to the tube where it can be easily taken up by the adjustable caps. When spindles slide in the same bearings in which they revolve they become smaller at one part than at another and a perfect adjustment is then impossible. The spindle has a longitudinal movement of six inches, and it is pro- vided with an adjustable gibbed stop collar. The table has a movement of ten inches in the direction of the length of the spindle to enable it to be set close to bits of various lengths and to enable rosette and mortising cutters to be used close to the bearings, it also has a vertical movement of twelve, and a lateral movement of fourteen inches. The latter is effected through the hand-wheel in front, and its ex- tent can be limited by two adjustable stops provided for the purpose. The table is also provided with an adjustable square and miter gauge, an adjustable clamp, an iron fence with tapered dove-tailed ends forfacilita- ting the application of special wooden fences, and Avith scales for setting to sizes. All the slides are provided with adjustable gibs and the main bearings with adjustable caps. The height of the treadle is adjustable to enable the operator to set it low when boring short holes, so that he will not have to raise his foot un- necessarily high. The loose pulley is self oiling and the machine can be driven from above, beloAv, or from either side. To accommodate any possible position of the belt, the belt shifter is fitted to both sides of the machine, so that it can be used on either, and the fork can be turned either up or down. The self oiling tight and loose pulleys are 7 inches diameter for 3 inch belt, and should run from 900 to 1,100 revolutions per minute. Weight, about 735 lbs. 58 TWO SPINDLE BORING- AND MORTISING- MACHINES Nos. 2 and 3. These machines are designed to perform with accuracy, and in one operation that class of work in which two holes are to be bored at a given distance and angle, as in doweling, and in frame, chair and cabinet work. In each machine the two spindles are mounted on an adjustable head which enables them to be set to any angle from the horizontal, as shown in the cut, to the vertical, where one would be over the other; and to any dis- 59 tance between centres, from one to five inches with the No. 3 machine, or from one to sixteen with the No. 2. The table has a vertical movement of 12 inches from the spindles down, slides forward and back, and when ordered for mortising, sideways also. Adjustable stops determine the extent of these motions. Mortising is done with a revolving cutter cutting on both end and side, producing, when the work is moved sideways, a mortise with half round ends. When only one spindle is to be used, it may be disconnected from the large gear wheel by loosening and drawing back the bracket which supports the latter. This should be done whenever the machine is to be used for mortising, for then the belt may be run upon the small pulley and the spindle be driven at the high speed required without injury to the gears. For boring, the belt should be run upon the large pulley, as so high a speed is not necessary for boring as for mortising. The spindles and their pinions are of steel and the bearings are adjustable. A counter-shaft and a wrench accompany each machine. In ordering, please state whether the machine is wanted for mortising and boring or for boring only. Weight of No. 3, about 510 lbs.; No. 2, about 600 lbs. Speed of counter-shafts, 950 to 1,000 revolutions per minute. JENNING’S DOWEL BITS. Made extra strong to order, and threaded to fit the above machine kept always on hand. 60 VERTICAL BORING- SPINDLE. This spindle is adapted to general work and it will bore holes up to about six inches deep. In placiug it care must be taken to arrange it so 61 that when the spindle is up the belt will run upon the loose pulley, which is the lower one. This can be done by driving at a quarter twist from the main shaft. Thert when the bit is fed down to the work the belt will run upon the long tight pulley and start the spindle. When the latter is re- leased and drawn up by the spring, the belt returns to the loose pulley and the spindle stops. Thus a counter-shaft and belt shifter are dispensed with. Spindles are from 1 to l£ inches, and the pulleys from 3 to 5 inches in diameter, as ordered. All are provided with adjustable stop collars for determining the depth of the boring. A table is furnished only when especially ordered. For some large work it is not needed. In ordering state size of spindle and diameter of pulley wanted, and give height of main shaft above the floor, distance from main shaft to the floor above, size of driving pulley to be used, and distance required from floor to end of spindle when the latter is up. The speed should be from 800 to 3,000 revolutions per minute accord- ing to the general character of the work. When most of the work is in soft woods with small bits the speed can be much greater than when it is in hard woods with large bits. For gen- eral work a speed of from 900 to 1,200 is about right. WAVE MOULDING- MACHINE. This machine has automatic feed with self-acting stop motion which stops the feed when the cut has reached the proper depth. This feed is operated upon a new principle which obviates much of the wear to which the forms and racks on machines of the old style are subjected. The motion of the table is automatic, and the machine is operated by a single belt. 62 BEACH PATENT DRILL CHUCK.

