PREFACE
This Hand Book is offered to all who are in any way interested in wood
working machinery or equipment in the hope that it may be of real value.
The idea of the publishers has been to furnish in compact, readily accessible
form a comprehensive survey of the product of all the builders of wood working
equipment in the United States and to keep that survey accurate and up to
date by issuing at frequent intervals inserts covering new machines. It
has appeared advisable for many reasons to eliminate all illustrations from
the original issue of the Hand Book. The inserts, however, each covering a new
production, wall be fully illustrated.
The Editors hold no brief from any machine builder and have endeavored
to eliminate all sales argument and other non-essential matter, giving facts,
without comment and in an impartial manner. One interested in the purchase
of equipment can obtain from a brief study of this book a clear idea of the
productions of the various builders in any particular type of machine and will
then be in position to receive intelligently sales arguments from as many or
as few of the builders as desired.
George F. Cosgrove, President of The Cosgrove Company, under whose
personal supervision this Hand Book has been compiled, has spent the past
thirty years in the wood working industry in executive and consulting capacities.
His intimate knowledge of the subject covered is guarantee that the information
contained in the book is accurate and practical. The upkeep sendee w'll also
be under the supervision of the same staff who compiled the book.
A part of the business of the Cosgrove Company is also in the line of
consulting service. Specific problems connected with wood working plant
layout, equipment, production methods, etc. wdl receive special attention.
We invite correspondence.
Acknowledgment is made of the co-operation rendered us by the progressive
machine builders of the United Stales in the matter of furnishing the data
which has made this book possible. These builders have made and will continue
to make great advances in the production of improved machines of many
kinds. Ball and roller bearings as applied to this class of machinery, thin,
high-speed steel knives, jointing and grinding devices, direct mounted motors
of the high-speed type and many other important advances have been made
in the last few years. Many unproved matching, moulding, belt sanding,
mortising, shaping, and tenoning machines have been developed. An entirely
new type of machines embodied in the portable, motor driven bench machines
has also been brought out. The machine builders are by no means standing
still; new and unique machines are constantly appearing and the surest
and easiest way of being in possession of exact knowledge of them is to use
Cosgroves Hand Book with its upkeep service.

No. 1.
Airplane Strut Lathes
Builders:-
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Fay-Egan No. 447 machine is essentially a copying lathe with the
addition of a sanding belt and is used to turn and at the same operation sand
struts and similar airplane parts. Range is to work stream line struts up to
96" long and of 8" maximum cross section. This machine is built on a heavy
bed which carries massive head and tail stocks each fitted with two gear driven
spindles. The cutter head is controled by a tracing wheel which traverses a
pattern mounted on the lower pair of centers. The blank is mounted on the
upper pair of centers and is rotated at the same speed as the pattern. Operat-
ing on the ways between the centers is the main carriage which is fitted with
the cutter head yoke, a hollow steady rest and the sand belt pulleys and is actuat-
ed by a friction driven feed screw which provides variable feeds. Cutter head
is mounted on a ball bearing arbor and fitted with six knives. Blank while
being turned is supported close to the cut by the traveling steady rest. The
action of the cutter head is also to some extent neutralized by the action of
the sanding belt on the opposite side of the blank. Motor of 7 H H. P. may be
belted to countershaft. Floor space 66 "x 184".
No. 2.
Airplane Propeller Lathes.
Builders:-
Defiance Machine Works. Gilman & Son
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.	Mattison Machine Works.
This type machine is used for turning propellers, struts and similar parts
and is essentially a copying lathe of large range.
The Defiance No. 613 machine while designed with special reference to
propellers may well be used for various other turnings within its range of 14"
wide by 136" long. Either right or left hand turnings are produced from one
pattern. The design of this tool includes a cored rectangular base with extend-
ed top which forms horizontal ways for the head and tail stocks and carriage.
The head stock is fitted with two gear driven spindles one of which carries a
hollow chuck in which the blank is mounted by a pin through its central hole.
The second spindle which is in the rear of and in the same horizontal plane as
the chuck spindle carries the pattern. Tail stock is adjustably mounted on
the ways and is fitted with two screw and hand wheel operated spindles, one
for blank and one for the pattern. The carriage which traverses the ways
between the centers is fitted with transverse ways upon which a sub-carriage
is operated. The sub-carriage mounts the cutter head and tracing wheel
yokes. Main carriage is fed in either direction by a lead screw actuated by
double friction pulleys which provide five feed rates ranging from Vs" to
per revolution of the blank and giving the carriage from 2 y/ to 13" travel per
minute. The cutter head carries six right and six left hand knives and cuts
in either direction of feed. A centering device for the blanks is part of the
equipment. Motor of 7 A H. P. may be belted to the 420 R. P. M. counter-
shaft. Floor space 68" x 120". Net weight 3580 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 444 machine has range to produce two, three or four
bladed propellers up to a maximum diameter of 168" and true to within 1/12
degree. The output is two, two bladed propellers per hour. Essential features
of this machine are similar to the foregoing Defiance machine. Cutter head
is mounted on a ball bearing arbor and carries twelve knives. Blank is mounted
in a horizontal position by the spindle hole and is traversed by the cutterhead under control of tracing wheel and pattern. Motor of 7 H. P. 1200 R.
P. M. may be coupled to driving shaft. Floor space 82"xl59".
The Mattison machine operates on the copying principle but differs
from a standard copying lathe in the fact that, that both pattern and blank
are stationary and the latter is shaped one side at a time by successive lateral
cuts. Two, three or four bladed propellers may be produced. The design of
this machine involves a heavy base plate with horizontal ways upon which a
power feeding carriage operates. This carriage is fitted with ways at right
angles to the bed ways upon which it travels. On these transverse ways a
heavy cutter head housing travels laterally under control of a tracing wheel
and pattern which is mounted below the blank. The cutter head makes
successive lateral cuts across one side of the blade and reduces it to shape and
size with great exactness the process being repeated on each side of each blade.
The propeller is mounted by its central hole and the tip end is supported by
a tail center. Cutter head is of special design and is belt driven at very high
speed. Motor of 5 to 7 y2 H. P. is required.
No. 3.
Airplane Propeller Assembling Stand.
Builders:-
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Fay-Egan No. 445 stand is used to hold the propeller during the
final hand finishing operations and embodies a cast iron pedestal with a ball
jointed spindle at the top. The propeller when mounted on the spindle by
its central hole may be readily clamped in any required position.
No. 4
Airplane Propeller Boring Machines.
Builders
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Mattison Machine Works.
B. M. Root Co.
The Fay-Egan No. 446 machine is used for boring the spindle hole in
propeller hubs as well as for facing off, filleting and recessing the hub. The
design of this tool involves a heavy base plate which carries a cored column.
The vertical boring spindle is mounted in ball bearings and carried in a carriage
which operates in vertical ways on the front face of column. Both power and
hand feeds are fitted and the spindle is driven by belt from countershaft at
the base. A short cored pedestal is mounted on the base plate directly under
the boring spindle and is fitted with a fully indexed, revolving table which
carries a tapered bronze steady bearing for the lower end of boring spindle.
Motor of 5 to 7 H. P. 1200 R. P. M. may be coupled to the countershaft.
The Mattison machine like the Fay-Egan is a single purpose tool and is
fitted for boring the spindle hole and at the same setting and with the same
tools facing the end of hub. Jigs are also provided for boring the flange bolt
holes. Range is for hubs up to a maximum thickness of 10". The design
of the machine contemplates a base plate of cored type which carries a heavy
gooseneck column at the rear, fitted with accurately machined vertical ways
in which the spindle yoke operates by the action of hand wheels. Beneath the
spindle at the front of the base plate is located a large, square, vertically ad-
justable, “T” slotted table which is fitted with screw and hand crank operated
lateral and longitudinal movements. The vertical boring spindle is carried in
the sliding yoke in adjustable, tapered, self-oiling, bronze bearings and is belt
driven from motor of 5 to 7 ^ H. P. located on the base plate.The Root machine while designed with special reference to the boring of
propellers is not strictly a single purpose machine as are the two preceding
tools and may be used for various kinds of heavy, accurate boring. This
machine is built on a heavy column with large base on which a motor may be
mounted in place of the countershaft. The column provides vertical ways in
which the table is operated by a pedal controlled spiral and worm gear mechanism
which is power driven and fitted with an adjustable limit stop. The vertical
boring spindle is mounted in competent bearings above the table and driven
by belt from the countershaft or motor at the base. This machine may also
be built with foot lever operated table. Weight of motor driven, power feed-
ing machine 2150 lbs.
No. 5.
Airplane Stock Rip Saw.
Builders:
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Fay-Egan No. 245 machine is especially adapted to ripping wing
beams, longerons and other parts used in airplane construction as well as
for cambering timbers and similar work. For airplane work it is fitted with
a special double table 24'0" long. The machine is built on a cast frame with
attached countershaft and horizontal arbor mounted in a swing frame and
fitted with gravity belt tightener. The saw is located at the left edge of
a stationary table and is served by a table sixteen to twenty four feet long
which is mounted on roller trucks and travels on machined tracks, one flat and
one “V” shaped. Feed comprises two driven top rolls or spin’s mounted
in a swing frame and adjusted to contact with the top of stock mounted
on the table. A friction driven rope feed may also be fitted giving forward
feed of 150 F. P. M. and return of 450 F. P. M. The cambering attachment
which may be fitted makes it possible to rip timbers with a slight curve in place
of a straight cut and is used in fitted floor joist and other similar work. Range
is to carry saws to 16" diameter, cut stock 4" thick and take 17" between saw
and guage. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor. Floor
space 5'3"x35'2".
No. 6.
Automobile Body Gaining Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Defiance No. 401 machine is used for cutting all the gains in body sills
complete at one operation. The machine is built on a cored pedestal with
table knee on the front face and an elongated top which forms horizontal ways
for the three longitudinally adjustable carriages upon each of which is mounted
a power operated ram with a maximum lateral travel of 24 ". These rams operate
across the table either simultaneously or independently by means of a pedal
controlled friction feed with quick return. The rams are mounted on turn
tables and may be set to any required angle, right or left. Maximum distance
center to center of the outside cutter heads is 84 ". The outside rams are each
fitted with a center belted arbor which receives heads on either or both ends
while the center ram is fitted with two independently driven and adjusted
arbors belt driven from overhead countershaft. Each ram is fitted with
suitable guide pulleys. The arbor yokes are pivoted on the ends of the rams
so that a slight vertical motion, which is controlled by a shoe riding the top
surface of the stock being cut, is possible. This feature is of value in gaining
wide stock which is warped as the gains may accurately follow the surface of
the stock. The guiding shoes may also be used in connection with cams onthe table for guiding the cutter heads in any required path. The yokes may
also be locked rigidly to the rams and caused to travel in a true horizontal line.
The table which is vertically adjustable is mounted on graduated rockers and
may be tilted for the purpose of cutting tapered gains. Suitable clamping
and guaging fixtures are furnished as well as the necessary equipment for
guaging the cut from the top or from the bottom of the stock. Motor of 10
H. P. may be belted or coupled to the 750 R. P. M. overhead countershaft.
Floor space 60"xl08". Net weight 5425 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 418 machine is designed for cutting hinge seats in
automobile body door frames and for other similar work. It may also be
fitted with a special swivel table for wagon bolster and axle gaining. The
machine is built on a cored pedestal which carries in vertical ways on the front
face a large, universally adjustable table which may be fitted to guage the cut
from either the top or bottom surface of the stock. Transverse ways on the
pedestal top carry a power feeding ram with three rates of feed and a maximum
travel of 10". Mounted at the front end of the ram is a horizontal arbor about
60 " long which is driven by a pulley in the center between bearings and is fitted
with two additional sliding bearings which are adjustable to any position on
the arbor. Any required layout of cutter heads within a maximum distance
of 60" out to out of gains may be used on this arbor. Shear cutting heads 8"
to 10" diameter are usually fitted. Motor of 5 to 15 H. P. may be belted
direct to arbor. Floor space 55"x64".

Builder
Defiance Machine Works.
Pettingell Machine Co.
The Defiance No. 314 machine is designed for shaping the entire outer
curved surface of automobile doors and other similar heavy shaping in
body works. The machine embodies a cored frame which carries at the top
a horizontal arbor with a three knife, capped, 24 " cutter head fitted with a guide
collar at each end. The parts to be shaped are clamped in a light steel frame
of box type which carries at each edge patterns so located as to register with
the guide collars on each end of the cutter head. Two operators one at each
side of the machine draw this frame over the cutter head with the patterns in
contact with the guide collars. The knives are straight or curved as indicated
by the work. Where machines are to be used with straight knives only, the
cutter head may be of the round, thin knife type. The frame regularly supplied
has range for doors of a maximum size of 21"x21 y2". Motor of 5 H. P. may
be belted direct to the arbor. Net weight 695 lbs. Floor space 24 "x40 ".
The Defiance No. 400 machine is in every way similar to the No. 314 except
that the knives are 34" long. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor.
Floor space 24"x60". Net weight 820 lbs.
The Defiance No. 313 machine of this type is designed especially for
shaping body sills and is fitted with knives 6" long. At the left end of arbor
a 6" jointing head served by adjustable tables and fence is fitted. Motor of
3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor which should make about 4000 R. P.
M. Floor space 36"x60". Net weight 700 lbs.
The Pettingell machines for this work are built on open type cast pedestals
and the arbor carries two cutter heads with a stationary fence on the outer
end of each cutter head. A sliding, pedal operated, central guage approaches
either of the outer fences on pressure of the pedal. Arbor and cutter heads
are intergral and the cut is regulated by guide collars in the usual manner.
The No. 24 machine carries 6" knives, the No. 23 has 8 knives and the No.
28, 14" knives. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor of either
machine. Speed about 4000 to 4500 R. P. M. Floor space 36"x36". Net

Automobile Body Tenoning Machines, Saw Type.
Builders:
Pettingell Machine Co.
Baxter D. Whitney & Son, Inc.
The saw type tenoning machine is used extensively in body work but its
use is by no means confined to that trade as it is adapted to a large variety of
tenoning, notching, halving, etc. where coping is not required. It is especially
well adapted to angular work and is built exclusively in the single end type.
The Whitney No. 62 machine is a direct motor driven, beltless tool, the
design contemplating a heavy cored base carrying, on one side, a vertically
adjustable knee upon which the ways for the ball bearing carriage are mounted.
Both the knee and the outer end of the carriage are provided with independent,
hand wheel and screw operated, vertical adjustment. Rising from the pedestal
near the front is a housing which carries two vertically adjustable saddles, one
located directly above the other in the same vertical plane. In each of these
saddles is journaled a horizontal arbor with the Whitney type cast aluminum
motor rotor mounted between bearings in place of the pulley. The upper
arbor carries an 8" cut-off saw which cuts the top shoulder of the tenon and
the lower arbor carries in addition to the 8 " shoulder saw a 12 " saw which may
be adjusted on the arbor to trim the ends of tenons up to a maximum length
of 6 y2". In the rear of the horizontal arbor is located a direct motor driven
vertical arbor which carries two 16" rip saws which are provided with screw
adjustment to space them from to 3" apart. The office of these rip saws
is to cut in from the end of the stock and meet the cut of the shoulder saws thus
completing the tenon by the removal of a block in place of cutting the entire
surplus wood into chips as does the ordinary type of tenoning machine. The
arbors are all mounted in ball bearings and are driven at 3450 R. P. M. by
the direct attached motors. Motor control involves independent switches
for each motor which are mounted on the machine frame. Floor space 66 "x72".
The Pettingell No. 19 machine is of the belt driven type and is built on a
bolted-up, cast frame which carries an inclined housing on which the top and
bottom arbor yokes are adjustably mounted and driven by one belt, fitted with
gravity binder, from detached countershaft. The vertical rip saw arbor is
mounted in a fully adjustable housing and is driven by independent belt from
the countershaft. Upper horizontal arbor is fitted with a separable end section
the joint being located close to the bearing. Removal of this section when the
lower saw only is used greatly increases the range of the machine as regards
thickness of stock. Ripping saws on the vertical arbor are provided with a
fine simultaneous or independent vertical adjustment. The cast iron, grating
type table is mounted on rollers operating on ways which are mounted on a
vertically adjustable knee and is fitted with angular adjustment and suitable
lever clamp. The shoulder saws are 6", the trimming saw 10" and the rip
saws 16" in diameter. Range is to cut tenons to a maximum of 6 y2" long.
Motor of 5 H. P. 900 R. P. M. may be coupled to the detached countershaft.
Floor space 48 "x84 ". Net weight 1250 lbs.
The Pettingell No. 20 machine is a larger tool of the same type as the No.
19 and is built on a cored, box type base which carries the attached countershaft.
The vertically adjustable, roller mounted table tilts to 22 degrees. Range is
to cut tenons A" to 4" thick and to a maximum length of 7M". Shoulder
saws are 10", trimming saw 12" and rip saws 18" in diameter. Motor of 7 y2
H. P. 900 R. P. M. may be coupled to the attached countershaft. Floor space
60"xl20". Net weight 2300 lbs.No. 9.
Automobile Top Bow Bending Machine.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Defiance No. 51 Double Arm Bending Machine is especially adapted
to the bending of top bows and other similar bendings. Galvanized, cast iron
forms are employed and are adjustable to bend bows ranging from 36 " to 72 f
between bends. The forms are raised and lowered by power and are set down
firmly upon the blank at the begining of the bend. The double bending arms
which are in a horizontal position at the start of the bending are completely
covered by a steel master strap which forms a level table on which the blanks
mounted in the minor straps are laid. The minor straps are fitted with malle-
able bulkheads which provide screw adjustment of the upset pressure. The
bending arms are actuated by chains which run over the sheaves at the top of
the column and down to the drum which is on a horizontal shaft at the rear
of machine. Drum is driven from a lever controled, friction driven shaft by
a bronze worm and gear. An automatic limit stop checks the arms when
they have been run down to the starting position. The forms are collapsible
fcr the easy removal of the completed bend which is shackeled in the minor
strap for drying. Motor of 7 K H. P. may be belted, through a countershaft
to the friction pulleys. Floor space 96 "xl80 "xl25 " high. Net weight 8325 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 289 machine is designed with special reference to
bending seat backs but is also well adapted to the bending of top bows. This
machine employes wooden forms which are mounted on the front face of the
column over a vertically adjustable table on which the steel upset strap and
blank to be bent are mounted. With the blank in position the table is raised
and the strap, blank and form thus clamped firmly together. Chains are then
hooked to each end of the upset strap and the blank forced around the form by
the action of the friction driven chain drum at the base. Suitable guide sheaves

Automobile Top Bow Chucking Machine.
Builders:
Buob & Scheu.
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 99 machine is used for shaping the ends of top bows to
fit the metal sockets. This machine is built on a box type bed supported on
cast legs and fitted with a work holding carriage and a housing in which are
journaled a pair of horizontal cutter head spindles. The yokes which carry
the cutter head spindles are fitted to swivel under the control of a master cam
which is connected through a shaft and gears with the jaws in which the bow
is mounted. These jaws are self centering and may be rotated through a
large arc of a circle by a hand wheel, the movement of the jaws causing a
corresponding movement of the master cam. The cutter heads are brought
to the cut by the action of a lever operated rack and pinion. In operation the
bow is mounted in the self centering jaws and by the action of a hand wheel
is forced into contact with a tail center which is located between the cutter
heads. The cutter heads are then brought to the cut by the hand lever, which
is counter-balanced, and the jaws which carry the bow are rotated imparting
their motion to the cam and to the cutter heads which cut the end ofthe bow to an exact duplicate of the shape of the cam. A knee lever is em-
ployed to free the bow from the tail center. Heads are covered by suitable
cast iron hoods. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbors. Floor
space 30"x48". Net weight 1210 lbs.
The Defiance No. 9 machinéis of the combined type and is used for chuck-
ing the bows to fit the sockets, for rounding and shaping the entire bow and
for trimming to finished length. This machine is built on a box type bed about
84"long, at one end of which, with its axis parallel with the length of the bed,
is mounted a horizontal belt driven arbor. At the other end of the bed is a
sliding carriage which is fitted with self-centering jaws for gripping the blank
and is actuated on the ways by a hand wheel and rack and pinion. The arbor
carries on the end nearest the carriage a chucking head fitted with shear cutting
knives. Between the bearings are located a pair of three knife rounding heads
with stationary guides which are set very close to the cut and on the end_ of
arbor is the driving pulley with a 12 " cut-off saw on extreme end. In operation
the bow is mounted in the clamping jaws and by the operation of the hand
wheel is fed into the chuck where it is cut to a round tapered shape.
While still in the chuck the clamping jaws are elevated slightly by an
eccentric motion and the tapered round shape thus cut into oval shape to
fit the metal sockets. The bow is then passed over the rounding heads and
is finally trimmed to length on the saw which is served by a suitable table.
Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor which should turn 3500 to
4000 R. P. M. Floor space 34"x98". Net weight 1215 lbs.

Automobile Steering Wheel Bending Machine.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 704 machine is especially designed for bending steering
wheel rims but may be used with equal success on various other bends which
approximate a half circle. Range is to bend stock up to 2^" thick into any
circle from 11% " to 28" inside diameter. Stock to the amount of 12" in width,
either in one piece or in several pieces aggregating that width may be bent at
one operation. The output should run to 500 to 600 bends per ten hours.
The machine is of the standard double arm type and embodies features which
produce a drastic end pressure on the blank during the entire bending operation.
This pressure is securred through the use of an elastic cable railway tensioned
by four powerful springs which exert an aggregate energy of over six thousand
pounds. Upon this railway roll the trucks which carry the inner or lower ends
of the bending arms. The bending arms which are of cored, reinforced cast
iron form a level table, at the start of the bending operation, for the reception
of the steel master strap. Mounted at the outer ends of the bending arms
are the head blocks which receive the end pressure of the blank as the bend
progresses. These head blocks are fitted with automatic, eccentric operated
mechanism which acts to relieve the increasing end pressure as the bend nears
completion. The bending arms are actuated by heavy chains running over
sheaves at the top of column and down to a drum which is driven by friction
pulleys and a powerful worm gear mechanism. Forms are of cast iron and
are collapsible for easy removal of the bending. They are mounted on a sliding
head block and are set down firmly onto the blank at the start of the bend-
ing, Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted to the friction pulleys. Floor space

Automobile Rim Boring Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 6 machine is used for boring the spoke holes in heavy
truck rims and has range for holes up to 2)4" diameter in rims of any thickness
up to 12" wide and of any diameter over 18". A feature of the machine is
the compressing mechanism which involves a jaw which exerts a heavy pressure
on the rim just over the hole. The action of this jaw and of the boring spindle
are automatic, the jaw desending just as the bit starts forward and maintain-
ing the pressure until the bit clears the wood on the back stroke. In boring
the lighter class of rims this device may be adjusted to act with such power
that the wood is compressed while being bored and when the pressure is
released an oblong hole which tends to prevent splitting when the spoke is
driven is the result. On rims too heavy to be compressed the device is very
effective in clamping the rims firmly for boring. The machine is built on a
cored pedestal vrith cast iron table and horizontal ways for the boring spindle
carriage. Carriage is actuated by a double crank mechanism driven by cut
gearing and controlled by a pedal. The boring spindle is belt driven from a
two speed countershaft which gives spindle speeds of 1770 and 3450 R. P. M.
The double crank mechanism makes either a long or a short carriage stroke
readily available. The strokes are continuous so long as the controlling pedal
is depressed. The compressing jaw operates in vertical ways on the front
of the pedestal and is actuated by a cam within the pedestal synchronously
with the strokes of the carriage. Special guaging devices are built into the
machine. Motor of 7 y2 H. P. with extended shaft, double pulleys and out-
board bearing may be belted to the countershaft which is fitted with two

The Defiance No. 102 machine is used for shaping the inside and outside
circles of heavy, sectional type truck rims performing the same operation
on this type rim as does the No. 5 machine (23) on bent rims. Range is for rims
of 24" to 42" diameter and up to a maximum width of 12". The principle
involved is that of the face plate type of lathe and from one to four segments
of rim may be mounted on the face plate and trued by the revolving milling
type cutter. This machine is built on a heavy cored base plate one end of
which rises to form bearings for the horizontal, gear driven chuck shaft which
carries a four jaw, self-centering chuck of 42" capacity. The chuck is fitted
with special screw operated clamping jaws so designed that the rim segments
may be mounted on the inside of guide bars for cutting the inner circle and on
the outside of the same bars for truing the tread in agreement with the inside
cut. One, two, three or four segments may be mounted at orce. Facing
the chuck is a pedestal cast integral with the base on which is mounted a
universally adjustable cutter head carriage. The forged steel large diameter
cutter head arbor is mounted on this carriage in self-oiling bearings, driven
at high speed by belt from overhead countershaft and fitted with multi-tooth
milling type cutters. The carriage feeds comprise longitudinal and lateral
motions actuated by screws and hand wheels together with a power driven
infeed with adjustable limit stops. A device is provided whereby the cutter
may be set to cut any predetermined circle without preliminary measuring
or trying and all adjustments for regulating the cut are fitted with micrometers
and are operated by suitable hand wheels and levers. The drive involves
two counters, the auxiliary countershaft being belt driven from the main
one. Main countershaft turns 800 R. P. M. and may be driven by motor
of 10 H. P. Floor space 46"xll8". Net weight 5140 lbs.
Another type of Defiance machine is designed for truing the tread of
bent rims after the inner circle has been fitted and has range to work rims
24 " to 40 " inside diameter, 1" to 4 " thick and up to 14	" wide. This machine
is built on a heavy cored frame which rises at the rear to carry bearings for
the horizontal cutter head shaft which is driven by tight and loose pulleys
between bearings at 600 R. P. M. and carries a four knife, steel banded, disc
cutter head 40" in diameter. The knives are shear cutting and the disc is
inclosed in a casing. In front of the disc is a cored pedestal which is mounted
on the base plate and fitted with a large square cast iron table on which are
a set of fan shaped guides and an adjustable vertical idle roller. In operation
the rim to be trued rests upon the table with its previously trued inner cir-
cumference contacting with the guides and the idle roller and is fed by hand
around the guides and into the cut, the amount of cut and thickness of rim
being governed by the adjustment of the idle roller which bears on the trued
inner surface of rim.

Automobile Spoke Tenon Cupping Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 212 machine is used for recessing or cupping the ends
of tenon on automobile wheel spokes after the wheel has been assembled.
The object of this operation is to allow the steel tire to take a uniform bearing
around the entire circumference of the wheel thus allowing the wood rim to
rest firmly and squarely on the shoulder of each spoke tenon. The depth of
the cupping should be based on the load capacity of the wheel and should be
of such depth that the liability of the wood rim being compressed under the
load to such an extent that the steel tire rests on tha ends of tenons is eliminated.
Range is for wheels 16" to 42" diameter and up to 3" face. This machine
is built on a cored pedestal which terminates in a circular top section on which
is mounted a saddle which carries horizontally a round steel bar. On this
bar the working parts comprising the boring spindle yoke at one end and the
sliding work holding carriage are mounted. The carriage is operated on the
rod by a counter-baianced pedal and is fitted with a vertical stud on which the
wheel is mounted by the hub and rotated by hand. With the wheel in position
on this stud the spokes are supported near the rim upon a circular track
which is fitted with a “V” notch just beneath the cupping tool. As the wheel
is rotated the spokes in turn drop into this notch and are thus centered with
the cupping tool. When the tenon is thus centered the carriage is brought
to the cut by the action of the pedal and the operation performed on the spokes
in succesion. The cupping spindle is belt driven and mounted in self-oiling
bearings. Motor of 3 H. P. may be belt direct to give the spindle about 4000

Automobile Spoke Shoulder Shaping Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 213 machine is used for shaping the tenon shoulders
on heavy truck wheel spokes to exactly fit the inner circle of the rim thus
insuring a perfect bearing of the rim on the tenon shoulder. The spokes may
be subjected to this operation either before or after they have been assembled
in the hub. The machine comprises a heavy cored base with a vertically
adjustable knee on its front face. Above the knee on the front face are also
located vertical ways in which two rams are operated in the same vertical
plane by a double crank mechanism driven by cut gearing and controlled by
a pedal operated clutch. A fixed, shear cutting knife is mounted on each
ram and is shaped to agree with the circle of the rim to be fitted. The central
portion of the knife is cut away to pass over the spoke tenon. The travel
of the rams is synchronized so that the lower knife completes its cut and retreats
slightly before the upper knife reaches the bottom of its stroke. Chucks
of two types are fitted, one designed to handle the individual spoke and the
other comprising a self-centering three jaw chuck for gripping the hub with
spokes assembled. The latter chuck is mounted on a carriage which is operated
on horizontal ways by rack and pinion and hand wheel. Either type of hold-
ing fixture is provided with quick acting jaws and is universally adjustable. In
operation the end of spoke is supported by a lever operated cup center located
between the rams. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the 450 R. P. M.

The Defiance No. 215 machine is used for sanding the throat and barrel
of automobile spokes and is fully automatic producing true accurate work
in large quantities. This machine is built on a cored base which carries the
horizontal main shaft at the rear. From the driving pulley on this main
shaft the sand belt which is 10"xll'7" long runs over two idle pulleys located
near the front of machine. These idle pulleys are fitted with a combined
straight and curved face so that the sand belt traveling over them is forced
to assume a shape which coincides with the straight and curved sections of
the spoke. The idle pulleys are located in the same vertical plane and the
contact of the belt with the spoke is made on that portion of the belt between
the idlers. The feeding mechanism located at the front of machine comprises
three driven sockets located on the points of a triangle and opposed by three
tail centers of cup form. The entire assembly of three driving sockets and
three idle cup centers is mounted in a reel like housing which rotates around
a central driving shaft. In operation the spokes are mounted in the centers
with the mitered end in the driving sockets and the round ends in the cup
centers and the rotation of the housing brings each spoke in turn into contact
with the sand belt at the point between the idlers where it is forced into the
required shape. Each pair of centers when in position before the sand belt
rotates the spoke on its axis under control of a tool steel cam which governs
the exact shape to which the spoke is sanded. The rotation of the housing
is automatic and one spoke is at all times finished ready for removal, one is
being sanded and a third is being mounted on the centers. All wearing sur-
faces are accurately scraped all gears are cut from the solid and bronze bush-
ings are freely used throughout the machine. The 750 R. P. M. countershaft

machine is built on a cored base which carries at the rear two horizontal saw
arbors which are belt driven from an overhead countershaft. The arbor
at the left is provided with longitudinal adjustment of 6" and lateral adjust-
ment of 2 Vi" while the right hand arbor has 1 A" longitudinal but no lateral
adjustment The saws are 10" diameter. In front of and below the level
of the saw arbors is located a horizontal, gear driven shaft which has an
intermittant motion and carries double disc clamping devices. This disc
feeding mechanism receives the spokes and carries them past the equalizing
saws and to the tenoning station. The hollow tencning head is mounted
on a horizontal arbor at the right of and below the eqaa’izing saws. This
arbor is belt driven from overhead and is mounted in a yoke which operates
in horizontal ways parallel with the spoke. In operation the spoke is fed
by hand to the gripping jaws on the feed discs and is by them carried through
the saws and to the tenoning head where the feed mechanism dwells synchron-
iously with the advance of the cutter head which is cam actuated. The finished
spoke is then discharged onto a belt conveyor. The tenoning and equalizing
operations are continuous and are fully automatic. Motor of 7 H H. P. may

breakers and is with, not across the grain. This machine is built on a cored
pedestal with extending armsat the rear on which a sub-countershaft is mounted.
In front of and parallel with this sub-counter are horizontal ways upon which
two sliding yokes are operated. Each yoke is fitted with a vertical belt driven
spindle which carries at the top end a four knife cutter head. Near the front
of the machine on horizontal ways at right angles to the cutter head yoke
ways is the work holding carriage which is fitted with automatic self centering
jaws for gripping the spoke to be faced. This carriage has an automatic
motion in a horizontal plane and carries the spoke between the cutter heads.
Located on each side of the carriage are adjustable cams or guide bars which
make contact with rollers on the sliding yokes which carry the cutter head
spindles. The yokes are held in contact with these stationary cams by heavy
springs and the position of the cutter heads in relation to the spoke mounted
on the carriage is thus accurately controlled by the cams on the sides of the
carriage. The machine is fully automatic, the spoke gripping jaws opening
and closing, the carriage traveling in and out between the cutter heads and
the cutter heads advancing to the cut and retreating in perfect synchronism
so long as the safety cutout is locked in position. When this safety cutout,
which acts by means of a special clutch to instantly arrest the motion of the

record the exact inside diameter of the steel rims used on automobile wheels.
This machine is built on a cored pedestal of round section which terminates
in a knuckle which carries four horziontal, equally spaced steel bars. Each
bar is provided with an adjustable lug on which the rim to be measured is
mounted. Accurately fitted to a reamed hole in the top of pedestal is a swing-
ing arm which carries a measuring disc with range to measure rims from 20"
to 40" in diameter. In operation the steel rim to be measured is placed on
the lugs in a horizontal position and measuring disc placed in contact there-
with with the disc figure “O” registering with a mark on the rim. The disc
is then rolled around the rim and the exact inside circumference is indicated
on the circular scale. This measurement is then transfered to linear scale,
graduated in half size inches and fitted with a reamed hole, which is mounted
on the sizing machine and employed in setting the cutting tool to produce a
sized wheel exactly fitting the steel tire. Floor space 40"x40". Net weight

The Defiance No. 1 machine is employed in dressing the shoulder or that
portion of the axle beyond the mouth of the skein which can not be reached
by the Skein Fitting Machine described in paragraph No. 57. It is designed
for use on heavy wagon axles of the type fitted with cast iron or pressed steel
skeins. The machine comprises a cored pedestal which carries a horizontal
arbor with driving pulley on one end and cutter head on the other, both outside
the bearings. On the top of the pedestal, to the rear of the cutter head is
located a cup center and immediately in the rear of the cutter head is a sta-
tionary, concentric, guide rest against which the axle rests while being cut.
In operation the axle is mounted, with one end resting in the cup center and
the other supported by a “V” rest carried on a small independent pedestal,
and revolved by hand while in contact with the stationary guide and the cutter
head. A single revolution serves to dress the shoulder to match the shape
of the cut of the fitting machine. This machine is usually operated by the
operator of the fitting machine at the same time the latter machine is working.