This machine is designed for fine, accurate work, and is adapted to both boring and small rosette cutting. The frame is of iron, the spindle of steel, fitted to a steel tube with which it revolves, and in which it slides longitudinally. The wear is thus confined to the tube where it can be easily taken up by the adjustable boxes provided for the purpose. The spindle can be moved by either foot or hand, and the depth of the boring can be regulated by an adjustable stop-screw provided for the purpose. The pulley is 3 inches diameter for 24 inch belt. The spindle has a longitudinal motion of three inches, and it can be run at a very high rate of speed. SQUARING- LATHE. PATENTED. This lathe is designed for turning scpiare balusters, table legs, etc. It is so constructed that about 30 balusters can be turned at one time, result- ing in the production of work which is cheaper as well as more handsome than the round work. The machine is so constructed that the whole length of the blank can be turned with the exception of about 4 inch of one end. It is provided with an automatic device which temporarily sustains the blanks during the operation of filling the lathe and previous to the final clamping. In ordering, give the sizes of all blanks to be operated upon. 64 WOOD TURNING- LATHES. These are designed for use with wooden shears. They are very accur- ately constructed and are very strong. Having long bearings the spindles. 65 which are of steel, can be run at a high rate of speed. The heads and rests are planed on the bottom and the workmanship throughout is of the best. Two hollow chucks, two face plates with tapered screws, one male and one female centre, one single and one double spur centre, two single and two double rests, two rest banks, screw-bolts, hand wheels, and a complete counter-shaft with self oiling loose pulley and self oiling hangers are fur- nished with each lathe. Shears and legs are furnished only when ordered. For pattern making, moulding, or other large work the spindles of the Nos. 6 and 7 lathes are, when so ordered, provided with screws on both ends, and with two extra face plates for the outer ends of the spindles. When so arranged the screws for taking up the end wear are held in remov- able brackets. When these brackets are taken off and the outer ends of the spindles are used, the wear is taken up by bringing the tail centres against the inner ends. Four sizes are made, as follows: No. 4, swings 12 inches. “ 5, “ 14 “ “ 6, “ 18 “ “ 7, “ 22 “ Extra large moulding lathes made to order. 66 CARVING- MACHINE No. 1. PATENTED. 67 This machine is designed for carving busts, statuettes, medallions, etc. It will produce several sizes from one pattern, either enlarged or reduced. The pattern and work can be tipped to any angle in either direction, and can be moved back and forth by turning the hand-wheel at the front of the machine. A spring from above, not shown in the cut, balances the weight of the arm carrying the cutter and the forming pin, and enables it to be moved easily up and down, and sideways. The machine is six feet long, four feet high, and two feet six inches wide. It will take in work 18 inches long, and will swing 10 inches. Speed, 8,000 to 9,000 revolutions per minute. PIANO LEO CARVING- MACHINE No. 2. Although especially designed for carving legs for grand and square pianos, this machine is equally well adapted to the carving of busts, statu- ettes, etc. The cutter and forming pin are carried in a balanced frame which is moved up and down to follow the pattern. The work and pattern are carried upon a compound system of carriages which enables them to be inclined, turned on their centres, and moved lengthways and sideways. The machine will take in work 24 inches long, and will swing 18 inches. Gaps in the holders provide for the large tops of grand piano legs. BLOCK FACING MACHINE FOR ENGRAVERS, ELECTROTYPERS AND STEREOTYPERS. This machine operates like a lathe with a cross feed. For small work it takes the place of a Daniells’ Planer, and does more work with less power, and less care and trouble. The block to be faced is placed upon a face plate driven by a cone pulley, and is held by side clamps operated by right and left hand screws. It is then revolved against cutting tools which are fed across its face making a smooth cut and producing a perfectly true flat surface. This machine will face blocks 14 inches square. 