The Defiance No. 2 machine is used for cutting the ends of wooden wagon
axles to the exact size and shape to fit the cast iron or pressed steel skeins
used thereon. The machine is built on a cored, box type base with elongated
top on which the working parts are mounted. At the extreme right of the
top is located a clamping fixture involving self-centering gear operated jaws
which center and firmly hold skein to be fitted. Mounted in a housing
near the center of the top is a heavy forged steel, cutter bar which carries
on its left end a fixed, hook type, cutter and on its right end a roller. This
cutter bar is pivoted, near its center, on a steel spindle which is located at
right angles to the longtudinal axis of the cutter bar. This spindle, on which
the cutter bar is free to oscillate is journaled in a large circular sleeve which
is mounted in bearings carried by a sliding housing which is gibbed to the waysof the bed and is fitted with a power driven feed. The sleeve which carries
the cutter bar pivoting spindle is rotated at varying speeds by cut gears in
connection with two friction clutch pulleys. At the extreme left of the top
is located a screw operated self-centering clamping fixture in which the axle
to be cut is mounted. In operation the axle and the skein are mounted in
their respective fixtures with the roller on the right end of the cutter bar
contacting with the inside of skein. Pressure on a pedal then starts the rota-
tion of the cutter bar and the forward feed of the carriage on which it is mounted.
The fixed cutter on the left end of bar revolving around the axle under control
of the roller on the right end which traces the inside of the skein cuts the axle
to an exact fit for that particular skein. The cutter bar has a comparatively
high rotative speed when cutting the round portion of the axle which speed
is automatically reduced as the oblong part of the cut is reached. Machine

This type machine is employed in boring and at the same operation
forming bail woods and other small turnings. Blanks going to this machine
are square, equalized to length and may be bored either completely or partially
through the center and formed to any required shape.
The Smith No. 53 machine is built on a heavy box type bed mounted
on cast legs and fitted with countershaft and feed mechanism below the ways.
On the bed are mounted three pairs of horizontal, opposed, cam actuated,
belt driven spindles. Between the spindles are located a hopper feed mechanism
and a cam actuated swing frame which carries a formed finishing knife. Spindles
are mounted in Skayeff ball bearings, are located in the same horizontal plane
and each set of three is driven by one belt running over guide pulleys from
the countershaft in base. In operation the blank is automatically fed from
the hopper and centered at the first pair of spindles which carry bits set to
bore one quarter way through the blank from each end. Blank then advances
automatically to the second pair of spindles which carry bits to complete the
boring from end to end. The boring being completed the blank is automat-ically mounted on the driving centers carried by the third pair of spindles
and shaped by the formed finishing knife in the swing frame. This system
dividing the work as it does between four bits makes for accurate boring and
good bit life. Output ranges from 2400 to 3600 pieces per hour. Motor
of 5 H. P. may be belted to countershaft. Weight 2000 lbs.
The Kline No. 88-1919 machine is built on a lathe type bed with cam
shaft below the ways and drive from an overhead countershaft. It employes
two horizontal, opposed, belt driven, cam actuated boring spindles, two similar
driving spindles and an attached cut-off saw served by a sliding table. In
operation the blanks are cut to length from random length squares and pass
by gravity to the hopper whence they are taken by a feed finger and fed to
the boring bits where they are centered and bored axially. The bored blanks
are taken from the boring station by a dial feed mechanism and mounted
on the driving centers by the holes. The blank is then formed by the finish-
ing knife which is mounted in a cam actuated swing frame. Centers then
open and the finished turning is discharged from the centers by a cam operated
knock out. This and similar machines built by Kline may be fitted with a
fixed knife which travels on a horizontal way above the blank and reduces
same to a cylinder prior to the cut of the formed finishing knife. Output
ranges up to 1500 pieces per hour. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted to the

Tumbling barrels used for polishing bail woods are usually of the ordinary
type in which the articles to be polished are placed in a revolving drum with
a quantity of shavings or sawdust and revolved for some hours, the attrition
of the articles themselves accomplishing the polishing. Tallow, beeswax,
linseed oil and other finishing materials are often used in the tumbler with
good results. Green turnings may be dryed and polished at one operation
by the use of a special tumbler fitted to receive a blast of hot air, from a
fan, entering at one end. This process requires from 12 to 24 hours.No. 65.

The leter “R” denotes roller bearing and “B” ball bearings.
Ball bearings as applied to high speed cutter head arbors on wood working
machines have passed the experimental stage and are now generally accepted
as good practice in high grade construction. They save oil, attention, power
and a good part of the repair and upkeep charges. Roller bearings are used
extensively in transmission work and on the slower running machine parts
but have not come into use on high speed arbors carrying cutter heads. Ball
bearing motors are also used to a large extent especially in case where the
motor is designed for direct mounting of the cutting tools.
A great variety of sizes and types of ball bearings are made ranging from
the cheap, pressed steel type which is satisfactory for light, slow speed work, up
to the high grade double or single row radial and thrust types which can be
had in stock sizes and capacities competent for any service whatsoever.
Ball and roller bearing hangers, pillow blocks, etc. are coming more and
more into general use especially for high speed line, counter and group drive
shafts some of which are operated at speeds as high as 1000 R. P. M. with
good results. In general the high grade ball bearing involves parts made from
special steels, heat treated, ground and polished to exact sizes and fine finish
to furnish a frictionless path for the balls which approximate one third the shaft
diameter in size. Hardened steel sleeves are mounted on the shaft to take the
wear none of which comes upon the shaft itself. No adjustment of this type
bearing is usually necessary or possible and lubrication is required only at long
intervals. Competent grease retainers keep the gease in and the dirt out. Ball
or roller bearing units may be had from stock to fit most standard hanger
frames and many exhaust fans may be fitted with stock bearings.
A special countershaft as built by the Chicago Pulley & Shafting Co-
nvolves a combintight and driving pulley mounted on one ball bearing sleeve
and operating in connection with an independent ball bearing loose pulley.
This countershaft is built in any size required and as the shaft is stationary
and the only frictional parts being the two ball bearing sleeves, lubrication
is reduced to a minimum.No. 66.

The class of vertical band resaws usually employed in shop and factory
work embodies machines with wheels under 72" in diameter. The larger tools
with wheels 72" or more in diameter are essentially saw mill machines and
are described in the following paragraph. The tools contemplated under
this heading embody heavy, cored frames with wheels of cast iron, or
cast iron and steel combined. The lower wheel is often of the solid web type
and the tires are of chilled cast iron or weldless steel. Delicate tilting and
cross line adjustment of the upper wheel is provided for the purpose of training
the saw blade. The former adjustment involves the tilting of the wheel
from a true vertical plane and the cross line adjustment contemplates a slight
movement of the upper wheel shaft in a horizontal plane. A sensitive straining
mechanism involving knife edge pivoting points and weighted levers or springs
acting on the upper wheel asssembly is provided to maintain the proper tension
on the saw. Competent saw guides, usually faced with wood are provided
above and below the cut, the former being quickly adjustable vertically. Feed
works usually comprises four, driven, infeed rolls with two or more idle guide
rolls. The feed works may be tilted as a unit for bevel sawing and the rolls
may be set to center the stock or to slab off a piece of standard thickness
from the side of stock of varying thickness. For the purpose of easy comparison
the machines of the various builders have been divided into three classes,

The class of resawing machinery covered under this heading is designed
especially for saw mill use and to meet the exacting demands of that service
it is necessarily built very heavy and strong. When used behind the head
mill for reducing heaivy cants into plank and boards this type resaw greatly
increases the capacity of the mill.
The Clark Bros, machines are built in two sizes vrith 84" and 96" wheels.
They embody the standard long column band mill frame, wheels, etc. as
built by that company with the addition of suitable feed works which involve
four vertical rolls 8" in diameter together with two horizontal rolls. The
vertical rolls are mounted in frames which swing on heavy pivoting shafts
and are set to sixteenths by a quick acting lever mechanism. The two vertical
rolls on the inside of saw may be instantly locked at any distance between
y2" and 8" from the saw, by sixteenths. Rolls may also be set to self-center
within a wide range as the outer rolls are provided with a flexible spring tension.
Stock with a maximum variation in thickness of &]// may be fed without
adjustment or damage to the machine. All bearings are bronze bushed.

D. J. Murray Mfg. Co.
The type of resaw contemplated in this paragraph is distinctly a saw
mill tool as opposed to the hopper feed, horizontal machine which is used
largely in box and shook work. These saw mill machines are of very heavy,
rugged construction to enable them to stand up under the strenuous service
demanded. Most of the builders fit this class of machine with either steam
operated or manual set works. The essential difference between this and
the vertical machines is that the wheels are mounted on shafts which are
located in the same horizontal plane and the cutting tangent of the saw is
horizontal. The cut may be on either the top or bottom tangent of the saw,
the former being more usual.
The Clark Brothers machines are built in two sizes with 66" and 84"
wheels. Range is to cut stock up to 36" wide and the table lowers 6" below
the saw which with the 12" clearance above the saw makes it possible to cut
stock 18" in thickness. Live rolls are located between the wheels for returning
stock for a second cut. The cut is on the bottom tangent of saw which con-
struction gives a self-contained machine with all parts above the floor line.
Feed works comprise four driven table rolls together with sectional press
rolls. Variable feed mechanism provides rates ranging from 100 to 250 F. P. M.
Weights 20,000 lbs. and 34,000 lbs. Motor 50-100 H. P.
The Filer & Stowell machines are built in two sizes with 72" and 96"
wheels to carry saws 10" and 12" wide by 35'10" and 44'0" long. Cutting
is done on the top tangent of saw and the table which is 36" wide is adjust-
able to a maximum of 4 H" below the saw. Motor of 50-100 H. P.
The McDonough machines are built in four sizes with 62", 72", 84",
96" wheels to carry 8", 9", 10", 12" saws. Cut is on top tangent of saw and
the table adjusts to a maximum of 4^" below the saw. The top member
of the feed works is composed of a series of chains which are mounted in in-
dependent ways and adjust themselves to the uneven surface of the stock.
The chains in connection with the driven bed rolls furnish a very competent
feed. Machines weight from 15,000 lbs. to 22,500 lbs. and require motor
cf 50-100 H. P.
The Murray No. 177 is built with 72" wheels to carry saws 10"x36'0"
and does the cutting on the top tangent of blade. Table is 36" wide between
the guides and is supported on two pedestals with long sleeves which give
great stability. It is counter-balanced and is raised and lowered to govern
the cut by a hand wheel operated worm and gear mechanism. Table rolls
may be plain or corrugated. Press rolls are mounted on pneumatic cylinders
to cushion theirfallandmaybeplain, corrugated orspiked and of solidor divided
type. Feed works are driven by a variable friction mechanism which provides
rates up to 250 F. P. M. Driving wheel shaft bearings are water cooled.
Motor 75-100 H. P.
The Murray No. 175 machine is similar to the No. 177 except that it
is fitted with an endless bed feed and a steam raising mechanism for the saw
frame which is raised and lowered over the stationary table to govern the cut
which is on the top tangent of saw. Wheels are 72" diameter and carry saws
12"x38'0". Endless bed is 36" wide, passes under and extends out beyond
the saw. Press rolls raise to a maximum of 12" above the bed. Motor 75-
100 H. P.
The Prescott machines are built with 72" and 84" wheels to carry saws
10" and 12" wide. Press rolls are 13" diameter, spring cushioned and chain
driven. Cut is on bottom tangent of saw. All driving chains are of Diamond
roller type. Beds are 30" and 36" wide, counter-balanced and adjust to amaximum of 4" below the saw. Greatest distance above saw to frame 12".
This machine may be fitted with either the roll or endless bed type feed and
if the former is used the bed rolls are five in number and 9" diameter. A
friction feed mechanism provides rates ranging from 125 to 250 F. P. M.
Motor 50-100 H. P.
The Mereen-Johnson machines are built in two sizes and carry saws
6" or 8" wide which cut on the top tangent. Table rolls are readily changed
and may be plain, spiked or corrugated. Press rolls are 12" diameter and

Band Resaws, Horizontal, Hopper Feed.
Builders:
Mereen-Johnson Machine Co.
Wm. B. Mershon & Co.
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
This type resaw is essentially a box factory tool and the system in use
in plants where it is employed involves the surfacing of the stock to thickness
and the cutting of same into finished widths and lengths before resawing.
The pieced up stock is often double tongued and grooved and pressed together
prior to the resawing. The bottom layer of stock in the hopper whether
composed of one or several pieces is fed through the saw at once. The output
therefore on certain classes of work is greatly in excess of the vertical, hand
fed, machine.
The Mereen-Johnson No. 145 machine is built with 50* wheels to carry
saws 6"x25'3" long which cut on the top tangent. Feed comprises two top
and two bottom rolls six inches in diameter and all driven. The cutting
line is within 13^" of the center of the last pair of rolls. The first upper roll
is sectional, all others are solid and the top rolls are spring tensioned. Rangeis for stock Yi to 2" thick, 10" to 48" long and up to a maximum width of
24" in one or several pieces. Without the hopper which may be easily removed
the table will lower to slab off 1" stock from planks 4" thick. Motor of 25 to
35 H. P. 600 R. P. M. may be coupled to driving shaft. Floor space
110 "xl26 ". Weight 9250 lbs.
The Mershon machine is built with 54" wheels to carry saws 6" to 7'
wide and 27’0" long. This machine being an adaptation of the hopper fed
twin resaw of the same builders (described under No. 75) the cut may be on the
top or bottom tangent of saw as ordered. The feed may be either of two
types, pusher or roll and the rates range from 20 to 125 F. P. M. under control
of a hand lever. The roll feed machine embodies two driven bed rolls, with
sectional, driven press rolls above. On this type feed long stock may be fed
independently of the hopper thus increasing the range of the machine. The
optional pusher type feed mechanism is especially adapted to feeding at one
time several pieces of matched or unmatched stock which may vary considerably
in thickness. The driving wheels are of the solid web type and both driving
and idle wheels carry weldless steel tires. Guides of the Mershon rotary
type are fitted. Range with roll feed and hopper is for stock up to 24" wide
by 48" long, with pusher feed 26" wide by 36" long. This single machine may
at any time be converted into a twin (75) by mounting the required parts.
Motor of 25 to 35 H. P. rnay be coupled to the drive shaft which makes 575
R. P. M. Floor space 132"xl44"x96" high. Weight 9000 lbs.

Band Resaws, Vertical Twin, Single Pedestal Type.
Builders:
Wm. B. Mershon & Co.
This type machine is designed for use in cutting box stock, cloth boards
and similar stock where it is necessary to make two or more cuts from a board
or plank of medium width. The design of the machine contemplates a com-
petent base which journals the single drive shaft which carries two saw wheels,
one 46 y/ and the other 43 in diameter. From the base two columns
rise which carry the independently adjustable top wheels of the same
size as the driving wheels. The saws which are located one behind the
other are positioned in their vertical path by ball bearing wheels or rollers
which bear on the the inside of the cutting tangent of saw just above and
below the cut thus serving the double purpose of positioning the saw and
acting as guides. The feed works involve a rubber or metal faced roll mounted
on a vertical, gear driven shaft and located opposite an adjustable fence in
which one driven and several idle rolls are mounted. The rubber faced roll
recedes 7 y/ from the line of cut of the first saw and the fence may be adjusted
within a range of 4" from the same line. Lateral adjustment of the saws by
the ball bearing crowding rolls has range to cut stock from 1" to Ay/ thick
into three equal pieces. Feed rates range from 16 to 100 F. P. M. Lower
wheels are of the solid web type and all wheels carry weldless steel tires. Wheels
and saws are competently guarded by metal casings which extend from the
floor line around the top wheels and down to the line of cut. Saws are 4 y/
wide by 23'2"and 23'10"long. Motor of 50 to 75 H. P. may be coupled to the
625 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor space 72"x78"xl04" high. Weight 7200 lbs.No. 74.

This type machine is used to a large extent in place of the older type circular
rip saw for general ripping and has the advantage of taking less saw kerf
and being a safer machine to operate as there is no possibility of stock kicking
back. It is especially well adapted to the working of heavy stock. For
accurate work on the lighter class of stock the advantages of the band over
the circular, outside the feature of safety are not so apparant. More care
and skill are required in the upkeep of the band saws and the work as compared
to that of a 10' or 12" circular saw mounted on a competent machine has
no advantages as regards kerf, feed rate or accuracy. Both the band and the
circular have their special field. The roll feed band rip saw as usually built

The class of machines contemplated under this heading comprise the
standard type of band scroll sawing machines, built on cored, gooseneck
frames and mounting rubber tired wheels ranging from 20" to 48" in diameter.
The main table of cast iron ranges from 30" to 36" square and is fitted to tilt to
45 degrees to the right and slightly to the left. A smaller, auxiliary table of cast
iron or wood is mounted between the main table and the column and at a
slightly lower level than the main table. The wheels may be of cast iron,
spoked or disc type, the latter in the case of lower wheel only, or they may be
of built up construction involving steel spokes with steel or laminated wood
rim. A new machine offered by The Tannewitz Works embodies steel spoked,
aluminum rim wheels which are mounted on ball bearing spindles. The usual
practice is to mount both upper and lower wheel shafts in competent babbit
bearings of good length. Some builders are fitting ball bearings to one or
both of the shafts. In some machines of the older type the upper wheel is
bronze bushed and runs on a stud in place of being mounted on a shaft. The
European type machine as offered by the Fay-Egan Co. in their No. 458 and
No. 459 machines involves mounting the wheels between bearings, but the
the usual custom in this country embodies open end shafts for both wheels.
The yoke which journals the upper wheel shaft is subject to vertical adjustment
through a considerable range and is fitted with a sensitive straining device
together with tilting adjustment for lining the saw. Non-friction guides
(86) for the saw are fitted almost universally above the table and in some
cases below as well. The upper guide is carried on the end of a vertical, counter-
balanced guide bar, usually of square section, and is readily adjustable up
to the maximum range which is ordinarily on a 36" machine 16" to 18" under
the guide. Wire mesh guards are often provided for the upper wheel with
cast iron double doors for inclosing the lower wheel.
These machines require from 3 to 5 H. P. depending on the service. Wheels
36" diameter which are the common size for most work are operated at speeds
ranging from 400 to 600 R. P. M. giving the saw at the later rate 5600 F. P. M.
The character of bearings, weight and general design of the machine are of
course the deciding factors as regards the speed. The modern, ball bearing
tools of heavy weight and good design are of course competent for greater
speeds than the older type machine. Motor drive may be effected in several
ways. Motor may be mounted on attached bracket and connected to the
lower wheel shaft by leather belt with automatic binder, by silent chain or
by spur or spiral gears. The driving element is usually incased and if chain
or gears are involved they are operated in an oil bath. The direct motor
driving method involves a motor of the required speed with its housing bolted
directly to the main frame of machine and the lower wheel mounted on end
of motor shaft. Thé indirect methods of course permit the use of motor speedsNo. 84, Continued
ranging from 900 to 1800 R. P. M. whereas the direct connection calls for a
slow speed motor.

In the foregoing table where bearings are noted as bronze and babbit
it denotes that the upper wheel is bronze bushed and runs on a stud. If
there is any place in the entire range of wood working machinery where ball
bearings would seem to be indicated it is on the upper wheel shaft of the band
scroll saw, where light, true running is essential, but for some reason builders
appear to be slow in fitting ball bearings on this class machine. Of the_ thirty
six inch machines listed in the above table, twenty six in number, the lightest
weight 1200 lbs., the heaviest 2125 lbs. and the average is 1575 lbs. This
does not take into account machines like the Fay-Egan which are listed but
on which it is impossible to obtain weights.

Sidney Machine Tool Co.
E. C. Atkins & Co.
Henry Disston & Sons
B. M. Root Co.
This device is used to guide and steady band scroll saws above and below
the cut. Some type of non-friction roller guide is almost universally mounted
above the table and for best results a similar guide should replace the wood
blocks sometimes used beneath the table.
The American “Mohawk Dutchman” guide comprises adjustable jaws
mounted in ways at an angle with the travel of the saw. In the rear of and
below these jaws is located a wheel with concave faced rim. This wheel is
mounted at the end of a spindle which is journaled in an adjustable sleeve.
The axis of the spindle is located at an angle with the travel of the saw the
thrust of which is received on the concaved periphery of the wheel across whichthe saw travels as a result of the angular setting of spindle in relation to saw.
The Jones Superior guide differs from the foregoing only in the fact that
the jaws are composed of a series of leaves which are governed in number by
the width of saw. These leaves are to be so adjusted that one pair bears on
the front edge of saw near the roots of the teeth and another pair near the
rear, leaving the center of saw free from friction.
The construction of other makes of guides while differing in detail embodies
the same general design. Adjustable, steel faced jaws are mounted in ways
at right angles to the travel of the saw. In the rear of the jaws is located a
disc mounted on the end of a shank which is journaled in a sleeve with ball
thrust bearing and spiral spring tension to contact the disc with back edge of
saw. The disc shank is carried in a horizontal position at right angles to the
travel of saw which contacts with the face of disc near the circumference.

Hand feed heading saws may be divided into two types, the first is similar
to the Holmes No. 41 y2 machine described under No. 98. The second
type involves a vertical arbor with the saw flush mounted at the top. The
carriage which is fitted with suitable dogging and guaging mechanism is
usually mounted on rollers and travels on horizontal ways located just above
the saw. The distance between the w7ays is somewhat greater than the
diameter of saw. The bolt is presented at about the center of the saw
making the cut lengthwise of the grain. Saws on this as on all heading
machines are taper ground to a rather thin edge and are mounted on large,
beveled flanges to which they are bolted.

Barrel Stave Tongue and Groove Machine, Automatic.
Builders:
E. & B. Holmes Machinery Co.
This machine is designed for use in tonguing and grooving slack barrel
staves where a specially tight package is required to contain salt, sugar, flour,
cement, soda ash, etc. The Holmes No. 126 machine is built on a suitable,
rectangular cast frame with the horizontal cutter head arbor mounted at
the top. This cutter head carries on one end the groove cutter and on the other
the tongue cutter and is driven at 5200 R. P. M. by belt. Heads are of special
design and have very little tendency to tear out. The staves are fed to a
chain conveyor at one side of the machine and before they reach the feed
works proper they encounter a device which rises from below and reverses
every alternate stave end for end so that both ends of the barrel are the same
diameter. Entering the machine the stave is gripped by feed rolls, mounted
on vertical gear driven shafts, and fed over one of the cutter heads. The
stave is then released and is transferred by oscillating arms, working over arch
shaped steel bars, to the feed rolls on the other side of machine. The stave then
passes over the last cutter head and is discharged from the machine by a pair
of oscillating arms. All functions of this machine are automatic and the output
is as much as 15,000 to 20,000 staves per day. Motor of 5 to 7 ^ H. P. may
be belted direct. Floor space 78"xl08". Net weight 3000 lbs.

Builders:
E. & B. Holmes Machinery Co.	Trevor Mfg. Co.
Rochester Barrel Machine Works.
This machine is employed in cutting slack barrel and keg staves from
bolts of ash., elm, oak, gum or woods of similar texture. The bolt which is
boiled or steamed to soften it is cut into quarters so that the knife will cut
rift-wise of the grain. The principle upon which the machine operates is
that of forcing the softened bolt over a curved, stationary knife. The essential
parts of the machine involve a heavy, rigid cast frame which carries on a hor-
izontal cross member a fixed knife ranging from 24" to 60" long and from
6" to 8" wide. This knife is curved transversly across its face to the radius
of the package for which staves are to be cut. In front of the knife a tumbler
bar of the same length as the knife is pivoted so as to swing on a radius corres-
ponding to the curve of the knife. This tumbler bar being actuated by a
connecting rod from a belt driven crank shaft forces the bolt over the knife
cutting a stave at each stroke. The tumbler bar is faced with end grain wood
blocks to receive the knife when it cuts through the bolt. Motor of 7 H to
15 H. P. may be belted to the crank shaft. Weights of the 36" machine;

Saranac Machine Co.
St. Joseph Iron Works.
This type machine is employed in making bushel baskets from the prepared
braid and hoops and finishes the basket complete at one operation.
The Merritt machine is built on a heavy cored base plate on one end of
which is a pedestal which carries upon a horizontal shaft a female form of
the size of the required basket. Mounted over this form are the stapling chucks
which automatically take the wire from reels, form and drive the staples. At
the other end of the base is a second pedestal with a horizontal shaft which
carries the male form of a size to fit the female form. In operation two inside
hoops are placed on the male form, two outside bands are mounted in guides
beneath the stapling chucks and the braid or body of the basket in mounted in
a vertical plane between the two forms where it is centered by suitable fixtures.
Movement of a pedal then starts the forward movement of the male form
which carries the braid into the female form and shapes the basket. Operation
of a second pedal then starts an intermittent rotation of the two forms with
the basket between them during which the staples are formed and driven by
the stapling mechanism. When the basket has made one revolution it is
completely stapled and the rotation automatically stops. A pedal motion then
discharges the finished basket and returns the forms to starting position.
Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the 140 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor

Battery Seperator Moulding Machines.
Builders:
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
For milling battery seperators which are made from Port Orford cedar
or similar woods, a very heavy, accurate machine is indicated. The milling
operation comprises dressing the stock to thickness, usually less than 14",
sizing to width and plowing a series of longitudinal grooves which extend
nearly through the stock. These operations must be accomplished with
considerably greater accuracy than is usually called for in wood working.
The Yates No. B-6 machine is designed especially for running this stock
and is built on a heavy, cored, box type frame with the table non-aduj stably
mounted on the side. The cutter heads comprise a round top head fitted
with six thin straight knives for surfacing, together with knives for sizing the
stock to width. This top heads cuts first. Bottom head is of the same type
and is fitted with three surfacing and three grooving knives. Both these
cutter heads are of the slip-on type and are mounted on spindles driven by
direct connected motors. Built-in joining devices are provided for both heads.
Cutting circle is 8 \i”. The feed works involve six smooth rolls of varying
diameters driven at rates up to 100 F. P. M. by a completely inclosed roller
chain mechanism. The first or infeed pair of rolls are 4" in diameter, the
second pair 4 a" and the last pair 4 M "■ This increase in diameter of course
increases the surface speed slightly toward the out feed end of machine and
is used for the purpose of putting the stock under tension as it passes the cutter
heads. This has the effect of pulling the stock through the cutters in place
of pushing it as would be the case were the rolls of equal diameter. This
machine is guaranteed to produce stock accurate within limits of 1-1000".No. 155.

Belt Lacing Machines.
Builders:
Birdsboro Steel Foundry & Machine Co.
Clipper Belt Lacer Co.
Peerless Belt Lacing Machine Co.
These machines are used for making a hinge type of joint for the ends
of leather and other belts. A coil of soft wire shaped like a compression spring is
sewed through the belt at the end so that about one half the coil projects
over the end of belt. The coils are then flattened down flush with the surface
of the belt and the other end of belt is similarly fitted. The coils are then
interlocked and a pin usually of rawhide is run through the two coils making
a perfect hinge joint.
The Peerless and Birdsboro machines are very similar in operation and
construction. They are built on a pedestal with cast iron housing at the
top in which grooved, horizontal rollers are mounted and operated by a hand
crank. Directly in front of the three grooved rollers is a lever operated clamp
in which the belt to be laced is mounted with its end partly between two of
the rollers which are located on the three points of a triangle. A “needle”
shaped like a compression spring and fitted with sharpened ends is entered
between the grooved rolls and by the operation of the hand crank is forced
through the belt leaving a series of holes near the end of belt and close together.
The coil of soft wire lacing is then by the same process and without unclamp-
ing the belt forced through the holes made by the needle. The ceil is then
flattened out and pressed into the surface of the belt by the powerful lever
operated clamp. The size of the needle and lacing stand in very exact relation
to the thickness of the belt, The position of the grooved rolls is dependent
on the belt thickness and the needle must be of a size to agree with the position
of the rolls otherwise there will not be sufficient friction to force it through
the belt. Some machines employ a right hand needle and coil on one endof the belt and left hand on the other. Others use the same on both ends.
The (Tipper machine is of the portable type and produces about the same
results as the forgoing machines by the use of separate hooks in place of
the wire coil. The hooks are carded like pins and are entered into the machine
before the paper is removed. Powerful lever operated mechanism is provided
which sets the pointed ends of the hooks into the belt and clinches them into
a hook shaped end. This machine is made in various sizes and is very small
and light so that it is readily taken to the belt whereas the larger machines
are stationary and the belt must be brought to them.

Belt Sanding Machines, Roll Table, Hand Block Type.
Builders:
American W. W. Machinery Co. Mattison Machine Works.
G. M. Diehl Machine Works.	Oliver Machine Co.
Curtis Machine Corporation.	H. B. Smith Machine Co.
This type of sand belt machine is used for sanding large flat surfaces,
mouldings, built up cabinet work, doors and framed stock and a large variety
of mill work. Refrigerators and other case work may be sanded after
assembling.
The machine is usually composed of two, independent, cored pedestals
which carry horizontal spindles at the top. One of these spindles is fitted
with tight and loose pulleys or motor and the other is idle. The sand belt
driving pulley on the driven shaft is usually rubber faced to give traction to
the belt which for certain work is run with very light tension. Arms pivoted
on the pedestals and projecting upward carry idle pulleys of small diameter
which are used for the double purpose of carrying the top tangent of belt up
up out of the way as well as for giving a spring or weight controled tension
to the belt. This tension on most machines may be accurately adjusted
for different classes of work.
Between the pedestals which are located at any desired distance apart
is located a portable cast iron frame which affords horizontal, vertically ad-
justable ways for the work table. This table is usually of slatted wood con-
struction and from six to eight feet long by three to four feet wide. The table
has a wide range of vertical adjustment and for large work may be removed
entirely and the work placed upon the floor. Table is mounted on the ways
on ball or roller bearings so that it may be very easily traversed in a direction
at right angles to the travel of the belt.
In operation the stock to be sanded is placed on the table in contact with
suitable stops and the table adjusted so that the lower tangent of belt clears
the stock slightly. A hand block faced with felt or of pneumatic type is then
employed on the inside of belt to force it against the work. The operator
handles the block with one hand and the table with the other so that he
readily brings any part of the stock under the belt for sanding. The hand
block may be of any shape necessary to guide the belt into coves, rounds or
other shapes as the usefulness of the machine is by no means confined to flat
work.
This type machine weighs usually fron 1500 lbs. to 3000 lbs. and sand
belts from 6" to 8" wide are used. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. is required. Sand
belt speed approximates 2500 F. P. M.

The American No. 16 is a good example of what might be termed an
average tool of this class. This is a heavy well built machine of good design
but without any radical features. It is built upon independent, cored, pedestals
of square section which carry goosenecks at the top of which, on idle pedestal
a weighted idle arm is pivoted. The driving pedestal carries the sand belt
driving pulley with the tight and loose pulleys on the outer end of the shaft
together with a stationary idler at the top of gooseneck. The three idle
pulleys run on ball bearings. The cast iron frame which carries the table
is mounted on lift type casters for portability. Slatted wood table is 36 "x
72" in size, travels on “V” tracks and is vertically adjusted by rack and pinion
and worm gear mechanism. Belts up to 8" wide may be used. The tight
and loose pulleys are 10"x4^" and turn 700 R. P. M. Weight 1900 lbs.
The Yates No. 430 machine is an example of a light tool of this class.
It is built on web and flange type independent pedestals which carry the lower
or working tangent of belt 40" from floor line. The slatted wood table is
30"x80" and is supported on two square iron columns from the cast iron base.
The supporting columns are adjusted vertically in machined ways by rack
and pinion and worm gear mechanism. Range is to sand stock up to 42"
wide by 9" thick. Tight and loose pulleys turn 760 R. P. M. Approximate
floor space ordinary location of pedestals 69"xl22". Weight 1326 lbs. The
Yates No. 427 machine is a much heavier tool of greater range. Built on
cored pedestals of circular section.
The Mattison Machine Works build several types of this machine among
which is the No. 134 which differs in some respects from the usual construction
of this class of machines. The pedestals in this machine are offset so that
they clear the ends of the table and offer no obstruction to the sanding of
any length stock. The pedestals are also much higher than usual and the
idler arms instead of carrying the belt up are employed to bring it down to
the table». The adjustment of these arms together with a wide range
of table adjustment give the machine range for a great variety of sanding.
The sand belt pulleys are 14 "x8" and run 700 R. P. M. Motor of 2 H. P.
may be belted, geared or coupled to the driving shaft which ordinarily carries
tight and loose pulleys. Floor space 72"xl32". Weight 2800 lbs.
The Eaglesfield Direct Motor Driven Belt Sander is an advanced type
of machine embodying several new features. The construction comprises
cored pedestals each of which carries a gooseneck with idle pullev. The
driving pedestal is fitted with a 1 y2 H. P. 900 R. P. M. motor of the most
improved ball bearing type with the sand belt driving pulley mounted directly
on motor shaft. Sand belt pulleys are of solid disc type and all idlers run
on Hyatt roller bearings. The table which is raised by hand wheel and lowered
by a ratchet lever travels on non-friction rollers. Table ways are mounted
on a competent cast base.
The Diehl No. 20 machine is built on a self contained frame composed
wholly of heavy wrought iron pipe and cast fittings. This frame carries the rubber
covered sand belt driving pulley at the left top corner and at the rpht the
main idle pulley. The table 25"x60" in size travels on rollers on “V’’ tracks
which are mounted in the frame. On the frame just above and at each end
of the table is pivoted a slotted arm with idle pulley at its end. These idlers
may be adjusted to carry the belt at any desired height above the table which
has no vertical adjustment. The sand belt pulleys are 6 " face and the driving
shaft may be driven from line shaft or from a 2 H. P. motor mounted on an
attached bracket. Floor space 48 "x84 ". Weight 700 lbs.
The Oliver No. 184-A Belt Sander is a highly developed, self contained,
ball bearing, direct motor driven tool of the hand block type and is built with
two sizes of table 32"x72" and 32"x95". Belts up to 10" wide may be used
and the maximum range between table and lower tangent of belt is 28 ". The
machine is self contained and embodies a floor plate with a cored, square
section column bolted to each end and connected at the top by a horizontal
brace. Mounted in vertical ways upon the right hand column is a carriagewhich carries a 2 H. P. 1800 R.P.M. motor which is connected to the 600 R.
P. M. drive shaft by inclosed gears. The drive shaft is mounted in dust
proof ball bearings and is fitted with a 24 "xlO" rubber faced sand belt drive
pulley which is covered by a sheet metal hood with exhaust connection. The
left hand column carries, on an adjustable carriage, the 24"xl0" rubber faced
idle sand belt pulley which is mounted on a ball bearing shaft and is fitted
with a hand wheel operated horizontal adjustment, through a range of 12".
for belt tension. Both the drive and the idle shaft carriages are vertically
adjustable on their respective columns through a range of 48" by means of
screws, hand wheel and suitable bevel gearing. This adjustment is simultaneous.
The wood slatted table is mounted on ball bearing ways with a travel of 36
The table ways are rigidly bolted to the inner faces of the columns and the
table is not subject to vertical adjustment. The motor is mounted on the
column and may include a drum type reversing switch. An inside circle
sanding attachment may be mounted on the idle shaft column and used for
sanding inside curved stock. Another attachment which is applicable involves
a nest of three independently counter-balanced idlers and is used in connection
with two or more belts for sanding mouldings. The ordinary felt covered
hand block may be used but for irregular work a pnenmatic pad which readily
conforms to the shape of the stock is furnished. This pad is blown up by
hand pump to any required degree of inflation. Floor space 132"-156" long

Belt Sanding Machines, Roll Table, Hand Block, Suspended Type.
Builders:
Curtis Machine Corporation.
The Curtis Model 47 machine is a hand block machine of the type that
is suspended from the ceiling leaving no obstructions to interfere with the
sanding of stock of any size. This is a combination type machine and is used
for edge work as well as for flat surfaces and moulding. Construction comprises
the usual table mounted on a base and adjustable verically by means of
a chain driven screw at each corner. Table is 30"x72" and travels on roller
bearing wheels. Entire top works of the machine is suspended on two steel
bars from the ceiling. Each ceiling bar carries a knuckle at its lower end
in which is mounted a round steel bar extending horizontally the length of the
machine. On this main bar are mounted revolvable saddles which carry yokes
for the spindles on which the sand belt pulleys are mounted. These saddles
may be set so that the pulley spindles are horizontal and the belt runs in the
usual way with the sanded side down and next to the table in this position
surface sanding is done. The saddles may also be revolved 90 degrees from
this position, bringing the spindles into a vertical position and the belt then
runs with both edges to the table in the position best suited to edge sanding.
The tight and loose pulleys are mounted on a shaft concentric with the main
bar of machine and drive the sand belt pulley through bevel gears. A feature
of this machine is the patented friction strip which consists of a strip of fabric
attached at each end to stationary arms and held firmly between the back
of the. sand belt and the hand block. This acts to prevent any pull on the
block as the friction of the running belt is taken on the friction strip. Weight

This type of belt sanding machine is used for flat plain surfaces only
and is most advantageous on large surfaces. The machines with the exception
of the Kent and Maddox types comprise a power driven block which travels
on the inside of the sand belt with a stroke the length and pressure of which
are under sensitive control. The Kent and the Maddox machines are used
for the same work but do not employ traveling blocks.
The Kent “Schimmel Spiral” machine is fitted with a flexible steel backing
strip for the belt which extends lengthwise to cover the entire sanding surface.
This steel strip is controled and pressed onto the belt by a series of presser
feet mounted closely together, each foot extending from edge to edge of the
steel backing strip. The presser feet are actuated through a horizontal shaft
mounted above them and rotated by bevel gears and hand lever. On this
shaft there is mounted a roller tipped rocker arm for each presser foot. These
arms are mounted spirally on the shaft so that rotation of the shaft causes
the presser feet to be successively depressed giving a spiral pressure of the belt
on the work. The machine is built in two sizes for work 74" and 98" long.
The sand belt pulleys are 18"x6 %" face and may be driven by a 3 H. P. motor
belted to the 550 R. P. M. drive shaft. Weight 1780 lbs. and 2200 lbs.
The Maddox Models No. 15 and No. 16 Belt Sanding Machines employ
a curved segment or rocker cushioned with felt and paper and controlled
from end to end of table by a slight movement of one lever. This rocker
working on the inside of the belt brings it gradually to the work and releases
the pressure in the same manner so that no marks are left where the cut begins
or ends. Two sizes of this machine are built to sand stock 72" and 96" Png.
Tables are 36"x78" and 40"xl01" in size and drop 25 lA" below the cutting
tangent of belt. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the drive shaft.

The Mattison No. 124 Belt Sanding Machine is built on’a self containedframe and embodies a ball bearing block which is operated by a tempered
steel ribbon or driving band which is actuated through hardened, chrome-
nickle, steel, segment gears and pinions at each end. The sliding shoe or
block travels on twelve ball bearings and like the other reciprocating parts is
of aluminum. The rate of travel and the number of strokes of the block
are controlled by one hand lever and a lever on the block serves to disconnect
the block from the driving band so that it may be used by hand to touch up
spots which require special treatment. The counter-balanced track frame
on which the block carriage travels is hinged on ball bearings making the
control very sensitive. Bearings subject to shock are bushed, in place of
being babbited. The table 40"x89" in size operates on ball bearings and is
provided with vertical adjustment of 80". Sand belt is 6" wide by 25'0"
long and travels at about 3400 F. P. M. on 20" pulleys. Drive shaft may
be operated by motor of 3 to 5 H. P. 1800 R. P. M. mounted on the pedestal

This type of belt sanding machine is used for a great variety of sanding
in chair, cabinet, furniture and other wood working shops.
It is built in a great many designs and patterns and is among the most
versatile of sanding machines. In general the principle involved contem-
plates a sanding belt which is led around idlers, fixed cushioned blocks, rollers,
etc. and over stationary platens in such a manner as to make easy the sand-
ing of practically any shape. The great feature of this type machine is its al-
most universal adjustability.
The Mattison No. 115 machine is a highly developed tool of this type
which is provided with adjustments that make it competent to sand prac-
tically any shape found in chair, cabinet or furniture work. Within the
range of this machine is the sanding of Queen Anne or Cabriole legs, flat,
oval or curved legs of any type, cross veneered, swelled or serpentine drawer
fronts, veneered posts, chair seats and backs, cross banded mouldings, mir-
ror frames and standards, closet seats and covers, moulded arms, moulding
of many shapes, etc.
This machine is built upon a heavy cored base which carries the hori-
zontal driving shaft near the floor. This shaft is fitted at one end with tight
and loose pulleys and at the other end carries the 20 "x8" sand belt driving
pulley and turns 450 R. P. M. which gives the belt a speed of about 2300
F. P. M. At one end of the base an integral pedestal rises to carry a double
ended, horizontal belt driven spindle upon which are mounted cushioned
sanding rolls up to a maximum size of 10" diameter. The standard rolls fur-
nished with the machine are cushioned and are fitted with a paper gripping
device but pneumatic rolls or drums may be used. At the opposite end of
base from the driving shaft is located a pivoted arm which carries on adjust-
able arms two idle pulleys together with a swinging counter-weighted tight-No. 172, Continued
ener roll. The sand belt which may be of any width up to a maximum of 8"
is driven over these rolls, under tension of the swinging idler, by the main
driving pulley. The rolls or idle pulleys may be located as desired and may be
of the solid, cushioned or of the pneumatic type. For work with small sharp
detail a stationary platen may be used. This platen is round or of other
shape as indicated by the detail to be sanded and is cushioned and coated
with a non-friction preparation. The belt friction on this stationary platen
is relieved to a large extent by locating one of the adjustable idlers near it.
Mounted on the main arm behind the belt is an adjustable platen 8"x26"
over which the belt may travel. This platen is used for surfacing small flat
work or it may be fitted with forms of various contours fitting shaped work.
The entire main arm assembly is pivoted on the base directly above the driv-
ing shaft and may be adjusted to bring the platen into any position from
vertical to horizontal. For sanding certain kinds of work such as oval mirror
frames, closet seats, etc. a set of small aluminum flanged rollers are fitted
in special arms. These rollers carry a fine grain, high speed belt 2" wride

Belt Sanding Machines, Vehicle Stock Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 1 “Champion" belt sanding machine is used for gen-
eral sanding of carriage, wagon and implement wood stock. This machine
is located above and below the floor and comprises a pedestal of round sec-
tion with wide flodr flange which is located on the floor and a countershaft
with rubber faced sand belt driving pulley mounted on the ceiling of the
floor below. The barrel of the pedestal is turned and finished to an approx-
imate diameter of 8' and carries two saddles which are adjustable vertically
on the turned surface and are fitted to be clamped firmly thereto. The lower
saddle carries a horizontal stud on which revolves a rubber faced pulley
24 "x6". The upper saddle carries the tables which are located on each side of
the rubber faced pulley and are vertically adjustable so that they may be
set nearly flush with the top of the pulley which projects above the table
surface an amount equal to the required cut. Tables are removable to per-
mit the use of the rubber faced pulley in the same manner as a sand drum
for sanding curved stock. The countershaft below the floor carries a 24'x
6" rubber faced sand belt driving pulley together with the tight and loose
pulleys. The belt which is 6' wide by 13'0' long travels around the two pul-
leys at 4500 F. P. M. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be bolted to the countershaft.
Floor space 24 "x36 *. Net weight 900 lbs.
The Defiance No. 0 Vertical Flexible Belt Sanding Machine is especially
designed for sanding the curved edges of vehicle, implement and other simi-
lar stock.
This machine is built on a cored pedestal which carries a planed iron
table 44 "x60" in size together with a countershaft in the base. Rising from
the center of the table is a column which carries at the top on a horizontal
shaft, mounted on a sliding sleeve, an idle pulley. This pulley is fitted with
an adjustable spring tension which forces it upward and away from the coun-
tershaft at the base of machine. The sand belt which is 4" wide runs from the
driving pulley on counter through slots in the table and around the idle pul-
ley at top of column. Small idle rolls are fitted in adjustable housings above
and below the table. In operation the parts to be sanded are laid flat on the
table and brought into contact with that portion of the belt between the small
idle rolls. By reason of the flexible tension which is maintained on the belt
it readily assumes the shape of the part being sanded. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P.
may be belted to the countershaft which turns 1300 R. P. M. Floor space
60 "x60". Net weight 1600 lbs.No. 179.

Ober Mfg. Co.	Trevor Mfg. Co.
Pringle & Brodie Mach. Co.
This type machine is used for sanding dowels, rods, poles, handles of
various kinds, and almost, any class of swelled or tapered turned work lack-
ing sharp detail. Thè stock is fed through rolls which automatically give
a slow rotation to the stock as it is fed past the sand belt or belts.
The Defiance Nò. 2 machine has range for stock to 2" diameter and of
a minimum length of 24" and is essentially a handle or long stock machine.
Capacity is sufficient to finish 1000 54" handles per hour. The machine is
built on a one-piece, cored base from which two pedestals rise. Four vertical
belts are employed, two on each side of the stock which is rotated and fed
through by the feed mechanism located on the top of each pedestal. The
belts are 5" wide and are held to the cut by idle press rolls located immediately
above and below the stock. Sand belts are driven from a ceiling counter-
shaft and run to idlers on the base so that a good length of belt is secured.
The first two belts may be used for sanding and the last two for waxing if
desired. The feed works which roti te and feed the stock past the belts and
clear of the machine are driven by incased, cut gearing. Motor of 5 to 7 y2 H. P.
may be belted to the 450 R.P.M. overhead counter. Floor space 34 "x90 '.
Net weight 2800 lbs.
The Ober machine , is designed especially for handles and has range for
stock y" to 2" in diameter and of a minimum length of 30". Two horizontal
belts each 8" wide by 12'0" long are employed. Pulleys for both belts are
mounted on one shaft which is journaled in a housing adjustable horizon-
tally on the main frame. Variation in the lengths of the two belts is cared
for by an adjustable binder. The chain and gear driven infeed and outfeed
mechanism gives the handle two complete revolutions while it is passing
each belt. Feed rates ranging from 40 to60F. P. M. are provided. Motor
of 5 to 7 Yt, H. P. may be belted to the 600 R, P. M. countershaft. Floor space

Bending Machiiies Single Arm Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance 9" Single Arm Bending Alachine is used for bending sled
runners, hames, hockey sticks, shafts, poles, etc. and has range for stock from the
smallest up to 6" thick by 9" wide and 99" long. This type of bending ma-
chine is especially adapted to bending up to a quarter circle on the end of
long stock. It is not suitable for making bends in the center of stock for which
work the double arm machines are best fitted.
This machine is built on a cast iron column 140" high which is com-
posed of two side members bolted to a base plate and fitted with horizontal
drum shaft at the base and with chain sheaves at the top. The drum shaft
is actuated by worm and gear driven by friction pulieys. The raising pulley
is 24 "x6" and turns 200 R. P. M. The backing pulley is 18 "x5", turns 400
R. P. M. and both are eon troll ad by hand lever at operator’s station.
On the front face of column near the base is a small stationary table
fitted with an end stop for the blanks to be bent. The cast iron bending form
is mounted in vertical slides above this table and is adjusted by screws and
hand wheel. The bending arm is pivoted on a lever which lever is in turn
pivoted some distance up the side of column. At the outer end of the bending
arm is a sliding head block which is forced toward the block on stationarytable by hand lever and eccentric. This bending arm may be raised from e
horizontal to a vertical position by means of the chain which is fast to its
outer end and runs over the sheaves at the top of column and down to the
drum at base. The bending arm and the stationary table are covered by a
master strap of sheet steel which extends from the stationary tail block on
the table to the sliding head block on the arm. This master strap remains
in the machine at all times.
In operation the bending arm is lowered to a level with the stationary
table and the bending strap is laid on top of the master strap. The blank
or blanks to be bent are then laid on the strap and the head block forced
against their ends thus confining them between the head and tail blocks.
The cast iron form is then set down firmly on the blanks and the outer end
of the bending arm started upward by means of the chain and geared drum.
The manner in which the bending arm is mounted permits the inner end of
same to leave the bending as is necessary for the arm to follow the blank
at the point of bending. When the bend has been completed the bending
strap is shackeled together and the finished bending and strap removed from
the machine. One form only is required but as the stock must be dried in
the strap, a strap and shackel are required for each bending made. About
3 to 5 H. P. is required. Floor space 60"xll7". Net weight 3300 lbs.

are fitted. Other machines are built on iron columns. The usual construction of
the medium and heavy types involves a splined spindle which slides through
a sleeve pulley which is mounted vertically in two bearings. For the lighter
type machine a wide-faced pulley and a spindle which slides through the
bearings is common construction. The belt in this case travels over the face
of the pulley as the spindle is fed downward. Other types comprise a spindle
which is mounted in bearings carried on a carriage which travels in vertical
ways. Pulley in this case is wide faced. A vertically adjustable table which may
or may not be of the tilting type is usually fitted. The boring spindle is brought
down to the work by a pedal and returned by a spring or weight. In some
few cases the bit spindle is stationary and the table is raised to the cut by
pedal. Machines for the heavier class of boring as in car and heavy imple-
ment work are often fitted with overhead hand lever feed.
The American Figure 976 machine is typical of the wood post machines
and is designed for light, quick, boring. This machine is built on a wood post
8"x8" and 12'0" long which carries on the rear face a vertical countershaft
with tight and loose pulleys which may be set at the proper height to drive
by quarter-twist belt from line shaft. On the front face of post are the spin-
dle yoke and table bracket. The yoke is fitted with babbitted bearings through
which the spindle slides. Length of bearings is greater than the travel of
spindle so that wear is even. At the top of spindle a bronze thrust bearing
is fitted to take the thrust of the lever which is connected with the pedal by
a vertical bar. The boring spindle hangs 9 " from face of post and has a maxi-
mum stroke of 5" controlled by suitable stops. A long coiled spring is em-

Gardner Machine Works.	B. M. Root Co.
This type machine is used in all kinds of wood working plants for general
light and medium multiple boring. The usual construction involves a cored
column with horizontal rail and driving shaft at the top. On the rail are ad-
justablly mounted plain, radial or special non-adjustable boring heads in
any required number. These heads are driven by bevel gears from the hori-
zontal shaft which is fitted with tight and loose pulleys. Two types of spin-
dles are used one of which is solid and fitted with no provision for lateral ad-
justment which is taken care of in machines employing this type spindle
by radial heads in which a second spindle and gear swing on arms mounted
concentrically with the driving gear shaft. The other type machine employs
the same bevel gear drive for the spindles but the transverse adjustment
is secured by mounting the lower end of spindle on adjustable arms and coup-
ling this section to the top driven section by means of an intermediate sec-
tion fitted with universal joint at each end which gives a considerable range
of adjustment in any direction.	' , .	...
In either the gear driven or the universal joint type machine the spindles
are not fed down to the work but the table is fed upward to the bits by pedal,
hand lever or a combination of the two or by power, feed controlled by pedal.
The Greenlee . No. 369 machine is a geared,, solid spindle tool on which
a variety of heads may be used for practically any; desired layout. This ma-
chine is built on a cored column which carries at the top the horizontal rail,
24", 36", 48" or 60" long on which the boring heads are mounted. On the
two larger sizes the top of column is forked and supports the rail at two points.
The table of cast iron with wood inserts is 14" \vide and of same length as
the rail. The table adjusts vertically through a range of 17" and has a pedal
operated or power driven stroke of 7". If the power stroke is fitted it com-
prises a pitnam and crank, pedal controlled and fitted with three rates of
feed. The standard boring heads which are used may be fitted for any re-
quired layout and are driven by steel bevel gears from the main horizontal
shaft. Range is for holes up to 1" diameter by 6 " deep. Weights 1350 lbs.
to 1850 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 312 machine is also of the solid spindle type and is
built on a cored column which carries various lengths of rails ranging from
20 " to 60 " long. On these rails plain, radial or special boring heads are mounted
as indicated by the work and are bevel gear driven from the main horizontal
shaft. Range of machine is entirely dependant on length of rail and number
and type of heads fitted. Holes may be spaced as closely as %" center to center
and by the use of radial heads which are regularly, built with 2 yi", 4" or 6"
radius to the arms they may be located out of line to the extent of the radius
of the head. Cluster heads are also built for light work which permit holes
to be bored at any point within a 6" circle, outside a, 2" space in the center.
The standard single spindles are driven by phosphor bronze bevel gears cut
from the solid and the radial and other special heads, adjustable and non-
adjustable are driven by cut steel spur gears. All spindles run in phosphor
bronze bearings with improved lubricating system Which insures a continuous
flow of oil and are fitted with ball thrust bearings, to take the bit pressure.
Spindles used in the multiple heads are fitted with independent vertical adjust-
ment to compensate for different length bits. Multiple heads and clusters
are built with capacity to drive bit up to % " diamgter which may be spaced
as closely as ^"centers. Special non-adjustable clusters and heads may
be spaced %" centers. The standard single spindles by the use of tubular
cutters which work on the trepaning principle may be used for holes up to
4" diameter. Table is operated in vertical slides by combined hand and footlevers or by a power driven disc crank and connecting rod with 8' stroke.
Motor of any speed and of power indicated by the number of spindles and
size of bits may be belted to the horizontal gear shaft which turns 800 R. P. M.
Floor space of a 20" machine 46 "x51 ".
The Root machine is of the universal joint spindle type and is built to
cover a boring area 10" wide by 36", 48", 60" or 72" long. It is built upon
a cored column with wide top rail which extends downward to carry the ad-
justing arms for lower ends of spindles. The driven ends of the spindles are
adjustable on the rail so that the universal joints need not be run in a posi-
tion of excessive angularity. The machine is built with either power or pedal
feed for the table and may be fitted with motor mounted on rear of column
and coupled to the driving shaft by silent or roller chain. The spindles are
universally adjustable over the entire boring area and are very quickly ad-
justed.

This machine is of the same design as the preceding tool so far as spin-
dles, method of drive and feed is concerned but as it is a heavier tool designed
for a greater range of work the single column is replaced by two columns
one at each end of the top rail.
The Defiance No. 10 machine is a large heavy tool of its class. It is built
on a cored one-piece base from which columns rise at each end to carry the
top rail which is built in three lengths to give a range from center to center
of outside holes of 96", 120", or 144". Minimum center distances 2y2" ex-
cept in the case of special heads which may be built to center distances of
1 iiThe standard boring heads which may be mounted to the number of
twelve on the 96" machine are composed of a yoke which carries a horizontal
shaft at right angles to the main driving shaft. This shaft is bevel gear driven
from the main shaft and in turn drives the vertical spindles by bevel gears.
This mechanism which embodies steel and bronze cut gears provides a trans-
verse adjustment of 12" for the boring spindles. The table is vertically ad-
justable and is fed upward by a cam at each end which is mounted on a gear
driven feed shaft. Cam shaft is controlled by a pedal and the table strokes
may be continuous or intermittent. Spindles are bronze bushed and are driven
from a horizontal shaft which is fitted with a three-step cone pulley. Motor
of appropriate size may be belted to this cone pulley. Floor space of 96"
machine 40"xl31". Net weight 4500 lbs.
The Greenlee No. 386 machine is built on a frame composed of solid
web end frames connected by suitable girts in lengths of 48", 60", 72", 96",
120", 144", 168", 192". The driven sections of spindles are mounted on each
side of the horizontal top rail and are driven by hardened steel bevel gears
mounted on the countershaft which extends across the machine at the top.
The lower sections of the spindles are carried on slotted arms extending hori-
zontally from the center cross rail of machine and give a maximum trans-
verse adjustment of 18". The boring spindles are composed of three parts,
the gear driven top section, the bottom section which carries the bit and
the center section which drives the bit section from the top section by means
of hardened steel universal joints. Center section is of good length to avoid
extreme angularity of the joints. Spindles are fitted^ with ball thrust bear-
ings and are built in three types, the light pattern which may be set to mini-
mum distances of 1	", the standard which may be set at 1 H" centers and
the heavy which cannot be set closer than 2" centers. Range is for stock
6' thick and to carry any ordinary size bits. Power feed to the table maybe either of two types, crank and pitnam which is used on the smaller sizes
or the geared screw feed which is best suited for the larger machines which
are often built with divided tables. In either type of feed the control is by
pedal and the strokes may be continuous or intermittent. A 48" machine
may be fitted with as many as twenty-four spindles and other sizes in pro-
portion. Weight of 120" machine with 10 spindles 6200 lbs. Other Greenlee
Double Column machines are the No. 374 and No. 371 both of which are
solid spindle gear driven tools.
The Pringle & Brodie 12 Spindle Machine is designed for small accurate
work such as electrical wood work, cabinet, furniture and similar work. The
machine is built on a frame composed of solid web end members connected
by cross rails. The top cross rail is carried at a distance approximating 60"
above the table and carries two vertical shafts driven by belts from the coun-
tershaft attached at base of machine. On the bottom end of each shaft is lo-
cated a spur gear which drives six splined sleeves mounted in fixed positions
around its circumference. Mounted in each sleeve is a short splined shaft
which carries on its lower end a hardened steel universal joint. The cross
rail of machine just above the table carries 12 vertical posts which are ver-
tically adjustable by hand wheel and are also subject to rotation in their
seats. Each post carries in a planed slot a steel arm on the outer end of which
the boring spindle is mounted in bronze bearings. These boring spindles are
driven by connecting shafts from the fixed, gear driven sleeves at the top of
machine. The connecting shafts with universal joint at each end are of a
length which renders great angularity of the joints for any setting unnecessary.
The weight of the connecting shafts is carried by ball bearings and the steel
universal joints run in a bath of oil. The upper shaft telescopes through the
gear driven sleeve to permit vertical adjustment of the boring spindle. Any
spindle not required may be cut out.
The table is in two parts and may be operated by independent pedals or
both tables may be actuated by one pedal. Tables are adjustable to any
angle from vertical to horizontal. Spindles are fitted with both male and
female threads for bits and chucks. Weight 4600 lbs.

able vertical spindles may be mounted on the horizontal top rail and gear
driven from the main shaft. Angle and end boring spindles may also be fitted.
The horizontal spindles which are made in a great variety including plain,
adjustable and cluster types are mounted on a rail which is arranged to re-
ciprocate towards the work. Vertical spindles in addition to the power feed
are fitted with independent hand lever feed for each spindle. An automatic
mechanism is used for clamping the stock to the table. Range is for stock
up to 8" square and from 72" to 192" long. Horizontal spindle rail has maxi-
mum travel of 9" and the vertical spindle rail travels 10". The power feed-
ing mechanism comprises band frictions and cut gearing which actuates the
horizontal rail through lead screws at each end. The vertical spindles are fed
by means of lever connections from the power feeding mechanism. These
connections may be readily disconnected and the spindles fed individually
by the hand levers. All spindle driving bevel gears are of hardened steel.
In operation the piece to be bored is placed on the table and the pedal which
controls the power feed is pressed. The clamps then close and secure thestock, and all the bits, both vertical and horizontal as well as the end bor-
ing bits, if any are fitted, advance and bore the hqles automatically. The
bits then retreat and the clamp opens for the insertion of the next piece. Net

The National No. 22 machine is built on a straight, cored column on
which the round or rectangular spindle casings are mounted. The cast iron,
counter-balanced table is 17"x25" in size and is fed to the bits by power or
by large pilot wheel. The gear box which operates the table feed is mounted
on side of column and gives six changes of feed by means of gears which re-
volve at moderate speed in a grease-tight casing. The shafts connected with
the feed mechanism run in bronze bushed bearings with ball thrusts to take
end pressure. Power is transmitted to the vertical feed shaft by worm and
gear and the rack feed pinion is cut integral with the shaft and hardened.
The feed rate ranges from 1" to 21" per minute. Maximum table travel is
31". The horizontal countershaft at base runs on Hyatt roller bearings and
carries a three-step cone pulley. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. 1800 R. P. M. may
be used. The boring spindles run in bronze bushings fitted with ample lu-
bricating facilities. The idle pulleys which guide the belt to pulley on ver-
tical shaft run on Hyatt roller bearings. By means of a patented mechanism
the speed of any individual spindle may be altered while the machine is run-
ning by the operation of notched plungers which show the position of the
spindle pinions. Any spindles not in use are readily thrown into neutral.No. 205, Continued.
Spindles speeds range from 285 to 2380 R. P. M. All gears are cut from the

and is fitted with hardwood gauge working in a sldt at each end and fitted
with flush inset scale and thumb nut at each end. An adjustable dog is
mounted in a slot next the saw. The No. 2 table is of the same construction
but is built with' one end of triangular form to reduce the weight without
decreasing the range. The gauge is adjustable in one “T” slot and is fitted
with inset scale and thumb nut. The No. 2 table may also be fitted with a
patent gauge which is designed to automatically make allowance for the
number of boards in a completed shook and produce a standard width regardless
of the number of joints. This gauge involves a spring plunger which makes
into a series of numbered holes in a segment and controls the position of the
gauge in accordance with the number of boards in the shook.
The Luther No. 1 machine is built on a cast iron frame in two widths,

are 30"x54", 36"x60" and 36"x72". Floor space 36" wide by twice the
length of carriage. This machine is driven from below by countershaft or
motor of 5 H. P. Weight 700 lbs.
The Luther No. 2 machine is of the same general design and construction
as the No. 1 except that it is fitted to be belted from any direction. The
design embodying as it does cast side frames connected by round steel girts,
makes it easy to build any special sizes required. Average weight 550 lbs.
The Luther Matching Gauge which may be applied to any of these
machines is designed for making allowance for the varying number of boards
in a shook and producing standard widths. This device consists of two wooden
bars connected by links after the manner of a parallel rule. One of these bars
is adjustably mounted on the carriage and the other whose position is con-
trolled by a lever operated pinion and rack is the gauge proper. The pinion
lever is fitted with plunger which works in holes in a cast segment and
establishes the position of the gauge bar by quarter inches. Scales are inset
in the carriage for setting the fixed member of this or other gauges.No. 224.

Box Cut-Off Saws, Automatic.
Builders:
Mereen-Johnson Machine Co.
The Mereen-Johnson No. 477 machine is designed for the rapid cutting
off of box and other similar stock. A layout for the use of this machine in
connection with two rip saws is suggested by the builders. This layout
involves an inclined belt conveyor about seventeen feet long and of a width
to handle the stock transversely. On each side of this conveyor is located a
hand feed rip saw, one right and and the other left. The rip saw on the left
of belt is located so that the rear edge of table is about nine feet from the
gauge line of the No. 477 cut-off saw and the rip saw on the right of belt is
so located that the rear edge of the table is in line with the front edge of the
left hand rip saw. The operators of both the rip saws face the cut-off saw
operator. In using this layout the stock as fast as cut to length drops upon
the low end of the conveyor belt and is conveyed to the two ripping stations
where it is presented on a level with the saw tables. A receiving table at the
end of belt takes care of any surplus stock passing the rip sawyers.
The No. 477 cut-off saw is built on a cast frame of box type which
incloses the entire mechanism of the machine. Two saw arbors are employed
and are mounted on a revolving housing which is driven by suitable gearing
and fitted with five feed changes ranging from 15 to 60 cuts per minute.
The saws travel alternately through the cutting zone. Saw arbors and drive
shaft are mounted on high grade ball bearings and the saws are completely
covered by a cast iron casing with exhaust connection. Gauge is fitted with
multiple gauges which are operated by a lever at operator’s station. May
be driven by a direct connected motor of 5 to 7 H H. P. or by belt.

actuated rock shaft controlled by a hand lever. This shaft extends the length
of the machine and carries two arms which are fitted at the top end with
clamping jaws in which the stock to be cut is mounted. In operation the
jaws are filled with stock and the hand lever operated, which causes the rock
shaft to make a partial revolution. This partial revolution automatically
clamps the stock, passes it between the saws, returns it to starting station
and releases the clamping jaws, all without attention from the operator who
is engaged in preparing the next charge of stock. The range is for stock 6"
to 41" long and approximately 10" of stock may be clamped in the jaws.