68 ROUTING MACHINE. This machine is designed for the use of Stereotypers, Electrotypers, and Engravers, in cutting out the blank spaces in plates and blocks. The spindle is of steel fitted to a steel tube with which it revolves, and in which it slides longitudinally. The wear is thus confined to the tube where it is easily taken up by means provided for the purpose, and the 69 trouble experienced with machines where the spindle slides in the same bearings in which it revolves is wholly avoided. The spindle head is carried on a lever connected by a universal joint to a swinging arm. As this arm is strongly webbed and is provided with a long bearing on the outside of the sleeve forming the upper bearing for the vertical shaft at the corner of the machine, additional supports are dis- pensed with, and the table is left clear for the reception of large work. Both the spindle head and the stud carrying the intermediate pulley are movable, to enable them to be shifted to take up the slack of the belt. The spindle has a vertical adjustment of If inches, sufficient to adapt it to both mounted and unmounted plates, and the clamps are made double faced and reversible to fit both kinds of work. Either a spring rest for keeping the cutter from the work until the lever is depressed, or a solid rest as shown in the above cut, is furnished as ordered, but the solid rest is recommended as being safer and more convenient. The table will take on a plate 24x32 inches which can be completely routed without being shifted more than once. Six cutters, from -fa to f inch in diameter, and a tool box fitting the side of the body accompany each machine. An attachment for cutting straight lines is made to order. Speed, 7,000 to 8,000 revolutions per minute. Upright shaft has a 9 inch pulley for 3 inch belt, and should run 550 revolutions per minute. When necessary, this machine can be made to drive from above. PIANO ACTION MACHINERY. For Piano Action Saw see Circular Saw No. 6. Piano Action Screwing and Spring-winding Machines, Glueing and Setting Presses, etc., kept constantly on hand. Special machinery made to order. 70 PIANO ACTION BORING LATHE. The slide rest is adjustable vertically, laterally, and longitudinally. It can be set to any angle and either lengthways or crossways on the shears. An adjustable stop regulates depth of boring. Arranged for flat or round belt, as ordered, but flat is recommended. Loose pulley self oiling. Cir- cular sawing attachment made to order. 71 PURE OAK TANNED LEATHER BELTING.

Multiply the number of revolutions of one pulley by its diameter, and divide the product by the diameter of the other pulley, the quotient will be the number of revolu- tions of the latter; or, divide by its number of revolutions, and the quotient will be its diameter. EXAMPLES. A 30 inch pulley making 180 revolutions per minute, drives a counter-shaft with a 12 inch pulley. What is the speed of the latter? 180 x 30-f-12=450 revolutions per minute. A counter-shaft is to make 450 revolutions per minute, driven by a 30 inch pulley making 180 revolutions per minute. What will be the diameter of counter-shaft pulley? 180 x 30—450=12 inches. What will be the diameter of a pulley making 180 revolutions per minute, to drive a 12 inch pulley 450 revolutions per minute? 450 x 12-^180=30 inch pulley. In calculating toothed gears, substitute the numbers of teeth for the diameters, and proceed as above. To Calculate the Driving Power of Belts. Divide the speed in feet per minute by 750; the product will be the horse power a 1 inch single belt will transmit when in good condition and properly applied. A 2 inch belt will transmit twice as much as a 1 inch and £ as much as a 1 inch in addition. A 3 inch belt 4 more than a 2 inch, and £ as much as a 2 inch in addition. A 4 inch belt J more than a 3 inch, and -fo as much as a 3 inch in addition, and so on. As double belts can be strained more tightly than single, they will transmit about £ more than the latter. 72