Box Hand Hole Cutting and Partition Grooving Machines,
Combined, Automatic.
Builders:
Fischer Machine Works.
The Fischer No. 41 machine cuts the hand hole in box ends, rounds both
sides of same and at the same operation cuts the grooves on the inside of
the ends to receive the partition strips. The hand hole is cut in a straight
line by two routing bits working from each side and the grooves may startat the edge of board and stop at any point or they may start and stop within
the width of the board and of course, may be cut through from edge to edge.
The machine is built on a frame of modern design composed of heavy
side members connected by cross girts bolted into planed seats. The 111"
arbor located above the table carries five 8" solid plate, spurred, grooving
cutters mounted in adjustable, splined collars. The vertical position of this
arbor is regulated by an adjustable cam synchronized with the feed chains.
It is driven by a 4" belt which is fitted with tightener pulley and also drives
the two sub-shafts from which the vertical hand hole routing spindles are
driven by quarter-turn belts. The vertical spindles which cut and round the
hand hole are mounted in heavy, vertically sliding, cam actuated yokes and
are driven by 2" belts with adjustable tension. The routing bits make into
%" threaded holes in the ends of the 1 is" spindles and are inclosed by cast
iron hoods with exhaust connection.
In operation the stock is taken from the hopper and fed under the groov-
ing saws by incased, gear driven, hardened steel, roller type chains. After
passing the grooving saws on the chains the stock is placed in position in
the automatic clamps at the routing station by pusher fingers. The pusher
feed is employed for the reason that the stock can be placed more promptly
and thus the bits are allowed more time to complete the hand hole. All the
shafts and arbors are fitted with self-oiling bearings of the wick type. The
machine is fully automatic and the output of plain or cleated ends is 24
pieces per minute. The range is for plain ends 7 y" to 24" long and for
cleated ends 10>£" to 24". Either kind of end may be worked in widths
ranging from 4" to 15". The hand holes may be of any length up to 4" and
may be spaced 13A" to 0y2" from the edge. Minimum spacing of grooves
is 2" edge to edge and the maximum depth is A." Motor of 5 to 7 3^ H. P.
may be connected to the 810 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor space 60"x84".

St. Paul Machinery Mfg. Co.
This type machine is used for plowing hand grooves in box ends. The
groove extends only part way through the end and while this is a cheaper
operation than routing the hand holes the result is not so good. This machine
is also used for cutting the recess for the reception of the Government
inspection labels which are pasted on. The standard recess is 3 3^"x5"x&"
deep and is designed to protect the label.
The Fischer No. 39 machine is built on a cast iron frame with cast iron
table which carries at one end a feed hopper and is fitted with parallel,
simultaneously adjustable guides extending from end to end. The 12"xii"
grooving saw is mounted on an arbor journaled horizontally in the approxi-
mate center of a swing frame, which extends across the table, and is pivoted
on a shaft at the rear edge of table. This swinging frame is operated on its
horizontal pivoting shaft by a connecting rod from a gear operated crank
shaft beneath the table. This connecting rod is made onto the outer end of
frame and the crank motion is synchronized with the pusher fingers which
feed the stock from the hopper so that the saw descends and cuts the groove
and is elevated out of the way for the next piece to be located. The pusher
fingers are fitted with adjustment to locate the stock under the saw laterally and
the longitudinal guides are set to center it lengthwise. The arbor is belted over
idle pulleys from the countershaft mounted in base of machine. A competent
hood covers the saw and all the bearings are self-oiling. Owing to the fact that
the feed motion is in a direction parallel with the saw arbor and the sawdrops into and out of the cut without moving longitudinally therein this
machine can not be used for cutting label recesses. Motor of 5 to 7 y H. P.
may be belted to the 700 R. P. M. attached countershaft. Floor space
46"x70". Weight 1750 lbs. Range is to handle stock, either cleated or plain
from 4" to 18" long and 6" to 24" wide. Maximum distance edge of board
to groove 4 y". Capacity 50 pieces per minute.

saw arbor. In operation the feed is continuous and the cam motion which
is synchronized with the lugs on the feed chains lowers the saw into the cut
and raises it out of the cut when the stock has traveled a sufficient distance
to cut a groove of the required length. Range is for ends composed of one or
several pieces up to a maximum size of 18" long by 20" wide. By a change
of cam and removal of alternate feed lugs stock up to 30" long may be cut.

This series of machines is built on very competent frames comprising
heavy, one-piece side frames connected by girts bolted to machined seats.
The lower girts are cast in one piece with integral bearings and carry the
gearing and principal working parts in very exact relation to each other.
The entire top of the cast iron table is machined and the machine as a whole
is extra well finished. The cast iron squeezer bar which weighs 190 lbs. is
fitted with fingers which extend between the pressure bars. This bar is
mounted upon and actuated by a steel shaft 211" in diameter which extends
across the top of machine. Eight heavy pressure bars are fitted to hold
warped and crooked stock firmly to the planed surface of the bed. The feed
plate is driven by cone pulleys which give 16 or 26 strokes per minute.
In operation the stock is piled on the table which is about 4 " higher than
the bottom of the hopper. When the stock in hopper falls below the level
of table the pile of stock is pushed forward into the hopper. The bottom layer
of stock in the hopper is fed out by reciprocating plungers which deliver it
under the pressure bars where it is pressed together by the squeezer bar.
A row of spring tensioned fingers just in advance of the initial pressure bar
cause the stock to be butted up evenly by the plunger and hold it in place
until pressure is applied. Stock which has been accurately cut will require
no trimming after being pressed on these machines. To secure the full output
of the machine, which is ample to handle the stock coming from two to three
matchers, two operators are needed.

Box Shook Pressing, Sizing and Trimming Machine,
Automatic, Combined.
Builders:
Gale Box Machinery Co.
The Gale machine is a large heavy automatic machine which presses

above functions are fully automatic. Range is for shooks up to a maximum
of 60"x72". Weight 6000 lbs.No. 263.
Box Shook Planing, Jointing, Gluing, Pressing, Trimming
and Sizing Machine, Automatic, Combined.
Builders:
Bolinders Co.
This machine is not an American product, being built in Stockholm,
Sweden. It is sold through New York Sales Office.
The machine combines the operations of double surfacing, matching
or edge jointing, gluing, pressing, trimming and sizing in one fully automatic
tool. The process contemplates the building up of a continuous ribbon of board
from the narrow stock. This ribbon is trimmed to length and is ripped off
into shooks of the desired width as a last operation. This process entirely
eliminates the edging waste.
The design of the machine which is entirely of iron and steel, involves
a hopper feed, double cylinder planer, dovetailing side cutter heads, glue
spreaders, side shifting and assembling mechanism, double end trimming
saws, rip saw and delivery apparatus. All the functions of the machine after
the stock is delivered into the hopper are fully automatic including the
delivery of the finished shook.
In operation the stock is first rough cut to single or preferably to double
lengths and the edges, if rough, are straightened and edged. The boards
are then sorted for width and placed in the hopper. From the hopper the
stock is drawn by the feed mechanism and fed to the planing heads where
the bottom cut is made, first followed by the top cut. The dressed boards then
pass to the dovetailing side heads which are four in number, two on each
edge of the board. These heads set at the required angle to make the under
cut and are fully adjustable while running. The glue spreaders are located
just in the rear of the side heads and the boards, after being glued, are shifted
to one side and the dovetails slid together endwise. The ribbon of board
thus formed advances on feed chains, running at right angles to the planer
feed, to the trimming saws. The overhead trim saw arbor may be fitted with
two or three saws, the third saw being used to center cut double length stock.
The last operation is performed by a traveling rip saw which traverses the
width of the ribbon and rips off a shook of the proper width. The finished
shook then leaves the machine on carrier chains. The machine is fully
adjustable for different widths, lengths and thicknesses of stock and all
operations are carried on continuously. All cutter head arbors run in
standard, double row ball bearings. Various rates of feed ranging from 54
to 88 F. P. M. are provided. The total horse power required averages about
20. This is a thoroughly well built tool capable of an immense output.

The Boston machines are built in six sizes and are of the platen type.
Single and multi-color models are built. The smallest chase is 7"xll" and
the maximum size board printed on this press is 10"xl4". The largest press
carries chase 13'/x21'/ and prints to a maximum size of 16"x34". From 1800
to 3000 impressions per hour are made on stock up to 3" in thickness.
Narrow stock of any length may be printed. This company also built
machines for printing boxes after they are assembled in sizes ranging from
1" square up to 34"xl5"x24".
The Hooper Co. build box board printers exclusively and their line is
very comprehensive, embracing one, two and three-color cylinder machines
in both the chain and the knocker feed types.
The parts for the Hooper machines are produced in large lots to very
accurate gauges and templates and the machines are assembled from inter-
changeable stock parts on the same system used in assembling automobiles.
The frames are composed of heavy cast side members connected at both
ends, top and bottom by cast girts bolted and doweled to machined seats.
The cylinders are of cast iron mounted on heavy steel shafts and specially
tested for concentricity. Cylinders are provided with rotary adjustment on
the shaft for centering the impression on the stock and a graduated dial
indicates the position. All main bearings are fitted with pressed-in phosphor
bronze bushings which are line reamed. All gears are four-pitch, 2" face and
are accurately cut from solid steel or cast iron blanks. A clamping device
is provided to eliminate back lash. Feed chains are of a special rocker joint
silent type and are made from heat treated alloy steel. The driving clutch
is extra large and of the multiple disc type with clutch pulley mounted in
Hyatt roller bearings. This clutch acts as a safety member and in case of a
jam will slip and save breakage of the machine. The feed bars are of spring
steel with machined faces and are very accurately spaced on the chains.
Continuous side guides of spring steel are a part of the hopper and extend
completely through the machine at right angles to the cylinders, thus insur-
ing accurate printing. The ink fountains are conveniently located and are
readily adjustable. Vibrator rollers of seamless brass tubing cut up the ink
for the composition feeding rollers, which are mounted in lumen bronze
bearings. The hopper end gate is of cast iron with steel tongue or slide and
the surface in contact with the stock is machined and fitted to slope back-
ward to avoid danger of stock catching against it. The springs, two of which
are used on each printing cylinder to enable the cylinder to adjust itself
to slightly varying stock, are of heavy, square, specially treated spring steel.
The tension is adjustable and is not changed by adjustments of the printing
cylinders. The printing cylinders, ink distributing system, hopper gate, etc.,
are adjustable as a unit for different thickness of stock by two self-locking
screws operated by one handwheel. The cylinders are fitted with scribed
lines for convenience in setting dies. The hopper sides, together with the
attached side guides, are adjusted by screws operated by a single handle.
The knocker feed is best suited to feeding veneers and other extremely thin
stock. This feed is contained entirely within the side guides which are thus
permitted to lay flat on the bed and impression roller so as to control the
thinnest stock. The knocker feed involves a reciprocating finger or pusher
which delivers the bottom board from the hopper to the printing and im-
pression cylinders. On the two-color machines of knocker feed type the stock
is carried between the cylinders by self-adjusting gear driven rolls. This type
feed is adapted to feeding single pieces or cleated stock only, the chain feed
being employed for feeding stock consisting of several loose pieces in one
shook. The chain feed is used on stock of ordinary thickness and involves a

Morgan Machine Co.
This type of locking machine is used where the output does not warrant
the installation of the automatic type. It is also used on some small work
below the range of the large machines and for odd lots. This machine cuts
one end at a time and the usual construction involves a cored pedestal which
carries a horizontal belt driven cutter head arbor at the top. A carriage with
open bottom is fitted to slide in horizontal gibbed ways over the gang of two-
point cutters which are mounted on the arbor. In front of the arbor and
below the carriage is located a vertically adjustable table on which the stock
rests while being clamped in the carriage. The height of this table governs
the depth of cut made by the cutters which are mounted on the arbor between
spacing collars with the teeth forming a spiral cut. The carriage is usually
fitted with hand lever or rack and pinion mechanism for forcing it over the
cutters.
The Fay-Egan No. 439 machine is built on a cored pedestal and has range
for stock up to 14" wide which is clamped in the carriage in bunches several
inches thick. Large handwheel and rack and pinion are used to operate the
carriage. The saws are 5" in diameter. Floor space 48 "x54". Motor of 7 H
to 15 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor pulley.
The Smith No. 538-A machine is built on a wood frame and carries a
hinged, cast iron table which is adjusted by screw at the front to regulate
the cut. The carriage is pushed over the cutters, which are 8" in diameter,
by hand. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor. Floor space
36"x45". Weight 500 lbs.
The Jones-Superior machine is built in three sizes, No. 173, No. 174
and No. 175, to take stock 12", 15" and 18" wide. This machine is built onan iron frame and takes cutters 6 34" in diameter. Carriage is pushed over the
cutters by hand. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct to cutter head
arbor. Floor space 24 "x41". Weight 850 lbs.
The Pentwater machine is built on a cored pedestal and is fitted with
a roller bearing carriage which is operated by a lever and gear mechanism
having a power ratio of 2:1. The saws are 6" in diameter and range is for
stock to 12" wide. Floor space less countershaft 22"x24". Motor of 5 to 7 34
H. P. may be belted direct to arbor pulley.
The Morgan machine which is designed especially for camera work differs
from the standard construction in the fact that the carriage is traversed ver-
tically in gibbed ways on the face of the cored pedestal by a powerful, counter-
balanced, hand lever motion. The cutting is done on the downward stroke.
Range is for stock up to 16" wide. Floor space 42"x45". Motor of 5 to 7 34

The usual construction of this type locker embodies two vertical, adjust-
able cutter head arbors which are served by a power operated carriage in
which the stock is clamped and fed between the spindles cutting both ends
at one pass. The Luster-Jordan and the Chase-Turbine No. 300 machine
as will be noted differ from this construction.
The Chase-Turbine No. 302 machine is built on a cast frame of the
bolted-up type and embodies two vertical cutter spindles driven from a floor
countershaft. The cutters are very completely cased in and the casings are
fitted with exhaust connections. A power driven carriage with competent
gauging and clamping devices carries the stock between the cutters. Motor

The Chase-Turbine No. 300 machine is similar to the No. 302 except
that it is fitted with a continuous, chain feeding mechanism in place of the
carriage. The countershaft is mounted on the machine frame above the
vertical spindles which are driven by belts running over idle pulleys. Built
in three sizes to take stock 12", 14" or 16" wide. Capacity up to 28,000 boxes
per day. Motor 15 to 25 H. P. may be belted to the attached countershaft.
Weight 5000 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 413 machine is built on a frame composed of solid
web end frames connected by heavy girts. This frame carries the two vertical
cutter spindles which are fitted with top bearings mounted on a slotted bridge.
The carriage is provided with a hand operated clamp and is traversed between
the heads by a power driven, pedal controlled mechanism fitted with three
speeds. The machine is driven by belts from a detached floor countershaft
to which a motor of 20 to 30 H. P., 900 R. P. M., may be coupled. Range
is for stock 2" to 30" long and up to 24" wide. Carriage opens to clamp 14"
of stock. Floor space 102"xll4".
The Luster-Jordan machines of this type are built in two sizes, one for
very small boxes and the other for work of medium size. Both machines
embody horizontal cutter head arbors, driven by direct coupled, high speed
motors and are of the hopper feed type.
The Morgan No. 8 machine is built on a heavy cast frame with an exten-
sion at the end which carries the countershaft. The vertical cutter head
spindles are mounted in top and bottom bearings and are carried in heavy
housings which adjust, by a single handwheel and screw, on the horizontal
ways of the bed. Both spindles are driven by one 6" belt to pulleys on their
lower ends. This belt is fitted with an automatic device which tensions the
belt while the cut is being made and slacks off when the cutters are idle.
Cutters are of the Morgan patent frictionless type and cut very freely. The
carriage is operated by a pedal controlled power mechanism, has capacity
for 12 to 60 pieces of stock at one clamping and is fitted with a stock lifting
device for handling heavy bundles of stock. The machine is very thoroughly
constructed and operates very rapidly. The output is limited only by the
operator's ability to handle the stock. The time consumed by a round trip
of the carriage is eleven seconds. Range is for stock 7" to 37" long and up
to 18" wide. Motor of 20 H. P. may be belted or coupled to the 666 R. P. M.

drives the spindles at 2000 R. P. M. Floor space 48"x96". Weight 3700 lbs.No. 269.
Box Lock Cornering Machines, Double End, Continuous,
Hopper Feed, Motor Driven.
Builders:
Luster-Jordan Co.
The Luster-Jordan Type “H” locking machine is a very highly developed,
fully automatic, direct motor driven tool which produces an immense output
of very accurate work. The operator has only to keep the hopper filled and
the accuracy of the work is in no way dependent on his placing or gauging
of the stock but is insured by positive mechanical means.
This machine, which is built on a competent cast frame, involves two
horizontal arbors which carry the cutters and are located, one on each side
of the feeding mechanism. These arbors are each driven by a high speed
motor coupled direct to end of arbor. The stock to be locked is piled in the hop-
per by hand. Continuous feed chains passing under the hopper withdraw the
stock in bunches of an approximate thickness of 4" and deposit it in the jaws of
the gripper. Gauge rails rise into position behind the unit of boards while it
is still loose and a series of fingers press the stock sidewise against the gauge
rails, insuring accurate alignment of one edge of the unit regardless of varia-
tion in widths. The right hand end gauge is fixed except that it is adjustable
for different lengths of locks. The left hand end gauge is held open for the
reception of the stock and when same is located, this gauge is released and
strikes a hammer-like blow on the end of the unit, aligning the boards
accurately endwise. When the individual boards composing the unit have
thus been accurately located the gripper jaws close, clamp the unit, and
carrying it downward through the saws on the horizontal motor driven
arbors. A hard fiber plate on the top gripper jaw prevents splintering of the
last board. The boards do not return through the saws but are released at
the bottom of the stroke and discharged upon a conveyor which delivers them
at the rear of machine. This cycle of operations is continuous, the complete
cycle requiring approximately five seconds. All adjustments for different
size boxes are made by power and graduated scales are fitted to insure
accuracy. Range is for stock 4^" to 32" long, 2 3^" to 16" wide and from
\i" to 1" in thickness. The spindle motors range from 10 to 20 H. P. accord-
ing to the service expected and the independent feed motor is of 5 H. P.
Floor space 120"xl20". Weight 9000 lbs. This machine is also built in belt
driven type. Capacity 4000 to 12,000 boxes per day.

Box Lock Cornering Machines, Dovetail Type.
Builders:
Alexander Dodds Co.
St. Paul Machinery Mfg. Co.
Wysong & Miles Co.
The Dodds machines for this work follow closely the design of the furni-
ture dovetailers built by that company. They embody cast iron frames,
lever operated carriages and gangs of vertical, spiral gear, driven cutter
spindles.
The Wysong & Miles No. 211 machine is primarily a furniture machine
but is used to some extent on box dovetailing. The machine is built on a
modernly designed cast frame. The principle involved contemplates a series
of grooving saws which work in connection with a gang of high speed bits
and a set of trimming cutters. The grooving saws remove about 75 per cent,
of the wood and the dovetail is completed by the bits and trimming cutters.
The stock carriage operates in vertical ways on the front face of frame andNo. 270, Continued
is actuated by an automatic, power driven mechanism. The carriage clamp
is also automatic and opens for stock 4" thick and up to 11" wide. The
grooving saws are ground by the use of a special grinding attachment without
removal from the arbor. Motor of 7 3^ H. P. may be belted to countershaft.
Floor space 50"x75". Weight 2600 lbs.
The St. Paul machine is designed and used solely for box work and is
in no sense a furniture machine. It is built on a competent cast iron frame
and embodies two distinct and independent working ends, one fcr the sides
and the other for the ends of the box. These two ends of the machine may
be operated simultaneously or separately as desired.
On the end of the machine used for sides are located two arbors which
are set in the same vertical plane and parallel with the end of the stock.
These arbors are not set level however, the lower one being low on the pulley
end and the upper one being high cn the pulley end. In other words the ends
of the two arbors would meet if they extended far enough from the pulleys.
The table on this end of the machine is stationary and the saws_ are auto-
matically traversed past it, cutting the bevel pins on the two box sides which
are mounted on the table. The sides are then reversed and the other end
is cut on the return trip of the saws. Twenty-eight saws of equal size are
fitted to each arbor. Both arbors are mounted in a power actuated, pedal
controlled housing.
On the other end of the machine which cuts the ends of the box there
are also two arbors, but the process is reversed, the arbors being stationary
and the table being traversed past them. These two arbors, unlike those
at the other end of machine are set level but they are at an angle from square
as regards the stock to be cut. Opposite ends of these arbors are farther from
the stock so that the axis of one arbor, at the center of the gang of saws,
crosses the axis of the other arbor. Each of these arbors is fitted with a gang
of 29 saws. Each saw of each set is slightly smaller than its neighbor so that
taking into account the angular position of the arbor, as regards the square
end of stock all the saws will cut to an equal depth. In other words, the saws
form a cone and owing to the location of the arbor one side of this cone is
parallel with the end of the stock. On this end of the machine two boards
are mounted on the table, which is fitted with a pedal controlled, power
driven stroke, and traversed past the saws, cutting one end on the upward
stroke and the other end on the reverse stroke.
The arbors are all speeded at 4000 R. P. M. and due to the peculiar
location of the arbors and layout of the saws the cut is made at an angle and
with only a few sawrs in the cut at one time. The machines are regularly
fitted to produce dovetails with a seven degree angle and with this setting
any thickness of end may be cut, but the thickness of the side is limited to
%". The saws are not swaged but are slightly hollow ground and as they do
not return through the cut they are not quickly dulled. They are not
removed from the arbors for sharpening. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P. is required.

This type machine is used for pressing up lock corner boxes.
The Chase No. 217 machine is designed for very light work and embodies
a four-jaw, pedal or power operated press which is carried at the top of a
steel post mounted in a floor flange. Weight 350 lbs.
The Luster-Jordan machine is designed for very small boxes and embodies
an iron table fitted with four power operated jaws. The driving motor is
mounted in base of machine.
The Chase No. 215 machine is a four-jaw, iron frame, power driven
machine with capacity for pressing 30 to 50 boxes per minute and range for
sizes from l"xl" up to 20"x26". Weight 1100 lbs.
The Morgan machine is built in two sizes. The smaller machine has
capacity to press 400 to 600 boxes per hour and range for sizes from 4"x7"
up to 18"x25" and 13" deep. This machine takes floor space 48"x60" and
weighs 2600 lbs. The larger machine has capacity to press 350 to 500 boxes
per hour and range for sizes from 8"xl0" up to 23"x36" and 18" deep. This
machine takes floor space 60"x84" and weighs 4000 lbs. Motor of 2 H. P.
may be belted direct to the 15 "x4" driving pulley of either machine.
The design of these Morgan machines which is identical except as regards
size, comprises a heavy, cored base which carries jaws which close simul-
taneously on all four corners of the box. In operation the sides and ends of
the box are placed in the machine, without entering the corners, resting on their
edges in the same position they occupy in the carriage of the locker and resting
on the same points. Pressure on the pedal then trips the machine and the
jaws advance and press the box together and return to the open position.
As the jaws on the outside advance a set of inside adjusting braces are
automatically brought into position to hold the boards from the inside and
prevent breakage. The fact that the stock is located in this machine on the
same spotting points as used in the locker insures that the corner joints enter
properly and avoids breakage.

Box Pressing Machines, Hopper Feed, Automatic.
Builders:
Luster-Jordan Co.
These machines are used for automatically assembling, gluing and
pressing up lock corner boxes, taking the sides and ends from hoppers and
delivering the finished box frame upon a conveyor belt at the rate of 600 to
2000 boxes per hour. The machine is built in three sizes, any of which may
be fitted with direct motor drive. A bottom inserting attachment comprising
an independent hopper and mechanism for automatically inserting the bottoms
of battery or other boxes of similar construction is applicable for either of the
two smaller machines.
The type “A” machine is designed for small, light boxes and has capacity
for 1000 to 2000 boxes per hour. Range is for sizes from 4"x4"x2" up to
24"xl5"x8" inside measurement. Stock from A" to ys" in thickness may
be handled. Weight 5600 lbs. Motor 5 H. P. Floor space 96"xl20".
The type “C” machine is designed for the general run of boxes and has
capacity for 800 to 1200 boxes per hour. Range is for sizes from 4"x4"x3"up to 25 "xl8 "xl2 ". Stock from A" to J4" thick may be handled. Weight
7500 lbs. Motor 5 H. P. Floor space 102"xl32".
The type “D” machine is designed for use on typewriter, ammunition
and other heavy boxes and is designed with special reference to handling
low grade, poor quality lumber. This machine has capacity for 600 to 1200
boxes per hour and a range for sizes from 7"x7"x4'/ up to 32"x25"xl6". Stock
from A" to 1" thick may be handled. Weight 9000 lbs. Motor 5 H. P. Floor
space 108"xl32".
The general construction of these machines comprises a heavy cast base
with square top on the four sides of which the four hoppers are fitted with
the squeezing mechanism in the center and the conveyor belt for the removal
of the finished product running out the bottom. In operation two of the
hoppers are filled with ends and two with sides and the parts are drawn from
the bottom of hoppers by continuous feed chains which carry the boards
toward the center of the machine, turn them into a vertical position and drop
them into the squeezing chamber with their lower edges resting on fixed
gauges. During the travel of the stock from the hopper to the squeezing
station the glue is automatically spread on the inside faces of the tenons,
leaving the outer surface of the box free from glue. When mounted in the
squeezing chamber the stock is centered, squared and flattened out by
positive mechanical means and is squeezed together by a simultaneous forward
movement, from all four directions, of the pressing jaws. The finished frame
is then dropped through the machine to the conveyor belt which carries it
direct to the trimmer without further handling. The system of squeezing
simultaneously from all four directions gives an oblique, sliding motion to
the locking of the corners which practically eliminates breakage.

Box Pressing Machines, Dovetail Type.
Builders:
St. Paul Machinery Mfg. Co.
The St. Paul machine is med for pressing up the dovetailed box joints cut
on the special locking machines built by the same company. It is a heavy,
well built tool, power driven and controlled by hand levers. The machine
is not of the automatic type and the stock is placed in the machine singly
and the product removed manually.
This machine is built on a cast frame and is driven in either direction
by an open and a crossed belt. The clamping jaws operating on heavy beams
at the top of frame are so arranged that the box side to be assembled is gripped
by three clamps, one near each end and one in the center. This method of
gripping is very effectual in straightening warped stock. The grooves in the
box ends are pressed over the pins in the sides of box while the latter is
stationary. The end pressing jaws are fitted with steel templates, which
register with the grooves in the box ends and come directly behind the pin
which is left standing when the grooves are cut, supporting same while it
is being squeezed over the pins on the box sides. The breakage on this machine
is reduced to a very low point. Motor required 5 H. P. Floor space 72"x84".

Builders:
Connell & Dengler Machine Co.
Morgan Machine Co.
This type machine is used for trimming the corners of lock corner boxes
which are usually made with the pins on each corner projecting _ slightly
above the surface of the side or end. When the glue has set this projection is
trimmed off giving a neatly finished corner.
The Connell & Dengler machine is built on a cored pedestal with hori-
zontal cutter head at the top. The table on which the box is laid and shoved
by hand over the cutter head is so mounted that the box passes the cutter
head diagonally and a table movement of 2" trims the corner smoothly. Motor
of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor pulley which should make
3500 to 4000 R. P. M.
The Morgan machine is built on a cored pedestal which carries at each
side a cutter head spindle mounted at an angle of 45 degrees and driven from
a detached floor countershaft. The cutters carried on the top ends of these
spindles project into a “V” shaped trough which is mounted horizontally
on the pedestal top. The box to be trimmed is pushed by hand through thi3
trough, supported by a suitable rest and at one passage is smoothly trimmed
on both sides of one corner. The cutters, which are of special type, work
equally well on hard or on freshly glued corners and may be run for at least
ten hours without sharpening and with no tearing or slivering. This machine
may also be used for dressing the ends and edges of cavers and bottoms for
any type box. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted to countershaft. Floor space

Builders:
St. Paul Machinery Mfg. Co.
This machine is used for the same operation as the preceding machine.
It is a power feeding, four saw machine, which trims two corners of the box
at one passage through the machine, completing the box in two strokes.
The machine is built on a competent cast iron frame which carries, in
the center of top, guide rails and a power driven, pedal controlled feed
mechanism fitted with quick return. At the side of each guide rail are located
a vertical and a horizontal arbor, the former fitted with 8" and the latter
with 9 " saws. To allow for variation in the size of boxes the left hand horizontal
arbor has a lateral, pivoted motion of y2" which is controlled by weight and
carries with it the guide rail. The four arbors are belt driven from a detached
floor countershaft running 700 R. P. M. to which motor of 7 y to 10 H. P.
may be belted. In operation the box is placed on the carriage and the pedal
pressed, this carries the box over the four saws and returns it to operator
with a quick return motion. Box is then reversed and operation repeated
on the other end. The capacity is 400 to 600 boxes per hour and range is for
boxes 6" to 24" wide inside and of any length. Floor space including counter-
shaft 72"x95". Weight 2250 lbs.No. 276.

Builders:
Luster-Jordan Co.
This machine is used for trimming all four corners of the box at one
passage through the machine and has range for boxes from 6 "x4 "x3" up to
40"x30"xl6". The capacity is 2000 boxes per hour and the principle involved,
that of a high saw speed and a slow feed rate, produces very smooth work.
The machine is built on a large iron frame on the lower part of which
are located guide rails and feed chains together with two vertical and two
horizontal arbcrs. Mounted on vertical guides extending upward from each
corner of the frame is a large, vertically adjustable, frame, fitted with power
hoist, which carries a sub-counter shaft, guide rails, two vertical and two
horizontal arbors similar to those at the bottom. The vertical members at
each corner extend upward from the floor and carry the lower stationary frame
as well as the upper adjustable one and are connected at the tap, making a
very rigid, well designed frame. The arbors are fitted with an automatic
compensating motion for the saws so that the contour of warped or crooked
stock is followed and perfect work produced. In operation the box is mounted
on the slowly moving feed chains which carry lugs every 16" and is fed through
the four saws on the horizontal and the four saws on the vertical arbors which
fit all corners smoothly and accurately. While passing through the machine
the box is squared and held firmly by the four guide rails, one on each corner.
Floor space 74"xl20'/. Motor of 15 H. P. may be belted or coupled to the

Box Nailing Machines.
Builders:
Wm. S. Doig, Inc.
L. F. Grammes & Sons.
Morgan Machine Co.
This type machine is built in a large range of sizes and types and is used
for driving from one to any required number of nails automatically at one
stroke. Power nailing machines are used to a large extent on box work, in
fact very few boxes are nailed by hand, the covers even being nailed on the
filled boxes by machine. The use of these machines is not confined to box
work but is general in all classes of wood work where nailing is required.
The Morgan Nailing Machines are built in a large number of sizes and
patterns to handle nails from No. 19 up to the largest nail required. The
line embraces machines of all sizes from the No. 1 which drives one small
nail and is used for cheese box work up to the 72" Open Back Machine which
drives from 25 to 30 or more large nails at each stroke and is used in heavy
box work. Machines are built with open or closed back and with double or
single side arms. Single side arms permit driving the nails on a layout cover-
ing one side and one end of a rectangle or square. Double side arms permit
of covering one side and two ends. A clinching attachment which involves
a hardened steel, cam actuated bar, synchronized with the nailing mechanism
may be fitted to most of the Morgan line. This steel bar is normally flush
with the table surface and is so timed that as the nail punches reach the bottom
of their stroke and the nail points prick through the stock, the bar rises and
reaches the apex of its stroke while the nail punches are holding the nail heads
flush with the top surface. Machines are built with double or single row chuck
bars which may be laterally adjustable or stationary. For certain classes
of work especially where long slender nails are to be driven the chuck bars
which carry the entire series of chucks are connected to the cross head so that
when the stock is in position and the machine tripped the chucks descend
and rest on the wood, thus supporting and guiding the nails at the surface.
The general design of the Morgan machines conforms to modern practice
and embodies well designed columns of heavy section and broad floor base.
The countershaft with accurately cut gearing, extra well designed and trouble
proof clutch, operating pedal, etc., is mounted in the base. Motors from
y2 to 5 H. P. may be direct geared to the main shafts of all Morgan machines.
The table, with a wade range of vertical adjustment, is mounted in gibbed
ways on the front face of column. Cross head is operated in vertical ways
above the table by connecting rod from the crank on main clutch shaft and
is controlled by the pedal. The nail punches which are straight steel rods
with button heads and tapered, hardened points are mounted in this cross
head. Pivoted at the top of column are the nail pans or pan which are given
a slow up and down rocking motion by connecting rod from sub-crank shaft
in the base. This motion of the nail pans is continuous and is not dependent
on the main crank shaft. The bottom of the nail pans is fitted with a series
of simultaneously adjustable slots which are set to allow the shank of the
nail to pass but stop the head. The rocking motion of the pans fills these
slots with nails hanging in rows, point down. The pivoting point of the nail
pans coincides wath the ends of inclined nail tracks mounted on the top of
column and simultaneously adjustable by screw and handwheel. The nails
hanging in the slots of the nail pans flow at each upward stroke of the pans
into these tracks. The tracks are set at such an angle from the horizontal
as to cause the nails to feed by gravity to the bottom end of the tracks where
they are stopped by the picker discs which are located at the bottom of each
track. The picker discs are mounted on worm gear driving hubs and are driven
by pointed pins in such manner as to permit the disc in case of obstruction
to slip around one pin on the driving hub and resume its position without
loss of synchronism. The picker discs are fitted with either four or six equally
spaced notches in their circumference which are of a size to fit the shank ofNo. 278, Continued
the nail being driven. These notched discs are driven by worms which are
synchronized with the strokes of the cross head in such way that at each
stroke of the machine the disc rotates through 90 degrees, or in the case of
the six notch disc through 60 degrees and stops with one of the notches regis-
tering with the mouth of nail tracks. When so registered one nail slides by
gravity from the tracks into the notch in the disc which is of a size to receive
one nail only. At the next stroke of the machine the disc rotates as before
and drops the nail point down into the mouth of the telescopic nail tube and
at the same rotation the disc picks another nail from the tracks. The nail
tubes are of such size as will prevent the nails from turning endwise and they
conduct the nail by gravity to the nail chuck where it takes position in a
tapered hole between two spring tensioned jaws. The cross head then descends
carrying with it the nail punches and in some models of machine the chucks
as well. The beveled end punches are about the diameter of the nail head
on the end and they pass downward through the chuck, making contact with
the nail head and forcing the nail through the spring jaws and into the wood.
The nail, it will be noted, is supported close to or on the surface of the wood
by the jaws of the chuck. The picker discs may be fitted with any combina-
tion of notches to drive one nail, skip one, drive two and skip two or any
other combination. If more combinations are required than can be had from
four notches six or more notches may be used with the proper gearing.
The Morgan machines in general are heavy, well built, nicely finished
tools and are adapted to handling medium and large size nails. The Morgan
Co. have never built machines for the very small nails such as %" No. 20
which are best handled on other makes of machines. Special gang chucks
can be fitted to the Morgan machines for driving two or more nails on very
close centers and on any practicable layout.
The Doig machines are built in practically the same range of sizes and
models as the Morgan but are of lighter construction and the smaller sizes
of nails are more readily handled.
The Doig machines are built on competent cast columns with counter-
shaft in base, vertically adjustable table, pedal controlled clutch and vertically
operating cross head along similar lines to the Morgan machines. The nail
pans have an intermittent motion in time with the strokes of the cross head,
and deliver the nails to inclined tracks from which they are picked by a combin-
ation of fingers mounted on two horizontal picker bars which are caused to
reciprocate across the mouth of the nail tracks by segmental face cams operated
by levers and rock shafts from the cross head. Nails are fed by gravity down
the nail tubes and are driven by punches in much the same manner as on
the Morgan machines. The Doig machines are built in a great variety of
special types, one having double nail pans and tracks, permitting the use
of two different size nails in all chucks by a simple adjustment. Another
special type drives the nails slanting, outside nails pointing toward the center.
Still another type is fitted with an automatic in and out motion for the gauge
which permits centering different thicknesses of stock at alternate strokes.
Another model used for nailing tops on filled boxes is fitted with an automatic
conveyor table. Clinching attachments and power hoist for table may also
be fitted to most models and motor of 'A to 5 H. P. may be geared direct
to the clutch shaft.
The Grammes line of nailing machines is built on well designed cast iron
columns and embraces horizontal foot and power driven types as well as
the vertical type. The horizontal machines are employed almost exclusively
in cigar box work and are not built to handle nails over %" long. The line
includes vertical power driven machines to handle nails from the very smallest
up to about 6d.
These machines embody large continuously moving nail pans, a one-piece
hardened steel picker bar which picks the nails from all tracks, safety picker
cam which acts to prevent jams, improved self clearing nail chucks which
support the nail until it is 75 percent in the wood, quick acting roller bearing
clutch and very complete, accurate and convenient adjustments. This line
of machines is very finely finished in filler and special brown enamel. TheGrammes machines in general are light, accurately built tools designed for
small or medium sized work and are capable of handling the very smallest
nails possible to be machine driven. Nails as small as re" long by No. 20
gauge are being successfully handled on these machines.
The smallest vertical, power driven machine catalogued drives up to
four nails y2" or A" long by 18-19 gauge. Net weight 575 lbs. Floor space
28"x28". Motor of lA H. P. may be belted to the 125 R. P. M. clutch shaft.
The largest catalogued machine is of the side arm type and has range to drive
up to six nails of a maximum size of 1 %" long by 13 gauge. Net weight 1550
lbs. Floor space 36"x60". Motor of 1 H. P. may be belted to the 100 R. P. M.
clutch shaft.

Box Making Machines, Wire Bound Type.
Builders:
Wirebounds Corporation.
Saranac Automatic Machine Corporation.
The system employed in the manufacture of this type box involves the
use of two independent machines, one for making the ribbon of wood bound
with wire which composes the top, bottom and sides of the box and the other
for stapling the framed, veneer paneled, ends into place. The top bottom
and sides are composed of thin boards, usually of veneer which are formed
into a continuous ribbon by three or more transverse strands of wire stapled
into place on each board. The layout of boards is such that the joints come
at the corners of the box.
The machine which automatically produces this ribbon of wire bound
boards is built on a pair of “A” shaped end frames connected by horizontal
girts and bars. The stapling chucks are mounted on a horizontal bar located
over the conveyor which carries the boards into the machine. Over head
extensions of the machine frame carry the wire reels from which the wire
is conducted down and through the machine on top of the boards to which
it is stapled as the ribbon passes under the chucks. The ribbon of boards is
severed at the rear of machine into lengths to make the required top, bottom
and two sides.
The framed-up ends are inserted in the inside of this length of wire bound
wood and are stapled in place by the second machine which is of the type
which takes the wire from a coil, forms and drives the staples automatically.
At this machine the box is handled by hand.No. 280.
Box Making Machines, Swedish Match, Automatic.
Builders:
American Splint Corporation.
Two separate machines are employed in the manufacture of this type
of box, one for the inside tray and the other for the outer, open ended box.
Both are fully automatic.
The machine used for making the trays is fitted with hoppers into which
the accurately cut and scored veneer is placed by hand. At each stroke of
the tray machine one piece for the bottom and one for the sides and end is
drawn from the hoppers and automatically fed to the revolving mandrils.
The paper covering in rolls of the required width is carried on detached reels
and passes in its progress to the machine through the under side of a paste
receptacle where it is given a thin, even coat of paste. This paper tape is
then passed automatically around the veneers and the finished box tray is
ejected from the machine. The output is 4500 trays per hour with one operator.
Motor of 1/10 H. P. is required. Floor space 48"x72". Net weight 760 lbs.
The operation of the machine used to make the outer boxes is very similar
except that two boxes are produced at each stroke. The output is 7000 boxes
per hour and a motor of y H. P. is required. Floor space 69"x75". Net
weight 925 lbs.

Box Strapping Machine.
Builders:
Wm. S. Doig, Inc.
This machine is used for stretching the hoop iron tightly around the
ends of bottle boxes. Both ends are strapped at the same time and the straps
are fitted in the grooves cut by special machines for this purpose.
The machine is built on a cast bed which carries vertically a circular
housing within which a chuck with range to clamp boxes up to 18"x24"x36"
is revolvably mounted. This chuck is driven by sprocket chain from a gear
driven clutch shaft which is controlled by a pedal. Vertical reels are fitted
to carry the coils of hoop iron. The iron from the reels passes through a series
of rolls which give it any desired tension. In operation the box is mounted
in the chuck and one end of the iron band is nailed fast. The chuck is then
given one revolution which draws the band tightly around the box. The
last end is then secured by nailing and the box removed. The band is then
throughly nailed to the box on the special No. 4 Doig or similar nailing machine.

Car Boring Machines, Horizontal, Multiple.
Builders:
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Greenlee Bros. & Co.
S. A. Woods Machine Co.
Horizontal car boring machines are used for boring medium and large
timbers of all kinds and are usually fitted with two to five boring spindles
which are operated independently by hand levers and are fitted with a quick
vertical adjustment to register the bits with layout marks on the timbers.
The timbers to be bored are mounted on a table fitted with rollers, one of
which is usually operated by handwheel for the purpose of shifting the timber
endwise. The holes are bored one at a time and the advantage of several
spindles lies in the fact that different sizes of bits are instantly available.
Both the vertical and the horizontal type machines have certain advantages
and among the good points of the horizontal are the facts that the timbers need
not be clamped, the chips fall away from the stock and do not obscure the
layout marks and the belting is usually simplified.
The Fay-Egan No. 157 machine is built with either three or four spindles
and embodies a self-contained, cast iron frame which carries the spindles,
table and countershaft. Spindles are driven without belts by the use of cut
spur and miter gears. The spindle yokes adjust vertically on round steel
guides by hand lever and the spindles have an independent horizontal feed
of 16". Bits up to 3" diameter are within the range of the machine. The table
is fitted with seven 5" rolls, one of which is operated by large handwheel.
Motor of 7 H to 10 H. P., 900 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to drive shaft.
Floor space 75"x94" or 103".
The Greenlee Standard line of machines of this type is built in three
sizes, No. 303, No. 304, No. 305 and is designed for medium work. These
machines have range to bore holes up to 3" diameter by 14" deep and are
fitted with 12" range of vertical adjustment for the spindle yokes. This line
differs only in the number of spindles, the No. 303 carries two, the No. 304
three and the No. 305 four boring spindles.
The Greenlee Extra Heavy Machines include the No. 306, four-spindle,
and the No. 307, five-spindle machines. These machines are designed for
heavy work on timbers up to 16"xl6" and will carry bits of any size ever used.
Both series cf the Greenlee machines embody the same general design.
The frames are heavy and of modern design. The spindle carriages are
mounted on vertical steel guides of round section and are adjustable by
hand lever. Spindles are double keyed and travel through long sleeved pulleys.
Carriages are counter-balanced and the adjusting levers are fitted with positive
locks. Bit supporting guides for use on long slender tools may embody safety
guards. The tables are mounted on the main frame and are fitted with idle
and handwheel operated rolls for timber feed. When machines are belt driventhe countershaft is located overhead. When motors are used a special layout
of idlers permits mounting the motor on supports on top of the frame or on
the floor at end of machine. In either case one belt with weighted tension
pulley drives all spindles. The net weights are as follows: No. 303, 3150 lb?.;
No. 304, 3750 lbs.; No. 305, 4500 lbs.; No. 306, 5400 lbs.; No. 307,
7000 lbs. Motors of 5 to 15 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., are competent for direct
belting to these tools.
The Woods No. 325 machine carries four spindles mounted in vertically
adjustable carriages which travel on round steel vertical guides and are
adjusted by self-locking hand levers. Spindles are double keyed and travel
through the pulley carrying sleeves which are journaled in long self-oiling
bearings. They are belt driven from overhead counter or motor of 10 H. P.
Range is to bore holes to a maximum diameter of 2" in stock 14" square.
Spindles have a 14" stroke and adjust to 12" above the table. Table is 96"

Chair Bending Machines, Press Type.
Builders:
Bancroft & Barnard.	Gardner Machine Works.
Wm. Loeffier Machine Co.	L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
This type machine is used for bending chair arms, rockers, back posts,
backs, etc., of either round or square section. The general design of the
machine involves a heavily constructed base which mounts a vertical hydraulic
cylinder and plunger of 6" to 10" diameter. Rising from this heavy base are
two or more vertical steel bars of round section which carry the top section
of press and take the strain of the bending. Between the bottom section,
which is mounted on top of the hydraulic plunger and the top section which
is rigidly connected with the base by the steel bars, are three or more similar
sections which are fitted to be guided by the steel bars upon which they are
free to slide. The top section is machined on its lower surface, the bottom
section on its top surface and the intermediate sections on both surfaces to
the shape of the required bending. The sections are all cored hollow and are
fitted -with flexible live steam connections. Steel or brass upset straps with
permanently attached bulkheads are employed and are of a size to cover the
entire bending surface of the sections. In operation the stock is equalized
to exactly fit between the bulkheads of the upset straps and is thoroughly
steamed, preferably in a closed retort and is then placed in the straps in quan-
tity to cover the entire surface of the strap. The upset strap with its charge
of unbent blanks is then placed in one of the openings between the press
sections and the hydraulic plunger raised forcing the sections together and
making the bend. The sections are then hooked together to retain the bend
and the next sections opened and the process repeated. Stock remains in
the steam heated sections for a period ranging from 30 to 120 minutes depending
on size and condition of blanks and is then removed thoroughly dry and set.
These machines are usually built with six openings about 30 " wide by 48 " long
and are operated by cylinders 8" to 10" diameter. Floor space 36"x60". Weight
9000 to 10,000 lbs.No. 314.

bars at each corner which carry the top section and take the bending strain.
The bending sections are cored and are fitted with live steam connections.
The sections are 25" wide by 50" long and are hinged longitudinally in the
center. At the start of the bend the hinge permits the sections to flatten out
and when the pressure is applied the sections resume their curved shape and
in doing so bend the stock from the ends toward the center. Brass upset
straps are used. The operating mechanism involves double toggle joints
operated through a central geared shaft by a long ratchet hand lever. Floor

The outer end of the slide is supported by a cored pedestal. In operation
the roller which follows the outside of form is moved away from the form
and locked by a lever motion and a form is mounted on the driving shaft.
An upset strap is hooked at one end to the form and at the other end
to the end stop. A blank is mounted in the strap and the end pressure
applied by means of the screw adjusted end stop. The roller arm is
unlatched to permit the roller to engage the form and blank. The power
is then applied and the form makes one revolution, the roller holding the
blank and upset strap to the form, and the bend is completed. The bending
is then shackeled to the form and removed for drying. A form and strap
are required for each bending which must remain on the form until set. This
machine may be driven by a motor of 3 H. P. geared to the driving pulley.

The Gardner No. 75 machine is used for cutting the notches in the back
posts of the chair for the reception of the seat, doing this work after the
“back part” has been driven. The machine is built on a cored pedestal which
carries a horizontal arbor fitted with wobble saws or gaining head. On the
front face of the pedestal there are vertical ways in which is mounted a saddle
which carries an adjustable, horizontal, cone shaped stud. The carriage which
is fitted with suitable stops and gauges for the mounting of the “back part”
is pivoted on this stud and is swung over the gaining head on a circle of the
required radius. The carriage is counter-weighted so that it operates very
easily. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor pulley which
should make about 3500 R. P. M. Floor space 30"x48". Weight 800 lbs.
The McKnight No. 29-E machine is similar in design to the foregoing
machine but is used for notching the back posts for the reception of the
screwed-on type of bent back. This operation is performed after the “back
part” has been assembled. The machine is built on a cored pedestal with
countershaft in the base and on the top a, horizontal arbor fitted with a gang
of wobble saws having range to cut to a maximum length of 6'. The carriage
is pivoted on a horizontal stud carried on a large, vertically adjustable disc
and may be set to swing on a circle of any radius from 18" to 27". Motor
of 2 to 3 H. P. may be belted direct to arbor pulley which should make 3000
R. P. M. Floor space 36"x60". Weight 800 lbs.
The McKnight No. 29-D machine is used for the same cut as the machine
last described. This machine however contemplates performing the operation
before the parts have been assembled. Machine is built on a cast iron frame
with horizontal arbor at the top. This arbor carries between the self-oiling
bearings a gang of wobble saws which are served by a vertically adjustable
table which is fitted with the necessary gauges and stops. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P.
may be belted direct to the arbor which should make about 3000 R. P. M.
Floor space 27"x34". Weight 460 lbs.No. 333, Continued
The Gardner No. 100 machine is used for the same purpose as the preced-
ing tool. This machine is built on a cored pedestal and carries the wobble
saws on a horizontal arbor between bearings. The table is operated by hand
lever and is fully adjustable. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may be belted direct to
the 3000 R. P. M. arbor.
The McKnight No. 41 machine is used for notching chair seats for the
back posts, both notches being cut at one operation. The machine
embodies a cast iron bed mounted on end frames and fitted at each end with
a swivel plate which is longitudinally adjustable. Mounted on each of these
plates is a housing which is operated on horizontal ways at right angles to
the bed by a pedal motion. Both the housings are actuated by the one pedal.
Mounted on each housing is a yoke in which a horizontal arbor is journaled.
This yoke may be tilted, in a vertical plane, to any required angle. The
arbor therefore is universally adjustable, being subject to angular motion in a
horizontal plane on a swivel plate, vertical tilting motion on the housing in
addition to the transverse and longitudinal motions. Between the two arbors is
a vertically adjustable sliding carriage which is operated by hand on horizontal
ways at right angles to the arbors. The arbors carry dado heads 10" in
diameter on their inner ends. The machine may be operated in either of two
ways. The table may be stationary and the dado heads brought up to the
cut by the pedal motion or the heads may remain in a fixed position and the
table and work shoved against them. The former method is of course
necessary where the notches converge toward the center of the seat. Motor
of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the overhead countershaft which makes 750
R. P. M. Floor space 28"x60". Weight 1520 lbs.
The Loeffler No. 511 machine is used for notching back posts for the recep-
tion of the bent back and at the same operation boring for the screws that
secure the back in place. This machine is built on an open type cast frame
and is belt driven from an overhead countershaft. The post is mounted in
suitable clamps and gauges and is notched by saws mounted on a horizontal
arbor carried in a swing frame below the post and at the same time bored
by the bits carried in one, two or three, vertical, lever operated boring spindles,
which are mounted above the post and driven by gears. This machine may be
used on round or square posts and has capacity to fit 200 posts per hour. A
motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the countershaft.
The Loeffler Arm Notching machine is used for notching arms to fit
square back posts and may also be used for spotting or notching round or
square back posts and may be fitted to cut the back post notches in seats.
The stock is mounted and notched in pairs and cuts to 5 %" long may be
made. This machine is built on a cast frame upon the top of which four hori-
zontal saw arbors are mounted. Two of these arbors are fitted with rip saws
of a greater size than the cut-off saws on the other two arbors. The cut-off
saw arbors are located below the rip saw arbors and the axis of each cut-off
arbor crosses that of one of the rip saw arbors at an angle. The four arbors
are adjustable independently as to angle and are driven by belts from an
overhead countershaft. On the front face of the frame is located a table, which
is fitted with suitable gauges and clamping fixtures for mounting the parts
in pairs, and is operated vertically by a pedal. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be
belted to the countershaft.No. 334.
Chair Mortising Machines, Vertical.
Builders:
Gardner Machine Works.	Wm. Loeffler Machine Co.
L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
Chair mortising machines are almost invariably of the vibrating bit
vertical type and may be automatic or non-automatic. This type of mortising
machine is especially well adapted to cutting shallow mortises where there
is little stock remaining on either side or back of the cut. This condition
prevails to a large extent in chair mortising. The bit used is a short stiff tool
filed into a “V” at the end so that two cutting lips are produced and the sides
are safe, that is, without cut. This bit is revolved at high speed and at the
same time it is fed into the wood is reciprocated with a stroke equal to the
required length of mortise.
The McKnight No. 158 mortiser is built on a wood post which extends
from floor to ceiling and carries on its front face the vertical mortising spindle
and the table, and on its rear face a vertical countershaft. The mortising
spindle is journaled in a yoke which is pivoted at the top end and is swung,
pendulum fashion, by a rod from an adjustable disc crank carried on a belt
driven horizontal shaft at the side of post. The spindle is fed downward
through the bearings by a chain driven cam at the top end and the depth of
mortise is governed by the vertical adjustment of table. The lower end of
the spindle yoke is guided by a segmental rail. Table is fitted with a lever
operated clamp. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted to the 1000 R. P. M. vertical
countershaft. Floor space 44 "x66". Weight 1500 lbs. Owing to the pendulum
like mounting of the spindle the center of the mortise produced by this
machine is a trifle deeper than the ends.
The Gardner No. 97 mortiser is built on a cored, one-piece column with
horizontal countershaft in the base. The vertical spindle is driven by belt
running over guide pulleys from the countershaft. Table is vertically adjustable
by screw and handwheel. Special chuck designed to reduce breakage of bits
is fitted. No slow running belts are used on this machine gearing being substi-
tuted. All bearings are ring oiling. Motor of 5 H. P., 900 R. P. M., may be
coupled to the base countershaft.
The McKnight No. 33-C mortiser is built on an open type iron column
which carries on its front face horizontal ways for the bit carriage. The
vertical countershaft is at the rear. The bit spindle is mounted in a carriage
which is vibrated on the horizontal ways by the usual type of adjustable
disc crank and rod. This machine is fitted with power feed, automatic clamp-
ing device and swiveling table and is fully competent for any kind of chair
mortising. Special table is furnished for mortising bent backs. The machine
can be readily changed from a straight to a circle mortise. Range is to cut
straight mortises to 12" and circle mortises to 8" long. Motor of 5 H. P. may
be belted to the 750 R. P. M. countershaft. Floor space 58"x66". Weight
2150 lbs.
The Loeffler No. 609 mortiser is of the vertical, vibrating bit type and
is adapted to either straight or curved mortising. The stock to be mortised
is clamped horizontally to the table of the machine and is cut by the bit
mounted in the top end of the vertical spindle and projecting through a slot
in the table. Range is to cut straight or curved mortises up to 8" long and
to a maximum depth of 2". The capacity is such as to cut a mortise 2 Yi" long
by 1" deep in three seconds. This machine is built on a cored, box type pedes-
tal which carries a tilting cast iron table at the top and on one face the spindle
oscillating mechanism and on the quartering face the vertical mortising
spindle. The table is fitted to angle for mortising seats and similar work and is
fitted with convenient gauges and lever operated clamp. The mortising
spindle is mounted in three large self aligning ball bearings and the lower
end of the yoke which carries the spindle is mounted in a universal joint.
The upper end of spindle yoke carries a concentric guide roller which operatesin ways which govern the shape of the mortise cut. These ways are self-
contained and interchangeable and may be furnished for straight or curved
mortises of any reasonable radius. The stroke of the mortising spindle is
actuated by a disc crank and connecting rod which is fitted with ball bearing
crank pin. The crank pin is adjustable by screw and its throw is indicated
on a graduated scale. Four rates of oscillation and four upward feeds are
fitted. The bit may be readily set very close to the cut so that little time is
lost in idle feed. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted or coupled to the 950
R. P. M. countershaft. Weight 1000 lbs.

Chair Mortising Machines, Multiple Spindle.
Builders:
Wysong & Miles Co.
Jenkins Machine Co.
The Three Spindle Mortiser of the Wysong & Miles Co. is of the vibrat-
ing bit type and is especially designed for mortising bent chair backs which
require a series of mortises cut on the same radius as the bend of the back.
Range is to cut from one to three mortises on a circle the radius of which
may be adjusted from 18" to 24". The center spindle may be set to cut to a
maximum length of 8" and the outside spindles will cut up to 4" long. The cut
of all three spindles may overlap making a continuous mortise 16" long.
The machine is built on a cored column of “A” shape which carries at
the apex a horizontal shaft journaled in vertically, adjustable saddles located
one on each side of the frame. These saddles are adjustable simultaneously
in the vertical ways by handwheel and screws. Mounted on this horizontal
shaft are two swing frames, one of which carries at the lower end the center
mortising spindle. The second frame carries the two outside mortising spindles.
These swing frames are pivoted pendulum wise from the shaft at the top
and are vibrated through the arc of a circle, the radius of which is adjustable
through the vertically adjustable pivoting shaft. The length of the frames
is adjustable to compensate for an increase or decrease in the radius on which
they swing and graduated scales are fitted for these adjustments. The mortis-
ing spindles are horizontal and are driven by belts from the horizontal pivoting
shaft at the top. The swing frames are oscillated independently by adjustable
crank and eccentric carried on a horizontal belt driven shaft at side of main
frame. The table is mounted on the front face of frame and is fitted with
a powerful hand lever operated clamp for bringing the bent backs to shape.
Table is fed to the bits, on horizontal ways, by a hand lever. Motor of 7 H
to 10 H. P. may be belted to the detached countershaft.
The Wysong & Miles Multiple Chair Post Mortiser is, as indicated by
its name, designed for mortising chair posts, either square or round,
straight or bent. It may however, be fitted with special clamp fixtures which
adapt it to a wide range of furniture and cabinet work. It is fitted with either
three or four spindles and will cut from one to four mortises of the same or
varying lengths, staggered, one at an angle or all on a straight line. The
spindles carry bits in each end and a table is fitted at each side so that two
operators may work.
Machine is built on heavy end frames connected by side girts. Mounted
on each side of this frame at the top, on knees cast solid with the frame, is
a work holding table 9%"x50" in size which is fitted with suitable clamping
devices. The tables have an angular adjustment of fifteen degrees and feed
toward the bits on horizontal ways by the action of a hand levering
Located in the center of the machine between the tables is the longitudinal
girder which carries the ways on which the spindle yokes reciprocate. This
girder is vertically adjustable by screw and handwheel at each end. The
yokes which operate on this girder carry the double ended, crucible steelNo. 335, Continued.
spindles in self-oiling bearings. Spindles are belt driven from overhead counter-
shaft and spindle pulleys are made to expand lengthwise to take out all end
play between the bearings. The spindles have a vertical adjustment of 2"
and are independently adjustable for mortise length by handwheel. On
three-spindle machines, one spindle makes a maximum length mortise of
3 y8" and two spindles will cut as long as 8". On the four-spindle machine
two of each the above lengths are cut. Maximum centers of the two outside
spindles 34", minimum center distance of any two spindles 3%". The left
hand spindle ways may be tilted to an angle of ten degrees above and five
degrees below the center line of the bits. All spindles are fitted with three-
jaw compression bit chucks at each end. Weight 3850 lbs. Floor space
53"x94". Motor 4 H. P.
The Jenkins No. 127 Multiple Automatic Mortiser is of the oscillating
or vibrating bit type which produces round end mortises and is used in chair,
case goods and cabinet work.
This machine is built on a bolted-up iron frame to the top of which are
fitted the horizontal slides for the work tables. Located on the machine top
between the table slides, and at right angles to them is the beam, which affords
horizontal ways for the oscillating bit carriages. The spindles are double
ended and are fitted with bits at each end. Spindle drive is by belts from
overhead countershaft. The spindle yokes reciprocate on the planed ways
of the beam and two oscillating mechanisms are located on each side of the
machine so that four double ended spindles may be operated at different
lengths of stroke. An additional spindle yoke may be attached to one of the
oscillating mechanisms making five mortises which may be cut on each end
of the machine, two of these mortises being of the same length.
The double ended arbors as stated are located in the center of the machine
top and facing them at each end is a work holding carriage which is provided
with suitable clamping fixtures and is fed towards the bit on horizontal ways
by an automatic cam action. The cams are so shaped as to impart a slow
infeed, a quick return and a dwell at the end of return stroke which gives the
operator time to remove the mortised work and insert a new piece in the
clamps. Each of the four spindles is independently adjustable and will cut
mortises of a maximum length of 7" or if required two spindles may be set
so as to join in cutting a mortise 13" long. Adjustments are also provided
so that mortises may be staggered.
Three, four or five strokes of the tables per minute may be made at each
side of the machine, giving a total production of six, eight or ten pieces of
mortised stock per minute, each piece may have any number of mortises up
to five. The minimum center distance of bits is 4". Bits run at 4000 R. P. M.
and a 5 H. P., 900 R. P. M., motor may be coupled direct to countershaft.

Chair Grooving Machines, Circular Type.
Builders:
L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
The McKnight No. 131-C machine is used for cutting circular grooves
or mortises for the reception of the panel in bent chair backs and seats. The
machine employes a small, concave, saw type cutter and has range to cut
circular grooves of any required radius.
The machine is built on a cored pedestal with attached countershaft
at the base and horizontal arbor at the top. Mounted on the front face of
the pedestal is an adjustable, segmental shaped table with an extending hori-
zontal arm fitted with a vertical stud on which the carriage pivots. Stud is
adjustable to give the carriage travel any required radius. The arbor is
mounted in self-oiling bearings and carries on the end a small concave groov-
ing cutter of a thickness and dish suitable to the required groove. In operation
the chair back or seat is clamped to the swinging carriage, which is located
against an adjustable stop, and the table raised by a pedal, bringing the cutter
into the wood at the beginning of the required groove. The carriage is then
traversed by hand in a circular path, pivoting on the vertical stud, until it
strikes a stop and the groove is completed. Where a series of cuts are to be
made multiple stops are employed. Motor of 1 to 2 H. P. may be substituted
for the countershaft and belted direct to the arbor which should turn 4000

Chair Framing Machines, Pinch Back Seat Type.
Builders:
L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
The operation of chair framing involves a jointing cut by a circular saw
and the boring at the same operation of the two or more holes for the dowels
used to connect the two pieces. Framed-up chair seats are of two types, the
Eastern in which the side rails are doweled upon the front edge of the back
rail and to the rear edge of the front rail, and the Pinch Back type in which the
side rails are doweled to the ends of the back rail and the front rail is doweled
to the ends of the side rails. The McKnight No. 27 machine is adapted to the
production of side rails for the Pinch Back frame which require holes in the
end and in the side of the rails, which holes must be in very exact relation
to each other. This machine is built on a bolted-up cast frame which carries
the horizontal saw arbor and the three-bit boring head on the top. Mounted
on the front face of frame are adjustable knees which carry a bed with hori-
zontal ways on which the carriage is operated by hand. The geared boring
head and the saw arbor run side by side and are driven by one belt from
over head. In operation the rail is mounted on the carriage, clamped and
moved past the saw where it is jointed and then stopped in front of the boring
head by means of suitable stop. Boring head is then brought forward by the
pedal and the holes bored. A spring on the carriage is then released and the
rail is automatically swung around and the joint made and holes bored at
right angles to the first cut. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may be belted direct to
the arbor and boring head. Floor space 41'x42". Weight 850 lbs.

Chair Tenoning Machines, Bent Back Type.
Builders:
Gardner Machine Works.
L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
This type machine is used for cutting the tenons on the ends of bent
chair backs which make into the mortises in the posts. Three different types
of machines are built, one for relishing the shoulders of tenon to fit square
posts, another for use on round posts and the third for use on either round
or square posts.
The McKnight No. 71-B and the Gardner No. 72-A machines are of
the type for round post v/ork and are very similar. The McKnight machine
is built on a lathe type bed which carnes horizontal ways for the work holding
carriage. At each end of the bed with its axis parallel with the ways is a
horizontal belt driven boring spindle and near the center of the ways at the
rear is a vertical housing which carries two horizontal, belt driven arbors
located in the same vertical plane. These arbors are fitted with solid
milled, multi-tooth tenon heads and the lower arbor in addition carries
a small cut-off saw behind the tenon head. These arbors are at right angles
to the carriage ways and are vertically adjustable. The back is clamped
in the carriage, which is universally adjustable and is fitted with competent
clamping and gauging fixtures, and is shoved betv/een the tenon heads where
the tenon is cut. The carriage is then moved to one end of the ways where a
bit of the same size as the post the back is to fit, is mounted in the horizontal
spindle and used to relish or reduce the tenon to the proper width to fit the
mortise. The bit at the other end of the ways completes the relishing of the
other edge of back in the same manner. Relishing spindles are driven by belt
from sub-counter mounted at rear of machine. Machine is driven from over-
head countershaft to which motor of 5 H. P. may be belted. Speed of
countershaft 1000 R. P. M. Floor space 40"x78". Weight 1400 lbs.
The Gardner No. 72 and No. 82 machines and the McKnight No. 71-C
and No. 71-F are of the type used on square post work and differ from the
preceding tool only in the substitution of a horizontal arbor with multi-tooth
cutter for the relishing bit. This arbor is parallel with the tenoning head
arbors.
The Gardner No. 72-A and the McKnight No. 71-A machines are adapted
to either round or square post work and embody both the cutter head and
the boring spindle for relishing.No. 344.

This machine is used for tenoning the laterally curved panels or bannis-
ters used in certain patterns of chairs to fit the mortises made by the Multiple
Mortiser or the Circular Grooving Machine. The panel being curved trans-
versely the tenon must also be curved on a circle of the same radius.
The McKnight No. 71-D machine is built on an iron frame which carries
at the top four, horizontal, belt driven arbors the center two of which are
located one above the other in the same vertical plane. These heads all carry
circular, multi-tooth, solid milled cutters and the lower center arbor carries
in addition a small cut-off saw located behind the cutter. Besides the center
heads, one head is located at each end of the machine. These four heads are
driven by one belt from over head and are fully adjustable vertically and
transversely. On the front face of the machine frame with its face in a vertical
plane is a large disc which is adjustable in vertical ways and may also be
set at an angle. On this disc is pivoted an adjustable carriage on which the panel
to be tenoned is mounted in suitable gauges and clamps. This carriage carries
the panel through the cutter heads on a circle of the required radius. The
cutters on each end are employed to relish the tenon, from each edge, to the
proper width. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor pulleys.

Chair Sanding Machines, Eelt Drum Type.
Builders:
Wm. Loeffler Machine Co.
The Loeffler machine of this type is used for curved, free hand sanding
of all kinds of the class that is usually accomplished on the free hand drum
sander. The principle involved in this machine is that of a fast running belt
traveling over a drum on which the sanding is done. The drum may be flat
or curved face and is cushioned. Pneumatic drums are often used in this
manner with a belt traveling over them rather than mounting the abrasive
paper directly on the drum. This type machine has several advantages among
which is the greater amount of abrasive paper in use at one time, another
is the fact that the sanding surface may to some extent be shaped to fit the
work and a further advantage lies in the increased smoothness of operation
due to the absence of the opening necessary to secure paper to a drum. This
machine is built on a frame composed of two cored pedestals of circular sec-
tion set side by side and connected by steel bars. On the top of these pedestals
is mounted a horizontal shaft which carries tight and loose pulleys between
the bearings and is fitted to receive drums on each end. The idle belt pulleys
are mounted in independent frames which are pivoted on a horizontal bar
mounted near the floor at the rear and controlled by long screw rods running
to each pedestal wfflere a handwheel is fitted. The belts are driven at high
speed around these pulleys and over the drums where the sanding is done.

The Gardner No. 74 machine is built on a one-piece frame of gooseneck
type which carries a horizontal driving shaft with tight and loose pulleys
and sand belt driving pulley below the table. An idle pulley of the same size
as the driving pulley is located at the top of the goose neck directly over the
driving shaft. A vertical member runs from driving to idle shaft and is fitted
with a slotted arm which carries the table. At the rear of the gooseneck is
a small, adjustable, idle pulley. An endless steel band 134" wide is run over
the two large pulleys for the purpose of supporting the sanding belt which
runs over the adjustable idler at the rear and around the two large pulleys
on the outside of the steel band. In operation the sand belt is trained to run
with one edge flush with edge of steel band and the other edge overlapping
about ZA". The rigid support of one edge of the belt makes it possible to
sand very small detail accurately. Motor of H to 1 H. P. may be belted to
the drive shaft. Floor space 24"x36". Weight 600 lbs.No. 361.
Chair Sanding Machines, Power Feed, Bent Back Type.

Carving Machines, Spindle Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
Anthe Machine Works.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
C. O. Porter Machinery Co.
This type of carving machine is used for freehand veining and incised
cutting. The essential features of this machine is a horizontal, belt driven
spindle which carries the cutters on an extension at some distance from the
bearing. Usually driven at very high speed and mounted in bronze bearings
provided with ample lubrication.
The machines in general comprise a substantial base designed for mount-
ing on bench or on a cast iron pedestal. This base carries in very accuratebronze bearings a cutter head arbor with long extension nose, usually of separa-
ble construction, at the end of which the circular, multi-tooth cutters are
mounted. The spindle nose is tapered so as to offer no obstruction to the use
of cutters of very small diameter which are screwed on its end. The base
or housing in which the spindle is journaled is offset and the caps of the bear-
ings are as small as possible and are located on the lower side of the bearing.
This construction is for two reasons, first the pull of the belt from the ceiling
countershaft is against the solid metal of the housing and not against the
caps, and second, the overhung base and the small cap make it possible for
the cutter head to be applied to the surface of large panels with the arbor
nearly parallel with the surface. The driving belt from an overhead counter-
shaft or motor of 3 H. P. is usually endless and fitted with adjustable tension.
The bearings are necessarily of very good design and construction to stand
the spindle speeds of 6000 to 10,000 R. P. M.
The American Figure 1218 machine is built with the head and pedestal
integral in one cored casting of circular section. The cast steel arbor is accur-
ately ground and carries various sizes of detachable nose pieces. Floor space
27"x54". Motor of 3 H. P. 1800 R. P. M. may be belted direct to the arbor
which should make 6000 to 8000 R. P. M. Weight 475 lbs. A bench type
machine is also built by this company.
The Pcrter machines are built in three sizes, the largest being fitted with
a spindle 40" long which is mounted in bearings 2" in diameter by 10" long
and carries the cutters 32" from the housing. Motor of 3 H. P. may be belted
to the spindle, which should make 6400 R. P. M. Weight including pedestal
595 lbs.
This type machine is designed for producing two or more duplicate carv-
ings, automatically, from one pattern. The principle involved is that of a
tracing pin which follows the contour of the pattern and governs the position
of the two or more cutters.
The Curtis machines No. 49 and No. 50 are built with two or four spindles
and comprise an equal number of tables, or sets of centers located one above
the other, on which the blanks to be cut are mounted. The cutting and tracing
spindles are capable of universal movement. The tracing spindle is moved by
hand over the surface of the hardwood pattern which is an exact duplicate
of the required carving. The cutting spindles are very delicately adjusted
and mounted so that they are very sensitive to the control of the tracing
spindle. The spindles are driven at extremely high speeds by means of special
leather belts and are mounted in tapered bronze bearings with ample lubri-
cating facilities. Floor space ranges from 84"xl20" to 108"x216", and weights
from 2200 lbs. to 4800 lbs. Motor of 3 H. P. is required.
The St. Paul machines are built in eight sizes and are fitted with four,
six or eight spindles. This machine carries a single large table on which the
pattern and the several blanks to be cut are mounted. This table is removable
and may be replaced by a series of centers. The vertical cutter head and
tracing spindles are mounted above the table in a single swing frame which
is capable of universal movement under the control of the tracing spindle.
Floor space ranges from 96"xl08" to 108"xl23"; weights from 1500 lbs. to

Clamps, Gluing, Piling Type.
Builders:
Black Bros. Co.
Hartford Clamp Co.
Albert E. Palmer & Sons.
This type of clamp, like the preceding, is used for clamping up edge
glued stock and has range for stock one to two inches thick. The system
contemplates piling the clamped stock, one piece on another until a convenient
height has been reached. This pile is usually on wheeled trucks but may
be on stationary base blocks. When the glue has set the whole unit is “knocked
down" or released from the clamps at once, the operation not being con-
tinuous as is the case with the revolving or carrier type of clamp.
The Black Bros. No. 80 Clamps comprise a steel frame of rectangular
section which is fitted with two screws running its entire length. These screws
carry a heavy pitch, right and left hand thread and each screw is fitted with
a pair cf clamping jaws, one pair on each side of the bar. The screws are
operated by a detachable handle.
In clamping up thick stock the first set of clamps is fastened to the truck
bottom by the lower jaws and the first glued-up board is mounted in the
upper clamps. Another set of clamps is then applied with the lower jaws
gripping the upper edge of the first board and the lower edge of the second
board in the upper jaws and so on. This method for clamping thick stock
gives one set of clamps on each side of each panel. In clamping thinner stock
which does not require a clamp on each side a layer of stock is mounted on
each side of each clamp and divider strips of the same thickness as the clamp
frame are used to make a rigid pile of stock. These clamps are built in three
lengths to take 24", 30" or 36" stock.
The Palmer clamps are built in sizes to clamp stock 24", 30", 36", 42",
48", 54" or 60" wide and the clamping pressure is obtained through a lever
operated eccentric in connection with an adjusting wedge. The main bar
of this clamp is of steel and is fitted with ratchet teeth for a distance of 15"
from the end. At the other end of this bar is the malleable, eccentric operated
clamp head which is fitted with a serrated wedge adjustment to take care
of the ordinary variation in the width of glued-up stock. Used in connection
with these clamp bars is a steel standard 4" wide by 40" long which is slotted
nearly its full length and is mounted in a vertical position in a pocket on the
truck or base block. In operation a blank bar or starter which is fitted with
*	ratchet notches like the clamp bars, but is without the clamping head, is slipped
through the slot in the vertical standard and caught by the notches with
the projecting length of bar resting on the truck bottom. The first layer ofstock is then laid on this series of starting bars. The first set of clamp bsrs
is then hooked in place in the standards and the serrated wedge shoved in
so place the movable jaw loosely against the edge of the stock. A single move-
ment of the eccentric lever then applies a powerful pressure to the stock.
The initial series of clamps interlocks with the starting bars by means of a
tooth which is located at the head end of the clamping bar and enters a hole
in the starting bar; each clamp thereafter interlocks with the one below it,
making a rigid stack or unit of glued-up boards. This clamp is furnished in
Type “A” which has range for stock up to 1 \i" thick, and in Type “B” with
range for stock 1 ¡4" to 2" thick.
The Palmer Heavy Stock Clamp differs from the foregoing in that the
pressure is obtained by screw in place of the eccentric. This clamp is made
in two sizes, the smaller having range for stock 2" to 3" thick, and the larger
for stock 2 Yz" to 7" thick. This clamp is composed of steel bars -h" thick by
3" wide, which are notched on one end and double slotted on the other and
are hooked into vertical standards in the same manner as the eccentric clamps.
These bars are used in connection with malleable nuts which are fitted with
ears to make into the slots in the steel bars. These nuts are fitted with square
headed, six-thread, steel screws 1" in diameter by 9" long. In operation a series
of the steel bars is placed on each side of the first layer of stock, and the
malleable nuts made into the slots and the pressure applied by means of a
detachable wrench. The second layer of stock is then placed on top of the
first layer and a steel bar placed on its top. The malleable nut is then made
into the second slot in the lower bar and the pressure applied and so on. It
will be understood that every bar above the initial one receives the top lug
of the nut below it and the bottom lug of the nut above it and that one series
of steel bars is between each layer of stock.

Builders:
Allington & Curtis Mfg. Co.
Clark Dust Collecting Co.
Massachusetts Blower Co.
B. F. Sturtevant Co.
These systems are employed in conveying sawdust, shavings, etc., over
long distances.
The system built by the Allington & Curtis Co. operates satisfactorily
for distances ranging from 400 to 4000 feet. This system involves the use
of a positive, high pressure blower in connection with an automatic charging
device for introducing the material into the discharge pipe of the blower, none
of it passing through the blower. The charging device is built in any required
size on a structural steel frame which carries cast iron top and bottom plates.
The top plate is fitted with two openings nearly opposite each other. Into one
of these openings the material to be conveyed is fed by gravity. The discharge
pipe from the pressure blower is connected to the other opening. The lower
plate has but one opening which receives a continuation of the discharge
pipe. The charger is inserted in the discharge line at any convenient point.
Between the top and bottom plates of the charger is a sheet steel cylinder
which is mounted upon a slowly rotating, vertical, gear driven shaft. This
cylinder is divided by partitions into a series of pockets open at the top and
bottom. These pockets pass in turn under the gravity feed opening and receive
the material and as the filled or partially filled pockets register at top and
bottom with the inlet and outlet openings of the discharge pipe, the material
is instantly removed by the air pressure. It will be noted that suction is not
involved in this system, the material being handled entirely by the pressure
behind it.No. 387.

Many boxes and crates are now constructed on a plan which involves
a framed-up end covered with veneer. The frame is composed of small squares
or rectangular pieces which are slotted on one end and tenoned on the other
and assembled into a frame on which the veneer is nailed. The tenoning and
slotting is accomplished both ends at once on the machines listed in this and
the following paragraph. This operation is performed before the stock is
ripped to width. The slotted and tenoned boards are then slit up into pieces
of the required size on small power feed saws and the pieces are automatically
assembled by the machines described in paragraph 391 and the veneer is
nailed on as a final operation by the nailing machines listed under 392. The
product of this series of machines is known as a “crate head.”
The Chase Turbine No. 221 machine embodies a chain feed which takes
the stock from a hopper and feeds it past a cut-off saw mounted on a hori-
zontal arbor where it is trimmed to exact length. The feed then continues
past two vertical arbors one at each end of the stock., One of these arbors
carries a grooving saw and cuts the slot and the opposite arbor carries two
saws, separated by a spacing collar, which cut the tenon. Range is for stock
3" to 48" between shoulders. Capacity 10,000 pieces per hour. Motor of

the horizontal arbor located above the feed chains is fitted with two adjust-
able cut-off saws which trim the stock to exact double length. Directly
beneath this arbor is another horizontal arbor which carries in the center
between the two center feed chains a gaining head which cuts on the lower
side of the stock a gain double the length of tenon, plus the thickness of cut-
off saw kerf, in width. The two vertical arbors mounted on the outside of
the outer chain beams are fitted with grooving saws which slot both ends of
the double length stock. The stock then continues on to the third horizontal
arbor located over the feed chains at rear of machine. This arbor carries in
the center a combined gaining head and cut-off saw, the saw being located
between the halves of the head. This head completes the tenon on the top
of stock and the saw cuts the stock into two equal pieces, each piece with
one slotted and one tenoned end. The machine is fully adjustable and may
be driven by motor of 15 H. P.

Builders:
American W. W. Machinery Co. Greenlee Bros. & Co.
J. A. Fay Egan Co.	National W. W. Machinery Co.
Fischer Machine Works.	S. A. Woods Machine Co.
This type machine is used for cutting up boards and plank in all kinds
of wood working plants and is especially adapted to cutting the heavier class
of stock. It is capable of more accurate work than is the swing saw and has
the added advantage over that tool that the operator’s hands are free to
handle the stock.
The usual design embodies a cast frame, preferably of one-piece type,
fitted with cast iron tables and attached countershaft at the rear. Provision
is made for attaching auxiliary wood tables at the ends of the main tables.
Beneath the table are horizontal ways on which the arbor carriage is recipro-
cated by some form of power driven, pedal controlled mechanism. In some
designs the speed and length of the carriage stroke is governed by the pressure
on the pedal, in other types the pedal starts the mechanism, which gives the
carriage a complete stroke of pre-determined length and stops at the rear.
Provision is sometimes made for making the strokes continuous by a simple
adjustment of the pedal.
The American No. 6 machine carries a 16" saw and makes strokes from
6" to 26" long either continuously or by the use of the pedal at each stroke.

This machine is used for cutting all kinds of boards and plank from the
lightest to the heaviest and is probably the most universally used type of
rough cutting-off machine in existence. It has the advantage of requiring
little floor space and of being light and easy to handle. The usual run of
machines of this type are not suited for work where much accuracy is required
but as the machine is usually employed to cut stock which is to be trimmed
to finished length at a future operation this is of no importance.
The design involves a countershaft carried in two hangers which are
mounted on the ceiling, side wall or on posts. Pivoted concentrically with
the shaft is the frame which carries the arbor at the lower end. This frame
is hung so that the counter-balance weight or springs will bring the saw back
of the gauge or fence which is located on the rear edge of the table. The
usual diameter of saw for ordinary work ranges from 12" to 20" and the direc-
tion of rotation is such that the top of saw travels towards the front of table
thus pulling the saw into the cut and assisting in feeding.
Most builders of this type machine are prepared to furnish it without
the countershaft but with a bracket at the top of swing frame for the recep-
tion of a motor of 3 to 10 H. P., 1200 to 1800 R. P. M. The shaft of this
motor is centered with the pivoting points of the frame and the belt leads
direct from motor pulley to arbor pulley.No. 403.

This is a self-contained type of cut-off saw embodying a cast iron frame
and table with swing frame, pivoted at the base, and operated by a pedal.
Due to the fact that the trunnions on which the frame swings are a part of
the main frame which carries the table, as well as to the shorter length of
the frame, this type machine is capable of more accurate work than the over-
hung type. It has the further advantage that both hands of the operator
are free.
The Woods No. 233 machine is typical of this class tool. It is built on
a well designed, cast frame fitted with a cast table 37"x37" and countershaft
at the base. Pivoted concentrically with the countershaft is the cast iron
swing frame which carries the arbor in self-oiling bearings and is operated
by a pedal. Incorporated in this tool are a cast iron sawdust chute, saw guard
and a spring tensioned belt tightener. Range is to cut up to 1 y"xll" or
3 "x9Motor of 5 H. P. may be coupled to countershaft. Floor space
37"x37". Weight 600 lbs.
The Irvington machine is built by specialists in this type machine and
is an exceptionally well designed and built machine. It embodies a cast frame
with heavy swing frame which pivots on turned sleeves projecting from the
countershaft bearings in the base. The cast iron table is fitted with long exten-
sions which are braced to the machine frame making it completely self-
contained. The right hand extension table is fitted with a series of multiple
stops and a competent guard covers the saws which are 14" to 18" diameter.
One of the essential features of this tool is an adjustable balancing weight
which may be set to assist in feeding the saw on both the forward and back
strokes. Adjustable spring cushioned collars govern the length of stroke
and provide a quick return. The pedal leverage is so adjusted as to give a
long saw stroke with a slight pedal motion. Range is to cut stock up to
1 "x20" or 3 y/x.12" with a 14" saw. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be coupled to
countershaft.

This type of saw is used for cutting at an angle all kinds of heavy
timbers used in ship, mine, bridge and railway work.
The Fay-Egan No. 431 machine comprises a standard heavy type swung
saw wuth arbor mounted in adjustable and removable roller bearings and
a 20 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., motor mounted at top of frame in place of the
countershaft. The hangers, on which the saw frame is pivoted, are mounted
on twTo hardwood timbers which are pivoted on a vertical stud located directly
over the center line of saw blade. The outer end of the timber frame traverses
a segmental cast iron housing mounted on the ceiling. At the end of the
timber frame is a yoke which carries a vertical shaft with pinion which
meshes a segmental rack in the housing. The vertical shaft is pendant and is
fitted at the lower end wdth a handwheel and a locking lever. By the action
of this mechanism the saw may be swivelled to cut to an angle of 45 degrees

Cut-Off Saws, Swing Type, Parallel.
Builders:
B. G. Luther Co., Inc.
P. Pryibil Machine Co.
The essential feature of this type machine is a device whereby the saw
is caused to travel in a straight line instead of describing an arc as in the
ordinary swing saw.
The Luther machines of this type are built in two sizes and are called
by the makers “Swing Groovers”. They are used for grooving or gaining
boards up to 24" wide, for crozing tank staves and other similar work. These
machines comprise a countershaft mounted on the ceiling in the usual man-
ner and fitted with a swing frame on concentric pivots which carries the belt
driven arbor at the lower end. Belt is tensioned by a pair of double idlers
with attached weight and wide range of take-up. The swing frame is in two
sections, the lower half telescoping into the upper one. The lower section,
which carries the arbor, is guided in a true horizontal path by a guide which
extends horizontally from a bracket which is mounted on a post at the rear
of table. The saw is maintained in a true right angle position in relation
to the gauge by means of two racks which project horizontally from the guide
bracket at the rear. These racks mesh with two pinions mounted on a hori-
zontal shaft which is fitted with a handwheel and is journaled on the lower
section of frame. This rack and pinion mechanism serves to steady the saw
or grooving head in the cut and may be used for feeding same. The travel
of the saw may be in a true horizontal plane or it may be governed as required
by a template attached to the guides. The bracket which carries the guides
is vertically adjustable and carries the saw frame with it so that it may be
used to regulate the depth of cut. The smaller machine weighs 778 lbs. The
larger one is of much greater range and has capacity to cut a groove 6" wide
by 1 y/ deep and at the same time square the end of the stock. Weight 1475
lbs. Motor of 5 to 15 H. P.
The Pryibil No. 5 machine is used for the same class of work as the pre-
ceding machine and has a very large range. Saws from 18" to 26" diameter
may be used and an 18" saw wall cut stock l"x34" or 6"x26" and a 26" saw
will cut stock as large as 10"x22". Grooving heads from 9" to 14" diameter
may be used and a 9" head will cut a groove 1lA" deep by 26" long, while a
14" head will cut 4" deep and the same length.
This machine is built on a plate which is mounted in a vertical position
on a post or on an iron column which can be furnished on order. This plate
carries at the top vertical ways, in which the housings in which the counter-
shaft is journaled, float. The swinging saw frame is pivoted concentrically
with the countershaft in the usual manner. At the lower end of the base plate
are vertical ways in which a saddle is adjustable by screw. On this saddle
is pivoted a controlling arm the outer end of which is pivoted on the swing
frame. The center distance of the pivots on this control arm is the same as
the center distance of the saw arbor and the pivots on which the frame swings,
and the pivoting point of the control arm on the swing frame is exactly mid-
way between the arbor and the countershaft centers. These three dimensions
being equal, the saw is forced to travel in a true horizontal plane, and to make
this possible the countershaft and the end of swing frame have freedom ver-
tically in the ways at the top of base plate. A maximum vertical adjustment
of the saw of 10" is available by means of the vertically adjustable saddle
which carries one end of the control arm. For angle cutting or gaining of
large timbers a table is fitted, the left end of which is pivoted on a cast iron
base located beneath the center of saw. The outer end of this table is mounted
on a truck which travels on a segmental floor rail and may be swung through
any desired arc of a complete circle. Extreme height of machine from the
floor line 113", width 36". Net weight 900 lbs. Motor of 5 to 7 y H. P. may
be belted to the counterhaft.No. 409.

This device is used on saw tables of all types and is designed to permit
the cutting of several different lengths without adjustment of the stops.
It is especially applicable to swing and railway saws and permits the stock
cutter to utilize his stock to the best advantage as he may cut any length on
the bill without adjustment of the stops.
The principle common to all the makes is that of a series of swinging
stops which are mounted on a graduated bar with provision for adjustment.
These stops all normally project from the back rail or fence a sufficient dis-
tance to stop the end of the board. They are however, so pivoted that the
side pressure of the board will force all except the one wanted back to the
line of the rail.No. 412.

This type machine is built in both wood and iron frame types, the former
being the more common. The usual design contemplates a horizontal arbor
which extends the length of the machine and carries the saws on adjustable
sleeves. The carriage is the full size of the top of machine and is of open,
framed construction with adjustable rails which follow the saws to any
location. This carriage is mounted on rollers or other non-friction device
at each end. The arbor is usually fitted to pull out of one bearing for the
removal of the saws.
The Fay-Egan No. 384 machine is an example of the small, wood frame
machine of this type. It is designed for small work and is built on a frame
which carries the horizontal arbor in self-oiling bearings at each end. The
saws are 10" diameter and may be adjusted from 8" to 12" apart. Range is

Cut-Off Saws, Log, Steam Feed Swing Type.
Builders:
Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.	Clark Bros. Co.
American S. M. Machinery Co. Prescott Co.
This type machine is used in saw mills for cross cutting logs and heavy
timbers, and carries saws up to 84" diameter or even larger. The usual
design embodies a wood frame which is pivoted either above, below or at
one side of the mill floor. The arbor is mounted on the swinging end of this
frame and the pivoting point is concentric with the countershaft, from which
the arbor is belted. The frame is of considerable length to give a long radius
to the swing of saw and is operated by a double-acting steam cylinder and
piston. The connecting rod is pivoted directly on the saw frame and the
control is by foot or hand lever.
An improved type of this machine as built by both Allis-Chalmers and
Clark Bros, comprises a one-piece cast frame which is pivoted beneath the
live roll train and so fitted as to swing the saw up and across the timber to
be cut, on a short radius. This machine is actuated by double-acting cylinder
and is belted from below, idle pulleys being employed to maintain belt ten-
sion. This construction makes for compactness and has the added advantage
that the travel of the saw teeth is downward and across in place of upward
as in the standard jump saw.
The cylinders used to operate this class of saw vary from 5" to 12" in
diameter and from 30" to 40" long. Motors required would vary from 20 to
50 H. P. according to the service.

Builders:
Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.
American S. M. Machinery Co
Clark Bros. Co.
D. J. Murray Mfg. Co.
This machine is of the type most commonly used in saw mills for all
heavy cross cutting. Its usual location in the mill is under the main roll
train between the head mill and the edger. It embodies a wood or
cast iron frame which carries the saw arbor at the top, and is fitted to slide
in vertical ways. Attached directly to the bottom of this frame is the piston
rod from the steam cylinder. The method of belting varies, one plan con-
templating a pair of guide pulleys mounted in the frame and adjusted to
lead the belt from a countershaft or motor located at one side of the cylinder
to the arbor pulley. Another method involves a sub-counter located at the
base of frame and driven by belt from the main countershaft. This sub-counter

The Bryant Cut-Off Saw as built by the above makers is used for pur-
poses similar to the preceding machine and is built in five sizes with band
wheels 24", 30", 36", 48" and 60" in diameter. Each size machine will cut
logs in diameter equal to the size of the wheels. When cut on this machine
the logs require no dogging but are mounted in a simple “V” trough.
The machine comprises a floor stand of cast iron in which is journaled
the main shaft which carries the band wheel and a pair of tight and loose
pulleys. Pivoted concentrically with the shaft is a cast frame which carries
the idle band wheel, saw guides, twisting rolls, etc. The frame and top wheel
are counter-balanced and are operated through the arc of a circle by an end-
less cable running over sheaves on the floor and ceiling. The shafts of this
machine being horizontal and the wheels revolving in a vertical plane some
means must be provided for twisting the saw blade so that the cutting tangent
will present the saw blade in a vertical plane. This quarter twist of the blade
is accomplished by two pairs of rollers, one pair being located at each end
of the cutting tangent of saw blade. These rollers are so located and adjusted
as to twist the saw very gradually. On the 48" machine there is a distance
of 48" between the point where the twist starts and the point where it is finished.
The very gradual manner of making the quarter twist in the blade _ is
easy on the saw and causes no trouble from breakage. For cutting which
requires special accuracy segmental guides are fitted for the swinging end of
the saw frame. Motor of 3 to 10 H. P. may be belted direct to the drive
shaft.No. 427.

Dadoing Machines, Desk Drawer Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
The American Figure 1165 machine is especially designed for cutting the
dadoes or gains in desk drawer sides for the reception of partition strips.
It has range to cut five dadoes, four plain and one dovetailed, in stock up
to 12" wide. This machine is essentially a single purpose tool and is subject
to very slight adjustment. It is built on a cast frame composed of side mem-
bers with bolted cross girts. The side frames are fitted at the top to form
horizontal ways for the sliding carriage and extend toward the rear to carry
the countershaft. Mounted below the carriage is a horizontal arbor which
carries five dado saws A " thick. Four of these saws are spaced on 3 " centers
and are non-adjustable, the fifth saw, which cuts the base for the dovetail
dado is spaced 4K" from the nearest saw. Located on a knee mounted on
the outer face of each side frame is a yoke which carries an arbor set at an
angle and adjustable to undercut the dovetail dado from each side. The
saws mounted on these angular arbors are shaped on the face to agree with
the angle at which they are set. The horizontal and two angular arbors are
driven by independent belts from the attached countershaft. The carriage
is fitted with suitable gauges and clamping fixtures. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P.,
900 R. P. M., may be coupled to the countershaft. Floor space 57"x78".
Weight 1250 lbs.No. 434.
Dadoing Machines, Automatic Window Frame Type.
Builders:
Millbury Machine Co.
New Britain Machine Co.
This machine is used for cutting the gains or dadoes in the side jambs
of window frames. This operation involves cutting a gain at right angles with
the edge of the jamb for the reception of the head jamb and another gain at
an angle for the reception of the sill.
The Harris Automatic Dado Machine, built by the Millbury Co., is
an automatic chain feed machine built on a frame composed of cast end
frames connected by round steel girts. The feed chains take the jambs from
a hopper and carry them under horizontal arbors on which the dado heads
are mounted. One of the arbors is adjustable to any required angle and the
dado head on this arbor is fitted to automatically track in the gain regardless
of the angle at which the arbor may be set. In working right and left hand
stock the whole of one side is run and the machine shifted for the other side,
the change being very quickly made. The depth of gain is gauged from the
outside of jamb. Greatest angular adjustment of the short arbor is 15 degrees
and the maximum distance between gains is 108". Motor of 5 H. P. may
be belted to the 700 R. P. M. countershaft. Floor space 48"xl44". Weight
2600 lbs.
The New Britain machine works a pair of jambs at once and in addition
to cutting both gains trims the top end to length. The range is for a maximum
distance between gains of 106" and a minimum of 23". Stock to a maximum
width of 8 J4" and as thick as 3 %" may be worked.
The machine is built on a box shaped bed about twelve feet long, which
is mounted on short legs at each end. The top of this bed forms ways on which
the working parts operate. Mounted on these ways are two housings fitted
with vertical ways on which the carriages to which the stock is clamped
operate. The right hand housing is stationary near the end of the ways and
the left hand one is adjustable to any position by means of a handwheel oper-
ated rack and pinion. The housings are adjusted so that one is near each end
of the jamb to be dadoed and the jambs are mounted and clamped, one on
each side of the carriage, thus gauging the depth of the dado from the sur-
face that is cut. This insures exact inside measurement of the frame regardless of
variation in thickness of the jamb. It will be understood that the body of the
clamping carriage against which the jambs are mounted is centered on the
dado head arbor and is exactly one inch less in thickness than the cutting
circle of the dado heads. The jambs being mounted one on each side of the
carriage the depth of dado will be exactly y" unless shims are used on the
carriage to decrease this depth. The main dado head arbor is horizontal and
is mounted in a fixed bearing at the left end of bed and is journaled in the
center of each clamping carriage housing. At the right hand end of bed is
located an auxiliary dado head arbor which is in the same vertical plane as
the main arbor and may be set in alignment therewith but is also subject to
adjustment to a maximum angle of 20 degrees from the horizontal. In opera-
tion the pair of jambs to be dadoed is mounted in the clamping carriages one
on each side of the dado heads and clamped by a movement of the hand levers.
The carriages, which are counter-balanced, are then run down past the cutter
heads by the operation of a large handwheel. One motion of the carriages
cuts both dadoes and trims the jambs to length. The auxiliary arbor carries
the dado head for cutting the angle gain for the sill and is quickly set at any
angle within its range. This arbor is fitted with an automatic device which
follows any angular setting and causes the dado head to track properly in
any groove it is cutting regardless of the angle at which it is set in relation
to the vertical feed of the stock.
Additional housings, clamping carriages and dado heads may be fitted
as required. Each dado head is attached to a housing and travels with thathousing when machine is being set up. The cut-off saws and the collars on
which they are mounted are split for easy removal. Dado heads are of steel,
carry four knives and four spurs and are adjustable for width of cut. The
cutting circle of the heads is standard and is not changed by wear. Machine
is belt driven from a floor countershaft to which a motor of 5 H. P. may be
belted or coupled. Net weight 2200 lbs.

Dovetailing Moulding Machines.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
Hall & Brown Wood Working Machine Co.
S. A. Woods Machine Co.
This type machine is used for running table slides and other stock which
requires an undercut or dovetail groove or a tongue. It comprises a standard
type outside moulder with the addition of two or more spindles set at an
angle and fitted with special saws or heads to undercut the grooves left by
the moulder heads.
The American machine comprises an attachment which is really a com-
plete machine in itself, lacking only a feed mechanism. It is designed for
use in connection with the No. 505 and No. 555 Outside Moulders of that
company and utilizes the feed works of the moulder. The attachment com-
prises a base plate upon which is adjustably mounted a pedestal which carries
two top and two bottom cutter head spindles. These spindles are set at an
adjustable angle from the horizontal and carry either Shimer circular bit
heads or special grooving saws which undercut both sides of the grooves made
by the top and bottom moulder heads. The pedestal is attached to the moulder
frame just in the rear of the bottom head. The moulder outfeed table is swung
down out of the way when the attachment is used. The base plate is provided
with horizontal slides on which the pedestal is transversely adjustable by
screw and handwheel. When running work on which the dovetailing is not
required the attachment is swung around out of the way without disturbing
the set-up. In operation the stock is dressed four sides and straight grooved
top and bottom by the regular moulder heads and passes directly through the
heads of the attachment where the top and bottom grooves are undercut on
both sides. The four cutter head spindles of the attachment are belted from
the main countershaft of the moulder. The option of saws in place of the
Shimer heads is offered and the attachment may be had with either four
or two spindles. Weight of attachment 1250 lbs. Motor of 15 to 25 H. P.,
900 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to the moulder countershaft.
The Woods No. 131 Fast Feed Moulder is built in a special form with
two angle spindles mounted on the frame in the rear of the top head. Thesespindles carry special grooving saws which undercut the groove made by
the top head on one or both sides. The drive to the angle spindles is by belt
from the top cutter head, or from the main countershaft, to a sub-counter-
shaft at the outfeed end of machine, thence by belt to the spindles. Where
electric current is available a much simpler drive is secured by mounting
a small motor directly on the spindle housing and driving the spindle by

Door Relishing and Wedge Cutting Machine.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
Greenlee Bros. & Co.
The operation of door rail relishing involves the cutting down of the
tenon from one or both edges to fit the length of the mortise. Wedges for
wedging the joint on through mortised doors are cut from the surplus material
of the tenon. In the case of wide rails the tenon is cut so that a series of two
or three narrow tenons remain for insertion into independent mortises.
The American No. 8 machine is built on a cored one-piece base which
carries two vertical saw spindles and at one end, vertical ways on which two
horizontal arbors are adjustable. The top and front face of frame furnish
horizontal ways for a sliding carriage. Countershaft is attached at end of
base. In operation the rail to be relished is mounted on edge on the carriage
and traversed past the first arbor, which is mounted in a vertical position
and fitted with two or more saws separated by spacing collars. These saws
reduce the tenon to the required width and number of sections. The second
vertical spindle is mounted in an adjustable yoke and may be set at the re-
quired angle from the vertical to trim the edges of the surplus tenon stock
to the required angle for wedges. Passing this arbor, which carries three or
more collar spaced saws the rail encounters the small saws on the two hori-
zontal arbors. These saws are flush-mounted on the ends of arbors and are
of a size to equal the width of the parts to be removed from the tenon and
they cut loose the wedges and surplus tenon width. Motor of 5 to 7 H. P.
may be belted or coupled to the 700 R. P. M. attached countershaft. Floor

Door Stile Boring Machines, Vertical, Gang Type.
Builders:
Jenkins Machine Co.
Wilkins-Challoner Co.
This type machine is designed for boring dowel door stiles complete at
one operation.
The Jenkins “Hayes” machine is built on a large frame composed of cast
end frames connected by longitudinal girders. The tops of the end frames
form ways on which the clamping carriage operates. The stiles to be bored
are mounted in this carriage in pairs, edge down and are bored one at a time
by a single row of bits which rise from below. The carriage comprises a
central beam and two outside rails located longitudinally at the top of the
machine and fitted to move laterally on the horizontal ways at each end.
Journaled in the beam at each end is a shaft which is fitted with right hand
threads in one of the rails and left hand threads in the other rail. These shafts
are used in adjusting the rails for different thicknesses of stiles as well as for
clamping, and are fitted with spiral springs operating in connection with a
rack and segment mechanism at each end of the machine. The operation of
this mechanism securely clamps the stiles, one on each side of the central
beam, with faces to the beam and also traverses the carriage on the hori-
zontal transverse ways. This lateral travel is governed by positive fixed stops
which locate the stiles in turn over the bits in boring position. In operation
one stile is being bored while the operator is removing the bored stile and
inserting another one. Located lengthwise of the machine below the clamp-
ing carriage is a heavily ribbed, channel type casting which is operated in
vertical ways, at each end, by cams carried on a heavy horizontal shaft and
working against 6" diameter hardened rollers. This beam is counter-weighted
to nearly balance and the cam shaft is driven by a lever controlled clutch.
The yokes which carry the vertical boring spindles are adjustably mounted
on this beam and are readily adjusted to any point required by the use of
a detachable crank handle which is fitted with a sprocket and stud. The
stud is inserted in a hole in the yoke and the sprocket meshes with a stationary
chain mounted in a horizontal position lengthwise of the beam. Each yoke
carries two boring spindles, with bits in the top end, running in babbit bush-
ings at fixed center distances. A special fixture for running the babbit bush-
ings is part of the equipment. The drive to the vertical boring spindles is
from a horizontal shaft 1 %" in diameter which extends lengthwise of the
machine and is fitted with case-hardened spiral gears inclosed in oil-tight
casings. These gears are double splined to the shaft and follow any adjust-
ment of the yokes. The horizontal shaft is driven by Diamond roller chain
running on cut steel sprockets. Floor space 54 "xl74 ". Weight 5400 lbs. Motor
of 10 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be coupled to drive shaft.
The Wilkin-Challoner machine is similar in operation to the foregoing
tool but differs in some details of construction and design. Range is for stiles
up to 90" long. In this machine, as in the Jenkins, a pair of stiles is mountededge down in the automatic clamping carriage and are moved in turn to the
boring station over the single row of bits, mounted in vertical spindles, which
are carried on the cam actuated carriage located below the clamping carriage.
This cam actuated carriage is composed of two polished steel tubes, 3 y2"
in diameter, with walls thick. These tubes are mounted in brackets
at each end and are spaced on 10" centers. The brackets, which receive the
tubes, have a bearing 24" long on vertical ways located on the inside of the
end frames. The bottom of each bracket is connected to a steel link and
rocker arm, which transmits the motion of the cams at each end of the machine.
Mounted on the tubes is a series of brackets which have a 4 " bearing on each
tube, are readily adjustable and are held in position by clamping bolts. The
spindle yokes are mounted on these brackets by means of cap screws and
are located in machined seats so that they may be readily removed and replaced
in exact position. Each yoke carries two vertical boring spindles which are
mounted in bronze bushings. The two spindles are connected by cut steel
spur gears located between the bearings. One of the spindles projects through
the lower bearing and carries a bevel gear which meshes with a gear on the
main driving shaft, which runs in a bronze bushed bearing 2 14" long, located
at the bottom of each yoke. The end bearings of the drive shaft are located
in the ends of the carriage and the shaft and bearings project through the end
frames in slots which provide for the vertical carriage motion. The end bearings
are 8" long and the drive pulley is located close to one of them. All gears
are cased in and the carriage is counter-balanced. Floor space 60"xl44".
Weight 4500 lbs. Motor of 10 H. P., 900 R. P. M., may be coupled to drive

These machines are used for gluing the holes in dowel door rails and
driving the dowels therein. The dowels are fed automatically from a hopper.
The Bell No. 7 machine is built on an iron frame and is fitted with patented
glue injectors which rise from the glue, tilt forward into the holes and dis-
charge a predetermined and adjustable amount of glue into each hole. From
one to four holes may be glued and doweled at each stroke of the machine.
The frame carries at the rear a gear driven crank shaft, a table for the rail
at the front and in the center between crank shaft and table, a hopper for
the dowels. Dowels shorter than 2 may be thrown loosely into the hopper,
longer lengths must be piled in regular order in the hopper. The rails are
mounted on the table against suitable stops and the gluing and dowel driving
are accomplished without change of position. The dowels are taken from
pockets at the base of the hopper by steel fingers, mounted in a carriage which
is operated in horizontal ways by the crank shaft, and pushed into the holes.
Strokes of the driving carriage are controlled by pedal through a clutch.
Floor space 36"x72". Weight 1400 lbs. Motor of 1 to 2 H. P. may be belted

the rails and the dowels are fed automatically from hoppers.
The machine is built on a heavy base plate which carries the stationary
housing at the right, and at the left a housing which is adjustable by power
driven screw to any point on the horizontal ways of the base plate. Rails
are fed from the hopper by a carriage which travels in steel guides and is
actuated by a cam operated rocker arm and links. This carriage locates the
rail successively at the gluing and driving stations. The horizontally sliding
carriages which carry the driving punches are operated by direct-acting cams
as are the glue fingers. All cam rollers and studs are of ample size and are
case hardened. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the 125 R. P. M. drive
shaft. Weight 3500 lbs.

Door Rail Boring, Gluing and Pin Driving Machine, Double-End.
Builders:
Jenkins Machine Co.
Wilkin-Challoner Co.
This is the most advanced type of rail machine now built. It is a full
automatic, hopper feeding machine which combines the operations of boring
the dowel holes, gluing them and driving the pins therein at one operation.
The Jenkins machine is built on a cored, one-piece base plate which pro-
vides horizontal ways for the power adjusted housing at the left and for the
fixed housing which is mounted at the right hand end of ways. Each of the
housings is fitted with complete feeding, boring, gluing and dowel driving
mechanism. The rails to be worked are taken from a hopper by reciprocating
feed bars, which are fitted with gravity lugs and are gear driven through
slotted bars and disc cranks. The lugs on these feed bars carry the rails to the
first or boring station and advance them in succession to the gluing and
driving stations, finally discharging them at the rear of the machine. The
gravity lugs on the backward stroke of the bars pass under the rails, which
are firmly clamped at the several stations. At the boring station four bits
are carried on horizontal spindles at each end of the rail. These spindles are
mounted on a cam actuated carriage and are driven direct from the main
shaft by cut steel gears. Centers are 2	" and are not adjustable. The cams
which operate the bit carriages are designed to give a gradually accelerating
infeed and a quick return. At the gluing station glue is injected into each
hole by an independent pump and the rail passes to the driving station, where
the dowels are fed from large capacity hoppers at each end of machine and
are forced into the holes by punches mounted on a cam operated carriage.
At each stroke of the machine the hoppers holding the dowels are twice agitated
to insure the dowels feeding into the pockets at the base, in position for driv-
ing. At each operating station rubber faced, cam actuated pressure bars
descend and hold the rail firmly in position. These pressure bars, together
with all other essential parts are adjusted by screws and handwheels. Floor
space 72"xl56". Weight 6700 lbs. Motor of 10 H. P. may be belted to the
600 R. P. M. drive shaft.
The Wilkin-Challoner machine is a combination of the Double-End
Rail Borer (451) and the Double-End Gluer and Driver (454) of that com-
pany, on one base, and has capacity to complete 20 to 35 rails per minute.
This machine is built on a box type base plate which is fitted with horizontalways for the two housings, one stationary and the other adjustable by power.
In this machine the feed of the rails from the hopper involves endless, milled,
steel chains fitted with dogs at regular intervals. The connecting pins of the
chain links at the points where dogs are located, project from the inside of
the chain, and are err. p'oyed as stops to locate the rails exactly at the several
operating stations, When the chain has reached the proper position a cam
actuated mechanism raises a steel bar which makeih contact with the pro-
jecting pin and makes a positive stop. The position of this stop bar is adjust-
able by screw and handwheel to locate the holes at any distance from the
edge of rails up to a maximum of 2 The feed chains are operated by a
pair of gear driven, cam controlled, friction discs which are so adjusted as
to place the rail positively in position but are loose enough to slip in case
of a jam and thus save breakage of machine parts. All the movements of
the machine are operated by a train of heavy pitch, wide faced, large diameter,
cut steel, spur gears. The bit spindles run in bronze bushings and are driven
direct from main shaft by cut steel spur gears. The rails, in passing through
the machine, are at all times under independently adjustable spring tension
and at the boring station are clamped by powerful, cam operated rocker
arms, which take all the wind out of the stock. The gluing and dowel driving
operations are accomplished in the same manner as on the Double-End Gluer
and Driver (454). Range is for rails of a maximum length of 42". Motor of
7 ^ to 10 H. P. may be belted to the 600 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor space

Dowel Pin Cutting and Pointing Machines, Automatic.
Builders:
Bell Machine Co.
Jenkins Machine Co.
Wilkin-Challoner Co.
This machine is employed in cutting and pointing the dowel pins used
in dowel doors and other dowelled joints. The rods from which the pins are
cut are run in long, random lengths and are fed to this machine, which automati-
cally cuts them to the required length and at the same operation points both
ends to facilitate driving.
The Bell No. 5 machine is built on a cored base on which is mounted
a vertical, worm gear spindle which carries the circular stock feeding turret.
At the periphery of this turret is located a vertical saw arbor which is bevel
gear driven from the horizontal countershaft mounted in base of machine. This
arbor carries at its top end a thin cut-off saw flanked on each side by a thick,
bevel edged saw. The turret is fitted with a series of twenty vertical tubes
equally spaced around its circumference and of a size to receive loosely the
rods from w7hich the pins are to be cut. These tubes are provided near the
bottom with a transverse slot into which the cut-off saw7 projects. In operation
the tubes are filled with rods of random lengths and the feed started. The
lowrer ends of the rods rest by gravity on a stop which gauges the length to
which the pin is cut. The tubes are pivoted on the turret and as they approach
the cut-off saws they are automatically diverted into a path which follows the
arc of a circle of the same diameter as the sawTs. As the rods pass through
this arc they are revolved within the tubes by a spring pressure so that the
ends are chamfered all around by the bevel edged saws located above and
below the cut-off saw. The severed and pointed pins are discharged from
the machine and the remainder of the rod, if long enough to make another
pin, is retained by spring tension and as it revolves with the turret is allowed
to again drop upon the stop and continue around to the cut-off saw where
the process is repeated. If the part of the rod remaining is too short to make
another pin it is discharged separately and not mixed with the perfect pins.
Motor of 2 H. P. mav be belted to the 1050 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor space
22 "x36 ". Weight 625 lbs.The Jenkins No. 122 machine is built on a cored base with vertical,
bolted-on housing at the rear, which carries an arm with a vertical saw
arbor at its outer end. This housing also carries two vertically adjustable
saddles in which are journaled horizontal cutter head arbors. The vertical
saw arbor and the two horizontal arbors are driven by belts from a horizontal
countershaft carried on arms extending at the rear from the base of machine.
Rising from the base in front of the housing are two vertical shafts which
are gear driven from a horizontal shaft, which in turn is driven by three-step
cone pulleys from main countershaft. Gears are housed within the cored
base plate. The vertical shaft on the right carries a turret with 24 vertical
openings in which the rods to be cut are mounted and revolved against the
cut-off saw on the vertical arbor, where they are cut to the required length,
and as they pass the cut-off saw are automatically transferred to a pair of
notched discs carried on the left hand vertical shaft. These notched discs
carry the pins in a vertical position between the cutter heads on the horizontal
arbors where both ends are pointed. The stub end of rod remaining after
all the pins possible have been cut is automatically ejected seperately from
the perfect pins. Motor of 1 to 2 H. P. may be belted to the 1050 R. P. M.
countershaft. Floor space 45 "x48 "x30 " high. Weight 1000 lbs.
The Wilkin-Challoner machine is built on a cored base plate with counter-
shaft mounted at the rear and a vertical bevel gear driven shaft at the front
on which the turret is mounted. The cut-off saw is carried on a vertical arbor
located at the periphery of the turret and about forty-five degrees removed
from the pointing heads which are mounted on vertically and horizontally
adjustable, horizontal arbors. All three arbors are belt driven from the counter-
shaft. When the rods mounted in the vertical turret tubes pass the saw the
pins, as they are cut off, drop by gravity into a lower socket and pass to the
pointing heads, while the remainder of the rod is lifted by a curved track
and passes over the pointing station and is again presented to the saw. The
cutter heads are of solid type and the A "xl" high speed steel knives are clamped
in milled slots. All adjustments are by screw and handwheels and all high
speed bfearings are of bronze. Motor of 2 H. P. may be coupled to the 925

Dowel Pin Machines, Extrusion Type.
Builders:
E. & B. Holmes Machinery Co.
The Holmes No. 21 machine is used for making dowel pins for tight barrel
heads and operates on the extrusion principle, which involves the forcing
of a rough blank through a stationary die which gives it the required shape.
The machine is built on a horizontal cast iron bed mounted on legs and fitted
with a horizontal, gear driven crank shaft and a die holder. The stock comes
to this machine in the form of blanks which have been cross cut to form
blocks of a length equal to the length of pin required. The machine first,
by the action of stationary tools actuated by the crank shaft, splits the
block into blanks of a size to make the required pins. These blanks are then
forced through a roughing die which reduces the blank to the approximate
size and circular shape. This blank is then forced through a finishing die
which finishes the pin smooth and true to size. Three pins are produced at
each stroke of the crank shaft, and the capacity is 4000 to 5000 pins per hour.

Dowel Turning Machines, Bench Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Hall & Brown Wood Working Machine Co.
H. B. Smith Machine Co.
This type machine is used for producing dowels or round rods in small
quantities.
The machine involves a yoke which provides bearings for the hollow,
horizontal, cutter head spindle and is designed for mounting on any con-
venient bench with the spindle belt driven from an overhead countershaft
or motor. The cutter head is mounted on the end of the spindle and is
machined with a concentric hole of the exact size of the rod required to be
made« The cutter head is usually fitted with two knives and revolves around
the square to be turned, which is fed by hand through a rest with square
hole, (which prevents the blank from turning under the action of the knives,)
into the head. The knives and the mouth of the cutter head are so shaped as
to gradually reduce the square to a round which fills the bore of the head and
steadies the blank while it is being run. The knives are set at an angle which
draws the stock into the head with little effort on the operator’s part. The
arbor driving pulley is mounted between the bearings, which extend within
the pulley for the purpose of making the spindle as short as possible. A different
size head is required for every size rod turned.
The American machine of this class is built in three sizes to turn rods
to maximum sizes of % ", 1 ^ ' and 1 % This machine embodies a cored yoke
with integral extension for the guide block and competent self-oiling babbitted
bearings. Motor of 2 to 5 H. P. may be mounted overhead and belted direct

The essential features of this type machine, which is used for turning
rolls and dowels in quantities, are a cast pedestal, usually of cored, box type,
on the top of which is mounted the yoke which journals the hollow, horizontal
cutter head arbor with pulley between bearings. At the front end of this
arbor a cutter head, usually fitted with two knives, is mounted. In front
of this cutter head a pair of “V” grooved rolls are mounted on shafts at right
angles with the arbor and at the rear of the arbor one or more pairs of circular
grooved rolls are mounted. The rolls are all carried on gear driven shafts and
are removable. The infeed rolls are fitted with an equalizing mechanism
whereby they open and close with an equal motion and present the square
blank centrally with the hole in the cutter head. The roll driving mechanism
is fitted with two or more forward speeds and a reverse. The bearings of the
hollow arbor are necessarily of large diameter and are short as compared toNo. 459, Continued
their diameter, for the purpose of bringing the in and outfeed rolls on close
centers. The bearings are designed so as to extend within the pulley as far
as possible. The head is fitted with a concentric hole equal in size to the re-
quired diameter of rod and is revolved around the stationary blank, which
is held from turning, and fed through the head by the rolls. Principle of
operation is exactly the same as the bench machines, with the addition of
power feed.
The American Figure 1015 machine is built in three sizes with capacities
to turn rods to ", 1 yi" and 2" diameter. Stock of a minimum length of
8", 16"/20" can be turned on these machines. Feed rolls are mounted on

Dowel Turning Machines, Power Feed, Sleeve Type.
Builders:
Bell Machine Co.	Jenkins Machine Co.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.	The Tannewitz Works.
W. S. Hawker Mfg. Co.
This is a more modern type of machine, designed for the same class of
work as the preceding tools. The most important feature involved in this
improved machine is a sleeve, which is stationary inside the hollow arbor
and is fitted with a square hole through which the blank is fed to the cutter
head. The office of this sleeve, which extends from the infeed rolls close up
to the cutter head, which is located on the rear end of arbor, is to steady the
blank as it is cut and thus lessen the liability of its twisting off under the
strain of the cut. The length of unsupported stock between the feed rolls
on the older type of machines is, especially in turning the smaller sizes of
rods, quite likely to twist off. Much shorter stock can be worked on this
machine than on the older type. Another important feature of this type
machine is the adjustable cutter head, which may be set to turn any size
rod within the range of the machine.
The Bell No. 4 machine is built in one size and is designed for producing
rods from fir" to 2" in diameter. Spiral and longitudinally grooved as well
as imitation reed wound stock is readily produced by proper tooling. The
machine is built on a one-piece, cored, open type frame which carries the
cutter head arbor yoke and the feed roll shaft housings at the top, with the
feed roll drive gearing inside the frame below the table. The horizontal feed
roll drive shaft, with two-step cone pulley, is mounted on outside of frame.
The cutter head arbor is mounted in completely inclosed, high grade ball
bearings, carries four knives and is adjustable to any size within the range
of the machine. The feed works are driven by an inclosed steel chain and
gears and a square jaw, steel faced reversing clutch is incorporated. The
infeed rolls are mounted on horizontal gear driven shafts between bearings
and are adjustable for any size square. The outfeed rolls involve a pair of
sleeves which carry a series of half round grooves, any pair of which may
be set to register with the cutter head. These rolls, like the infeed, are mounted
on horizontal gear driven shafts between bearings. Four forward feeds and
a reverse are fitted. The four cutter head knives may be shaped to feed stock
either way through the machine, and in turning small rods the stock is sup-
ported risrht up to the cutting point. The cutter head is covered by a cast iron
hood with exhaust connection. A small cut-off saw arbor may be fitted on
the main frame and driven by a belt from the overhead countershaft. This
is used for cutting out defects in the stock before turning. Motor of 5 to 7 'A
H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be coupled to the overhead countershaft. Weight
1100 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 406 machine is built on a cored, one-piece, open type
base which carries the cutter head arbor yoke and the feed roll shaft housings
at the top and the countershaft with two-step cone feed pulley on an extension
of the base. Motor of 5 to 7 y2 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be direct coupled
to this countershaft. The cutter head arbor is mounted in high grade ball
bearings, carries removable, non-adjustable heads and is fitted with a square
hole sleeve which extends through the arbor and supports the square close
to the cutting point. The cutter head is fitted with thin, self-hardening steel
knives set to give a shear cut. Two rates of feed, with 100 F. P. M. maximum,
are available. Two infeed and two outfeed rolls are carried on horizontal
gear driven shafts. A separate cutter head, sleeve and set of four feed rolls
is required for each size turned. Floor space 39"x42". Range of this machine
is for rods up to 2" diameter.
The Hawker machine is built in six sizes, any of which may be had in the
belted or in the attached motor driven type. The latter type involves a special
motor of ball bearing, double extended shaft type, mounted on the pedestalNo. 460, Continued
at the approximate cutter head level and belted to the arbcr by belt inclosed
in a cast iron casing. The same motor may be mounted overhead if desired,
with the advantage of a longer driving belt. This machine is especially well
adapted to the production of spiral grooved, and longitudinally corrugated
rods, imitation reed wound stock, etc. Special tooling is required for this
class of work. It may also be fitted for chucking tenons on round or square
stock and rectangular stock may be worked by the use of special flat faced
rolls. Implement and other handles requiring a straight turned portion in
combination with a square end of any length, are very nicely produced by
the use of an adjustable stop on the reverse lever, which is tripped by the
handle in its passage through the machine. The design of the machine con-
templates a cored, box type pedestal of square section, which carries the
ball bearing cutter head arbor and the feed rolls at the top. All gearing, includ-
ing the two friction cone clutches and the main driving gear, with spring
center, for protection of the entire feed works, is housed within the pedestal
where it is free from dust and dirt and from liability of injury to operator.
The arbor, in the four smaller machines, is mounted in high grade ball bear-
ings housed in an oil-tight casing, and in the two larger machines is mounted
in interchangeable bronze bushings. Cutter head is forged integral with arbor
and carries four high-speed steel knives, which are adjusted simultaneously by
means of a graduated ring, to cut any size within the range of the machine.
The feed may be in either direction, differently shaped cutters being required
for each direction. In turning rods under 1" diameter the blank is fed through
a sleeve with square hole which extends through the arbor and supports the
stock close to the cut. Blanks of a minimum length of 5" may be thus turned.
Rods of a diameter of 1" and up are turned in the reverse direction, and the
blanks must have a minimum length of 14". The arbor pulley on the small-
est machine is 4" diameter by 3 M" face, and on the largest, 12" diameter by
8" face. The feed rolls, which are mounted on vertical shafts, are interchange-
able from one end of machine to the other. The feed roll shafts are set on 13"
centers and are driven at three feed rates, ranging from 40 to 100 F. P. M.
An arbor with small cut-off saw may be fitted to pedestal and driven from
countershaft for use in cutting out defects prior to turning.

The Jenkins “Dauber” machine is built on a cored, box type pedestal
of rectangular section, which carries the yoke for cutter head arbor, the feed
roll shaft housings and a sub-shaft on the top and the self-contained feed
works on the side of pedestal. Drive is by means of one belt from an over-
head countershaft or motor of 5 to 7 M H. P., 1200 to 1800 R. P. M. This
belt drives a horizontal sub-shaft located on the top of pedestal parallel with
the cutter head arbor. The arbor is driven from this sub-shaft by means
of steel and rawhide spur gears, the object being to eliminate belt strain on
the arbor bearings, which are fitted with interchangeable bronze bushings
and ball thrust bearing. The feed works are also driven from the sub-shaft, so
that the feed rate at all times is in accord with the cutter head speed The
cutter head is adjustable to cut any size rods within the range of the machine
and carries four high-speed steel knives which are made from bar stock with out
forging or machining other than grinding. The feed works comprise two
infeed and two outfeed rolls mounted on the ends of horizontal gear driven
shafts, The lower infeed roll is “V” grooved and receives the comer of thesquare. The top infeed roll is square faced, fluted, and runs on the top comer
of the square. The lower feed roll shafts are driven by steel roller chains from
the clutch shaft and the upper roll shafts are driven from the lower by steel
spur gears. Two feed rates, 80 and 90 F. P. M. and a reverse are available.
The squares are held firmly to within ^ of the cutting point by a collapsible
sleeve which extends through the arbor. This sleeve is fitted with an equaliz-
ing device which enables it to open for overszied squares and still present them
centrally with the cutter head. The pressure of this sleeve on the square
is adjustable by one thumb screw. Minimum length stock turned is 8^".
The Tannewitz machine, formerly known as the Crescent, is built in three
sizes, turning rods from &" to 2 " diameter. Spiral and longitudinally grooved
rods as well as imitation reed wound stock are produced by special tooling.
This machine is built regularly in the single type but may be furnished in
the double type comprising two complete units of cutter head arbor, feed
rolls, etc., mounted on one pedestal and driven from one countershaft. On
some classes of work this double type machine will practically double the
output per operator. This machine is built on a cored, box type pedestal of
rectangular section, on the top of which is mounted the cutter head arbor,
feed roll shaft housings, and a short jack shaft which is belt driven from the
cutter head arbor. The feed roll shafts are driven from this jack shaft in a
very direct manner by means of worm and gears. The feed works as regularly
fitted, involve four outfeed rolls, two on horizontal shafts which are driven,
and two idle rolls mounted on vertical shafts. Infeed rolls are not usually
fitted but may be furnished on order. All rolls are spring tensioned and are
self-centering. The cutter head carries two high-speed steel knives and is
of the non-adjustable type. Stationary sleeve with square hole extends
through the arbor and supports the square close to the cut. A separate cutter
head, sleeve and set of rolls is required for each size turned. Motor of 3 to
7 X H. P. may be mounted over head and belted direct to the arbor. This
is a simple, well built tool of rather light weight and is best adapted to the
production of the smaller sizes of rods. Weights 450 lbs. to 850 lbs.

The Fay-Egan No. 404 machine is designed for running pencil stock
in round or hexagon shapes, flag sticks, skewTers, rods and dowels and similar
stock. The maximum width stock worked is three inches, and the table drops
the same distance. The machine is built on a one-piece frame which carries
the horizontal top and bottom cutter head arbors, the feed works, the table
and the countershaft, which is mounted at the outfeed end of machine. The
cutter head arbors are mounted in clamp type bearings, carry slip-on Shimer
type heads with three circular cutters, and are driven by one belt with auto-
matic take-up. The top head cuts first and is followed very closely by the
bottom head. The feed works comprise two driven top infeed rolls with idle
bed rolls beneath them, and a top and bottom, driven, rubber covered out-
feed roll. All gears are cut and are incased. Feed rates of 25 and 40 F. P.M.
are available. In running dowels or similar stock, blanks of any width up
to the maximum of 3" are fed and are cut at one operation into as many
dowels as the width will make. The bed plates and pressure bars are shaped
to agree with the pattern being run. Motor of 7 to 10 H. P., 900 R. P. M.,
may be coupled to countershaft. Floor space 39"x72".
The Wilkin-Challoner machine is designed especially for running rods
for door dowels and is fitted to, rip and size the squares and shape them into
rods on the same machine. This machine is built on a one-piece frame whichcarries at the left a table fitted with a chain driven feed roll. Located beneath
this table is a horizontal arbor which carries a small rip saw projecting through
the table. Above the table is located a second horizontal arbor which is fitted
with a short jointing head. The stock being fed over the table, a square,
accurately sized by the combination of saw and cutter head, is produced at
each passage. At the opposite or right hand side of frame is a heavy cast
beam with milled “V” groove and top and bottom cutter heads. The bottom
cutter head is mounted on the opposite end of the arbor, which carries the
jointing head on the ripping side of the machine and the top head is carried
on an arbor mounted on a vertically adjustable saddle. 1’he blank, which
has been accurately sized to fit the “V” groove, is fed through these heads
by feed rolls on horizontal shafts, and a perfectly true and accurately sized
rod is produced. The jointing head is of the thin knife, round type and the
rounding heads are of the Shimer type. All arbors are belted from the attached
countershaft to which a motor of 5 H. P., 900 to 1200 R. P. M., may be
coupled. Floor space 42"x56". Weight 2000 lbs. The output of this machine
when used in combination with a dowel cutter and pointer, is sufficient to
produce pins for 1500 doors per day, with two operators. When ripping the
two operators work together and then one sticks the rods and the other cuts
and points the pins.

J. A. Fay & Egan Co.	Jones Superior Machine Co.
This machine involves a frame or pedestal upon which is mounted a
horizontal shaft with tight and loose pulleys between bearings, and a disc
on one or both ends of the shaft. Stationary or adjustable tables are located
in front of the disc or discs at about the center line. The discs are covered
by felt or carpet cushions and the abrasive paper discs are held in position
by some form of mechanical clamping device. The disadvantage of any form
of disc sanding machine lies in the fact that the rotation at the center of the
disc is so slow as to render quite a large area of the paper of very little use.
These machines are used for sending boxes and similar work as well as for
square and angular edge work where special accuracy is not required.
The American No. 6 machine is built on a ccred pedestal and may be
fitted with one or two discs 30", 36", 42" or 48" in diameter. The discs are
of cast iron, turned true and fitted with four segmental clamping rings for
attaching the abrasive paper. The tables are of wood or iron and are adjust-
able vertically and are also fitted with an angular adjustment. The base of
pedestal may be extended to receive a motor of 3 to 5 H. P., which is belted
direct to the horizontal shaft. Floor space 48"x68". Weights 1200 lbs. to

This machine is a development and refinem'ent of the older type of
cushioned disc sander (462) and is essentially a precision tool capable of pro-
ducing very accurate work. It is sometimes called a patternmaker’s disc
grinder, but its use is by no means confined to that trade, as it is largely used
in furniture and fine cabinet workaj A typical machine of this class involves
a cored pedestal which carries a horizontal shaft fitted on one or both ends
with a true running, accurately balanced, detachable, metal disc to wThich
circles of abrasive paper or cloth are cemented. In front of the discs are located
accurately fitted, fully adjustable tables, which carry accurate and complete
stops and gauges.
The American No. 7 machine is built on a heavy, cored base which
measures 26"x31" on the floor. This base carries at the top, in dustproof
ball bearings, a horizontal arbor upon the end of which a semi-steel disc %"
thick by 30" in diameter, is detachably mounted. This disc is accurately
balanced and is machined to hold the cement used in applying the circles of
abrasive paper. The cast iron table in front of the disc is vertically adjust-
able in hand-fitted ways. This adjustment is very easily made by reason
of protected counter-weights and a pedal which overcomes the friction of
the ways. The table is also horizontally adjustable to or from the discs and
may be tilted to 10 degrees above or 45 degrees below a horizontal line
at right angles with the face of disc. The table is accurately machined and
is fitted with a full set of slides and gauges for duplicate work. Discs may
be mounted on one or both ends of the main arbor. Motor of 5 H. P.
may be mounted on attached bracket and belted direct to the drive shaft,
using an automatic belt tightener. Disc makes 750 R. P. M. Floor space
48"x60". Weight of double disc machine 2800 lbs.
The Besley Type “A” machine comprises a heavy, cored pedestal which
carries at the top in bushed bearings, a horizontal arbor 2y2" in diameter.
On the side of the pedestal is mounted a motor of 3 to 5 H. P. with built-in
belt tightener which drives the arbor, by belt to pulley between bearings,
at 750 R. P. M. On the end of arbor is mounted an accurately machined and
balanced steel disc 30" in diameter by %" thick to the face of which the circles
of abrasive material are cemented by the use of a special press, which is part
of the equipment. Located slightly in the rear of and at one side of the disc
is a vertical steel column 4" in diameter, on wThich is mounted a universally
adjustable table of accurately machined cast iron 14"x40" in size. This table
is counter-balanced and is vertically adjustable on the steel column within
a range of 25". It is also fitted with angular adjustment by means of worm,
segment, gear and handwheel. All table adjustments are indicated on graduated
segments, and the center of the angular motion of the table is in the face of
the disc, so that the edge of the table remains within & " of the face of the
disc, regardless of its angular adjustment. The table is fitted with very com-
plete stops and gauges for duplicate work and the entire table and housing
may be swung clear of the disc, pivoting on the steel column. This machine
has a floor bearing 30 "x32 " and requires an operating space of about 96 "x96".No. 463, Continued

This type sander is used principally in sash, door and interior trim factories
for sanding large flat surfaces which are beyond the range of the regular roll
feed machines. It is being displaced to a large extent by various types of
hand block belt sanding machines which for most work are far superior.
The machine is designed along the same lines as the arm or radial borer
(210) and boring attachments are often fitted to the sander, and vice-versa.
The construction involves a yoke designed for mounting vertically on a side
wall or post. This yoke is fitted with a vertical countershaft and the bearings
are fitted to pivot, concentrically with this shaft, an arm 24" to 30" long
which carries at its outer end a vertical spindle with two pulleys. This spindle
is belted from the countershaft and pivots concentrically a second arm, which
carries on its outer end a vertical spindle driven by belt from the intermediate
shaft with double pulley. This outer spindle is splined in the bore of a sleeved
pulley and has a hand lever operated vertical motion and is fitted with spring
tension. At the lower end of spindle a sand disc of the cushioned type and
about 6" or 8" in diameter, is mounted. Some types of this machine are built
with hollow cored arms which serve as exhaust ducts, the suction coming
from a small fan mounted concentrically with and driven by the main counter-
shaft. In operation the motion of the disc is controlled over a large area by
a handle on the end of the outer arm. The table on which the stock to be
sanded is mounted must be vertically adjustable and is usually built at the
plant where machine is used.

The triple drum machine in either the roll or endless bed type is con-
sidered the standard sanding machine and is used extensively in all kinds of
wood working. Generally speaking the roll feed machine is best adapted
to the larger class of work and the endless bed feed to small and medium work.
The American “Columbia” machine is built in widths for stock 31",
37", 43", 49", 55", 61", 67", 73", 79" and 85" wide and regularly opens for
stock 8 " thick but may be fitted to open 12 ". This machine is built on a cored,
box type base and carries the three drums below the bed. Mounted above
the bed is the heavy top frame which carries the upper feed and pressure
rolls and is vertically adjustable in ways at each comer of the frame by meansNo. 478, Continued
of four power driven screws fitted with bearings top and bottom Fine ad-
justment is by a large handwheel. The drums are cast in one piece of semi-
steel and are accurately turned, ground and balanced. The paper fastening
mechanism involves an automatic device for taking up the stretch in the paper
while the drums are running. Each drum is fitted with an independent, parallel,
vertical adjustment by wedges operated by handwheels grouped at operating
station. Any one of three feed rates is instant!}' available through a lever
and segment operated, jaw clutch and gear mechanism which also provides
for instant stoppage of feed. Four top and four bottom feed rolls are gear
driven and a large pressure roll over the center of each drum runs idle. Two
methods of drive are offered the first of which involves a silent chain drive
from the last or fine drum to the center drum and a similar chain drive from
the center to the first or coarse drum. In this drive the last or fine drum
is driven by belt from countershaft or motor. The optional drive involves
the same chain drive from drum to drum but in this case the fine drum from
which the other drums are driven is driven by silent chain from a motor
mounted on outfeed end of machine. Feed works in either case are driven by
silent chain and all chains are covered by cast iron casings. The machine
can also be furnished with the old type drive involving a belt to each drum
shaft from a countershaft mounted on or below the floor. Motors of 20 to
45 H. P. are required. Floor space 62 " long by 77 " to 131" wide. Weights range
from 7700 lbs. to 13,600 lbs.
The American machine is also built in a direct motor driven, beltless
type. The design of this improved tool contemplates mounting the motor
of a 10 H. P., 1800 R. P. M., motor directly on each drum shaft. The drums
are 11" in diameter and the motor rotor oscillates through the stator with
the drum shaft. Independent motor is used for driving the feed. General
features of the belt driven machine are embodied.
The Fay-Egan “Lightning” machine is built in widths to work stock
30", 36", 42", 48", 54", 60", 66", 72" and 80" wide. The machine is built

top frame which carries the top feed and pressure rolls adjusts vertically on
round steel posts at each corner by means of power driven screws with hand
wheel for fine adjustment. Links are fitted for coupling the bed, with bed
plates and feed rolls to the top frame so that the bed as a unit may be raised
clear of the drums by the power hoist. Drums involve heavy steel shells
mounted on cast iron spiders, ground true and covered with a combination
rubber and felt cushion. The paper fastening mechanism enbodies an automatic
take-up which will take slack in the paper while machine is in operation.
Motor of 20 to 45 H. P. 1200 R. P. M. may be coupled to the countershaft
which drives the three drums by independent belts or independent motors
may be mounted on cast iron pedestals and coupled direct to the drum shafts.

This type machine in common with all endless bed machines is especially
adapted to the sanding of small stock which will not reach from roll to roll
on the roll feed machines. By reasonn of the rubber shod bed slight variation
in the thickness of stock do not affect the feed. The design of this type machine
may also be utilized for hopper feeding as the endless bed extends some distance
beyond the upper, cross girt at the infeed end. This girt is near enough the
bed to prevent any but the bottom piece of a pile of stock from feeding into
the machine.

may be coupled to the countershaft which drives the drums and feed works
by independent belts. Floor space 58"x75". All gears are cut from the solid
and are inclosed.
In offering the Solem Two-Drum Endless Bed Sander the builders make
the following statement.
“In submitting this drum sander for your consideration we wish to call
attention to the vast improvment made in planing machines during the last
few years. The quality of work which these machines produce eliminates
the need of making a semi-planer of a drum sander, also to insure perfect
surfaces for the finishing room it is today universally admitted that the sur-
faces must be either touched up by hand or belt sanded. Machines for the
latter operation are in universal use regardless of the type of drum sander
operated.”
The Solem machine is built on a heavy one-piece frame in one size, 37 "x6 ".
The drums are mounted side by side upon the top of the frame and located
beneath them is the vertically adjustable bed. Drums are built up on high
carbon steel shafts and involve cast steel webs covered by a steel shell which
is machined inside and out. Steel gripper rolls are employed to secure the paper
and sectional, spring steel take-up fingers provide automatic tension. The
felt cushion covers are also fitted with automatic take-up for the slack. Each
drum is fitted with an independent parallel vertical adjustment from operating
station as well as a separate adjustment for each end of the drum. Oscillating
motion is driven from the feed shaft by means of two cut steel, bevel gears.
Brushes are mounted on a cast iron cylinder which is carried in a housing
extending the full width of bed. This housing is pivotally mounted, and is
adjusted by one screw. An exhaust hood which covers the entire top of machine
and is fitted with exhaust connection at each side of each drum is standard

well lubricated replacable ways and is driven by an incased steel roller
chain. Twro feed rates, 12 and 15 F. P. M. are controlled by hand lever and
clutch. All gears are cut and the sprocket shafts and loose sprockets are bronze
bushed. Twro revolving brashes are fitted one to clean the endless bed and
the other to clean the sanded stock. The drums are composed of cast iron
sections turned, and balanced separately, and mounted on a ground steel
shaft and again balanced. Improved paper fastening device with automatic
take-up for slack is fitted. The second and third drums are fitted with oscillat-
ing motion, and the first drum is left to float laterally so that it has a freer
cut. All drams are independently adjustable vertically, and are fitted
with graduated scales to indicate the amount of cut which is governed by
the distance the drums are set below the stationary platens, against which
the stock is held by the combined action of the rubber bed pads and the springs
upon which the bed is mounted. Drams are driven by one belt from the counter-
shaft to first drum. Center dram is driven by a silent chain from the first,
drum, and the third drum is silent-chain driven from the center drum. Feed
is also driven by a silent chain. A quadruple hood with one terminal opening

Drum Sanding Machines, Combination Endless Bed and Roll Feed,
Three-Drum.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
The American machine of the above type is built in one size 43" wide,
and is a radical departure from the usual construction of either the roll feed
or the endless bed type of machine. The machine is designed for the purpose
of^ combining the advantages of both types.
The machine as a whole embodies the general features of the Columbia
roll feed machines of the American Co. The three drums are mounted below
the stationary bed which is fitted with feed rolls, bed plates, etc. along the
same lines as a standard roll feed machine. The endless bed which involves
the usual slatted, rubber pad features is mounted in the top frame above the
bed and drums and assists the table rolls to feed the stock. The rolls are spaced
on 14 " centers and stock too short to reach from roll to roll is fed by the endless
chain. For use in hopper feeding short stock, an auxiliary rubber faced feed
bed is mounted in the infeed end of bed and extends nearly to the first infeed
roll. The top of this endless bed is flush with the bed plates, and it, in connection
with an auxiliary driven feed roll at the extreme end of bed, assists in the
fullest utilization of the hopper feeding possibilities of this type machine.
The machine may be driven in the same manner as the regular Columbia
machine by means of independent belts from a countershaft to which motor
of 20 to 25 H. P. may be belted or coupled or motors may be coupled direct
to each drum shaft. Floor space 96"x96". Weight 11,200 lbs.

is also built for use on planers and moulders. The sander type rolls are competent
to care for a maximum variation in the stock of about A " and involve sections
1", 2" or 2 %" wide of a minimum diameter of 3". Their use in sanding
machines besides permitting the feeding of strips and other stock varying
slightly in thickness is principally to eliminate vibration between the stock
and rolls.No. 487.

Pneumatic Sanding Drums and Pads.
Builders:
Mattison Machine Works.
Redin, Ekstrom Co.
Oliver Machinery Co.
Pneumatic sand drums which involve a fabric and rubber receptacle
of the proper shape which is inflated to a greater or less degree and carries
the abrasive paper or belt in a shape to agree with the shape of the inflated
drum are used for many kinds of difficult sanding in chair and furniture work.
Saddle or hollowed chair seats, Queen Anne legs and other work of like nature
is readily handled. The abrasive paper may be directly on the drum or the
drum may be used as an idle roll for a sand belt to travel on. In any method
of operation the principle involved is the forming of a flexible surface which
will allow the sand paper to readily accommodate itself to the shape being
sanded.
Drums of this type as made by the Redin, Ekstrom Co. are furnished
in standard sizes of 2", 3", 4", 6", 8" diameter by 9" long. Any size required
can however be made to order. Standard constructuon involves two carefully
machined, cast iron heads which are screwed to the ends of a heavy brass
tube about 9" long making an air-tight joint. Over these heads is fitted a
rubber tube which is clamped to the outer circumference of each head by
a brass ring. To protect the rubber and give it the required shape when inflated
it is covered by an interchangeable canvass sleeve which is made straight or
curved according to the shape to be sanded. These drums are designed for
use on any revolving spindle but should not be run loose on a stationary stud.
They may be inflated to a greater or less degree, as indicated by the work
to be sanded, through a pump connection in one of the heads. When the sand
paper is to be used directly on the drum it is made up into sleeves of the desired
shape by cutting to a template, butting the joints and covering back of joint
by a glued-on strip of fabric. These sleeves are mounted on the deflated drum.
The Mattison drum is made in diameters of 4" and 6" by 8" long. The
construction involves, cast iron heads shrunk on a steel shaft and covered
by a rubber tube with canvass sleeve. The rubber tube and sleeve are made
on the heads by a double taper clamping device composed of the shrunk-on
heads, loose heads and a brass ring with double, internal taper.
Pneumatic sanding pads are used in sanding irregular work on a hand
block type belt sander. This pad is inflated to any required degree by a hand
pump and for many purposes is superior to the felt covered blocks commonly
employed.No. 489.

This type machine is used for cross cutting logs and is usually of a portable
or semi-portable nature. It involves a horizontal shaft fitted with tight and
loose pulleys and disc crank together with a cross head working in horizontal
guides. To the end of the cross head an arm is pivoted so as to have a free
vertical motion. This arm carries one end of the straight saw the outer end
being free. This mechanism serves to reciprocate the saw through the log
doing most of the cutting on the in, or pulling stroke.
The Defiance No. 2 machine is a heavy, elaborate tool of this class which
will handle logs up to 48" in diameter and is designed for stationary use. It
is built on a cast bed plate which carries a pair of heavy hangers in which a
horizontal shaft with tight and loose pulleys between bearings and disc crank
on the inner end is mounted. Horizontal guides for the cross head are located
at the rear of the bed plate and at the front are the vertical guides which
carry the pivoted cross head arm. A hand lever in connection with the vertical
guides serves to raise the saw and hold it clear of the saw when desired. A
lever is also attached to the bed plate and fitted at the outer end with a spur
dog used to hold the log from turning. The log carriage and feeding device
are mounted on long cast iron tracks and involve beside the carriage a pair
of beveled spur wheels operated by a hand ratchet lever and a small truck
operating on rails mounted on the carriage. In operation the log is mounted
on the beveled spur wheels and the small truck and is readily moved long-
itudinally. The saw is 66" long by 10" wide and cuts both ways with a 26"
stroke. Motor of 10 H. P. may be belted direct to crank shaft. Net weight
3260 lbs. Floor space 114"x234".
Some of the lighter types of this machine designed for strictly portable
use are mounted on wheels and fitted with a direct connected gasoline engine.
This type machine requires an engine of 4 to 8 H. P. makes about 200 strokes
per minute and weighs complete 250 lbs. to 450 lbs.
A stationary type machine as built by Multnomah and Seibert is designed
for cutting shingle and other bolts from large logs and is direct connected to
a double acting steam cylinder.
The Seibert machine of this type is built in three sizes which are
fitted with cylinders 8 "x36 ", 6 "x36 " and 6 "x26 ". This machine may be fitted
with two arms, which run side by side and carry two saws, which may be
spaced 16" or 18" apart cutting two bolts at one time. These machines are
operated at speeds up to 400 strokes per minute.No. 490.

The modern dry kiln is a far cry from the old fashioned ,hot box type of
kiln in which all elements entering into the drying except the heat were lost
sight of. The improved type of kiln as installed by the different builders
differs in detail, and manner of accomplishing certain results but in general
aims to produce the following conditions. “A” Thorough heating or steaming
of the green stock. “B” A period of fairly low temperature and high humidity
gradually changing to “C” A higher temperature and a lower humidity which
is continued until the drying process is completed.
Two distinct types of kiln are in common use, the progressive and the
compartment. In the former type the green stock enters the kiln at one end
and gradually progresses to the other end, the arrival of the stock at the dry
end and the completion of the drying process being simultaneous. The drying
capacity of this type kiln is in direct ratio to the length of the kiln. The com-
partment type kiln, on the other hand, receives a charge of green stock which
remains stationary in the kiln and is dried, removed and replaced hy a fresh
charge. The temperature and humidity at any given point in the progressive
kiln remains the same at all times during the drying process. The stock is
subjected to the different conditions in its progress through the kiln. The
conditions in the compartment type kiln are not stable as the temperatures
and humidity are constantly being changed to meet the changing condition
of the drying stock. The entire compartment is maintained at the same con-
dition and the entire charge of stock is removed at one time.
Either type of kiln is designed for producing a condition whereby all
the free moisture and the fiber moisture down to within 5% to 12% of the
absolute bone dry weight is removed. Among the advantages of the progressive
type kiln are the simplicity of operation, the saving in handling and storage
space, the decreased cost of building the long kiln, and the reduced amount
of steam reouired. The compartment kiln has the advantage of drying different
kinds and thicknesses of stock at one time, easy inspection of stock during
the drying, ard in addition, may be built on locations where there would not
be room for the longer progressive type kiln. In general it may be said that
the progressive kiln is best suited to the needs of large mills and wood working
plants of standardized output where a continous supply of one kind and thickness
of stock is required.
The Nichols Dry Kiln which is used more for special stock than for the
regular run of rough lumber differs radically from ether kilns as it holds the
stock under pressure of platens during the entire period of drying and applies
the heat directly and equally to both sides. The design of this kiln invloyes
a se’f contained unit composed of platens of patented “gridiron” type which
are composed of structural steel shapes, the cross members_ being drilled to
receive the steam heating coils. These platens have a bearing on the stock
every 12" and hold it flat and straight while both sides are subjected to a
temperature 30 to 40 degrees higher than the temperature surrounding the
apparatus. The platens are connected by slotted links and the entire series
of 32 or more platens is pendant from a heavy structural steel frame which

I. B. sills connected by cross girts and is completely self-contained. For its
instalation a specially built room 32 feet long, 13 feet wide and 12 feet high
is required. 1 he capacity is 5,000 to 10,000 feet of stock per charge and the
the builders guarantee to dry one inch air dryed, soft wood containing a max-
imum moisture content of 15% in 24 to 36 hours. Hard woods require £6
to 48 hours and thicker stock proportionatly longer. In drying green stock
steam is applied to alternate platens only, and the period required is approx-
imate double that given above. A portion of the equipment of a conplete
Nichols kiln comprises two iron cabinets which form part of the front wall
of the kiln building. The first cabinet contains a recording psychrometer
which gives a permanent record of the temperature and humidity during
the entire drying period, together with the control valves for the four hy-
draulic rams and the damper control for ventilation of the kiln. Ventilation
i? accomplished without the use of fan or motor and is very effectual; the
room nay be practically air tight, or the entire air may be changed every 5
to 10 minutes. The second cabinet contains the small air compressor and
tank which supplies air for the controls, the thermostats, hygrostats, diaphram
valves etc. Rams are operated by a double-acting hydraulic pump 10"x2"xl2*'

Dry Kilns, Varnish and Paint.
Builders:
Cutler Desk Co. Dry Kiln Dept.
Drying Systems, Inc.
A. S. Nichols Co.
The modern system for drying varnish and paint contemplates the cir-
culation of a large volumn of slightly heated air around the product to be
dried. This air absorbs the naptha or other solvent, which is really only a
carrying agent for the finishing material, before it has had a chance to sink
into the pcres of the wood. The effect aimed at is to dry the finish from the
inside out, instead of from the outside in, as is the case under natural conditions.
The results obtained as regards quality of work and time required for drying
are far in advance of the old methods.
The usual custom is to utilize a portion of the finishing room for a kiln.
Canvas rolling curtains shut off this portion of the room and suitable stacks
are provided for carrying off the fumes of the rapidly drying varnish. Many
installations involve ordinary cast iron radiators mounted on the floor at
one side of the kiln. Each radiator is provided with an electric fan of the
standard desk type which serves to set up the necessary circulation.
The Nichols Varnish and Paint Dryer which is sold in the territory east
of the Ohio, Mississippi and Detroit rivers by the Nichols Co. and in the west
by the Drying Systems, Inc. comprises a complete unit system of fan, motor
heaters, air compressor, automatic humidity and temperature regulators
and rotary humidfying air washer. This apparatus is assembled in a substantial
sheet metal housing with steam supply and return and water supply and
drain ready to connect up. Cast iron radiators are installed for pressures
up to 30 lbs. and specially designed coil radiators for higher pressures. The
air washer is of the spray type and is very effective in thorughly cleaning the
air . The water is generally supplied to the spray nozzles at city prsesure
and a small quantity is required. A small centrifugal pump may be used fcr
recirculation if desired. The temperature and humidity controls are very
sensitive.No. 492.

The satisfactory operation of the modern dry kiln involves the accurate
control of several elements and requires the use of instruments of considerable
precision. Recording pressure gauges, vacuum gauges and thermometers
furnish inked-in charts which indicate the exact condition of the kiln at any
hour of the twenty four. Wet and dry bulb hygrometers indicate the relative
humidity of the atmosphere within the kiln and a recording instrument called
a pachrometer provides an accurate record of the wet and dry bulb thermometers
during the entire drying process.' Special scales of very accurate design are
used in connection with electric ovens for determining the moisture content
of test blocks. Automatic temperature and humidity regulators involving
a thermostat in connection with a balanced valve or operating direct through
compressed air give accurate, automatic control of these elements.

Embossing Machines.
Builders:
Chief Mfg. Co.
This type machine is used for producing imitation carving or indenting
on chair backs, mouldings, panels, claw feet and other furniture parts. This
style of ornamentation is not used as much as formerly and is now
applied to the cheapest work only. The process involves the application to
the wood, under heavy pressure of a heated bronze die which is cut with sharp
edgis and indents the pattern into the wood. The machine is built in two types,
the circular or rotary which employs a circular die mounted on an idle revolving
spindle, and the more improved platen type which employes a flat die or in
the case of curved stock a die of the same shape as the stock to be embossed.
The circular type machine is used largely for moulding, where the pattern
of enbossing is repeated. The platen type is capable of heavier, deeper cutting
than the roll machine.
The Chief rotary machine is bult on a heavy, cored base which carries
at the top the horizontal die spindle. This spindle is hollow, machined from
a steel forging and rotates in cast steel roller bearings with tool steel rollers.
These bearings are simultaneously adjustable in vertical ways by means of
screws, cut worm and gear and a single handwheel. Beneath the die spindle on
the horizontal ways of the main frame is the traveling carriage upon which
the stock to be embossed is mounted and fed under the die. This carriage
is reciprocated under the die at a very slow speed by a forged, steel cut rack
and pinion located below the carriage at each side. The feed mechanism is
driven by a large, cut steel worm gear and bronze worm driven by lever con-
trolled jaw clutches from two oppositely rotating belted pulleys. The die
is heated from the outside by a gas or gasoline burner to a degree which just
escapes scorching the wood. Motor of 1 to 2 H. P. is required. Floor space
48 "x48". Weight 2500 lbs.
The platen type macine as built by the Chief Co. has certain advantages
over the rotary machines among which is its capacity which is equal to four
rotary type machines. A pressure of 800 tons is exerted and carvings up to
a maximum depth of may be made without breakage. The lateral motion
of the die prevents it from bending over on the sharp edges as is the case with
the rotary die and also permits of a straighter edge on the detail of the carving.
The platen machine is built in two sizes which differ slightly in details
of construction but operate on the same principle. The larger machine is
built on a cored, base plate which carries at each corner a round steel post
4" in diameter. The top ends of these posts are threaded and the top plate
of machine is vertically adjustable thereon by means of toothed nuts meshing
with steel worms, belt driven through bevel gearing. The top plate is fitted
with a sliding carriage which is drawn out to receive the stock to be embossed
and then shoved into position over the die. Position of the carriage which
may be adjusted to receive all kinds of irregularly shaped stock is indicated
on graduated scales. Extending horizontally across the base of machine is
a heavy screw, with right and left threads, which operate a pair of toggleslocated in a vertical plane. Toggles are mounted on crucible steel shafts and
fitted with removable bronze bushings. Screw is driven by a large cut gear
at each end which meshes with main shaft pinions. Main shaft is driven by
an open and a crossed belt fitted with autonatic shifting mechanism. Mounted
at the top of the toggle operated platen is the embossing die of bronze. This
die is fitted with a series of flues and is heated by gas or gasoline burners.
Power required varies from 2 to 15 H. P. according to the die used. Floor
space 48"x84". ' Weight 14,000 lbs.
The smaller machine is built on similar lines except that a worm driven,
double crank shaft is employed in place of the right and left screw for operating
the toggle links. Power 2 to 10 H. P. Floor space 36 "x48". Weight 7000 lbs.
Either machine has capacity to produce drop carvings up to y8" deep.
This type of carving is band sawed and planted on the surface to be ornamented.

Whitmore Machine & Foundry Co
Excelsior cutting machines are built in two types, the horizontal and
the vertical, each of which has advantages. The choice between the two is
largely determined by local conditions. The essential features of either type
are a cross head fitted with knives and spurs which is traversed past the face
of the bolt. An automatic feed advances the bolt slightly after each cut.
The bolts are cross cut from the log to lengths of about 38" and split
into slabs about 5" thick and the full width of the log. The bolts so produced
are thoroughly air dried and are them cut in two in the center and the end
trimmed thus producing square ended blocks 18" long which are ready for
the cutting machine. Damp or green bolts do not cut satisfactorily and air
dried stock is preferable to kiln dried as it is tougher and less brittle.
The timber used should be light colored and have a straight, tough fiber.
Basswood, poplar, linwood, soft maple, white ash, spruce, hemlock, tama-
rack, cottonwood, wallow, cypress, fir, gum, pine and similar woods make
satisfactory excelsior. One cord of average 38" bolts will cut into approximately
1500 lbs. of finished product.
Excelsior is usually cut from A" to 14" wdde and about 1-100" thick
depending upon the use for which it is designed. Average output of an eight
block machine runs from about two tons of wood wool or finely cut excelsior
to five or six tons of the coarser grades of packing excelsior per day of 10
h urs.
The Kline 8 Block Horizontal Machine is built on a' heavy, iron frame
which carries at the top two pairs of horizontal hard maple slides in which
the cutting frame or sash is operated by a crank motion. Each of the twro
cutting frames carries four removable heads in which the knives and spurs
are mounted. Extra heads are used and are kept set up so that the change
of knives is a very quick process. The blocks from which the excelsior is cut
are mounted in lever operated, pedal releasing clamps over the cutting frames,
eight blocks being operated on, at one time. The cutting frames are rec'procat-
ed by connecting rods from 4R" diameter crank shaft with disc cranks on
each end. The crank shaft housing and the machine proper are mounted
on the same steel channels. Driving pulley on the crank shaft is 34 " diameter,
turns 250 R. P. M. and takes a 12" belt. Conveyor belts running under eachcutting frame remove the excelsior as fast as it is cut. Cut gears are used through
out the machine and the connecting rods are of forged steel fitted with engine
type wedge take-ups at each end. Worms, feed rolls and hardened ratchet
wheels are of steel cut from the solid^ Power requirements vary from 25 to
50H.P. Feed may be set to cut from 1-50" to 1-500" thick and from to A"
wide. Motor, if belted or geared to the crank shaft, should be of 50 H. P.
Weight 10,000 lbs.
The Kline 4 Block Vertical Machines comprise two pair of vertical guides
extending from floor to ceiling. The double-ended crank shaft is mounted
at the top and the cutting frames which carry tw70 knife blocks each, are below
and are reciprocated vertically. The same cutting frames, hard maple slides,
feed mechanism, etc. are used as in the horizontal type. Two bolts are mounted
in front of each cutting frame, one above the other, and are fed forward after
each stroke of the frame by a ratchet feed mechanism. Blocks from 15" to 19'
long may be dogged. Floor space 30"x72"xl44" high. Motor of 10 to 25 H. P.
may be belted to the crank shaft which runs 225 R. P. M. Pulley is 30 " diameter
and takes an 8" belt.

Factory Hogs.
Builders:
Mitts & Merrill.
Gruendler Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Co.
Williams Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Co.
These machines are used for reducing blocks, cuttings and similar factory
refuse to chips of a size to be readily handled by the exhaust system. The
advantage of hogging this class of waste and handling it in the exhaust system
lies in the fact that in this way it can be fed to the furnaces without opening
the firing doors with the attendent inrush of cold air.
The Mitts & Merrill factory hogs are similar to the saw mill hogs in
design, theprincipal difference in the two machines being that the “V” shaped
saw mill cylinder is replaced by a straight faced cylinder through the periphery
of which the knives project. Knives are securely mounted by the use of clamp-
ing bolts which pass through the cylinder parallel with the shaft. Machines
are built with inclined or vertical spouts and either right or left hand.

The most frequent use for this type coupling in wood working plants is in
the case of motors coupled direct to the driven machine. It is essential that
some form of flexible coupling be employed for the reason that shocks and jars
which may develop in the driven machine are with a rigid coupling transmitted
to the motor with distructive effects. A flexible coupling also allows for a
certain amount of misalignment in the shafts, lightens the load on the motor
bearings and permits the motor rotor to float in magnetic balance and with
a certain amount of end play.
A common type of coupling involves two hubbed flanges, one keyed to
each shaft.. The inner faces of the flanges are fitted with a row of protruding
studs set on a circle. The radius of the stud circle in one flange is such that the
studs on the other flange will revolve within it. An endless leather belt is
woven around the two circles of studs, passing on the outside of the large circle
and on the inside of the small circle. The belt takes the entire driving strain
and provides considerable flexiblity.
The “Grundy” coupling made by Chas. Bond Company involves
a pair of flanges, one keyed to each shaft. These flanges are fitted with
rectangular holes in their faces and between the two flanges, centered on the
projecting end of one of the shafts is a leather disc to both sides of which
are rivetted leather lugs which fit loosely into the holes in the faces of the
flanges, the leather thus intervening to prevent the transmission of shocks.
A cushion coupling, as made by the Dexter Company, embodies a pair
of flanges with slightly convex faces. Each flange carries a row of holes equally
spaced and on an equal radius. Every alternate hole carries a permanently
mounted stud and the intervening holes are fitted with flexible bushings,
backed by bronze liners. The studs of one half of this coupling make into the
bushed holes of the other half. This coupling is made in sizes up to 6" bore.
The Clark coupling, also made by Dexter, involves two convex faced
flanges with their periphery cut into sprocket teeth. An endless steel sprocket
chain meshes with these teeth, which for heavy work, are of forged steel.
Made in sizes up to 7" maximum bore. The Dodge coupling comprises two
flanges connected by flexible pins composed of tempered steel leaves. This
coupling is built in sizes ranging up to a maximum bore of 20".
The coupling made by the Steel-Flex Corporation, embodies flexible steel
coils, which in the sizes up to 1" bore, are intergral with the hubs. In the larger
sizes the coils are inclosed within the hubs and flanges.
The “Fast’ ’ coupling, made by the Bartlett-Hayward Company, is built
in sizes from 1" to 12r bore. The principle involved in this coupling is
an oil cushioned, internal spur gear. The entire mechanism is housed within
the flanges and is self-oiling and dustproof.No. 500.

Flexible shafts are used to transmit power from a stationery source to
portable tools such as drills and grinding wheels which have thereby a con-
siderable radius of operation. The usual construction involves a core built
up from a number of concentric wire coils, each succeeding coil from the center
out, being wound in an opposite direction. The wire used is a high grade of
piano or other spring stock. The built-up core is inclosed in a flexible metal
or leather casing fitted with bearings, in which the solid metal ends of the core
revolve. These solid metal ends project through the ends of the casing and
are fitted in various ways to receive and deliver power. Due to the coil
construction, no longitudinal strain on the core is permissible, and it must
be so mounted in the casing that no end pull will develop as the casing is bent.
A sliding connection of some sort is therefore indicated. The standard type
of shaft is built to revolve in a clcck-wise direction and if used in the other or
counter clock-wise direction will transmit only about two-thirds the rated
horsepower. Special shafts can be built for counter clock-wise rotation.
The following table of horsepower, weights, sizes, etc., has been compiled
by the Stow Mfg. Co., of Binghampton, N. Y., and applies to the shafts built

which receives belt from the line shaft. Mounted on the stud below the friction
wheel is a ravolvable housing which carries a light iron or wood frame and a
horizontal stud upon which a bevel friction wheel and pulley are fitted. The
flexible shaft is pendant from the outer end of the frame and is driven by a
flat belt from the pulley on the horizontal stud. The frame may be swung
in a complete circle on the vertical stud and describes a radius of ten feet so
that holes may be bored any where within a twenty foot circle. The frame is
counter-balanced and is pulled down on the outer end to engage the bevel
frictions and start the shaft, which is normally at rest. Following table gives
data on the four sizes of machines built.

Flooring Matchers, Special Fast Feed Hard Wood Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
S. A. Woods Machine Co.
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
The machines included under this heading are designed for the sole
purpose of producing hardwood flooring at fast feed rates and are heavy,
highly developed tools. Fast feed matchers are built by numerous builders
in addition to the above list and may be used in the production of hardwood
flooring, but are naturally not so well adapted to that service as these single
purpose machines.
The American No. 77, Model 5 machine is built in one size, 9"x6", and
will produce high grade work on il" oak flooring at 200 F. P. M. feed, and on
ys" oak at 150 to 175 F. P. M. This machine embodies all the features of the
Seventy-Seven line such as automatic belt tighteners on all belts, automatic
belt release which releases tension on all belts when not in use, built-in cutter
head jointers which are always in position for use, improved top and side head
chip breakers, feed roll gearing which is inclosed and runs in grease, side
clamping bearings with babbit bushings, micrometer adjustment on inclines
for feed roll and wedge platen, vertical and parallel adjustment of side head
while in motion, etc.
This machine is built on a heavy, bolted-up frame involving side members
connected by heavy girts made into accurately machined seats and is fitted
with eight knife round, thin knife cylinders. The top cylinder carries fourNo. 504, Continued
hollow backing and four straight knives which are all jointed at one operation.
Top cylinder and left side head are fitted with adjustable stops so that in case
of a jam they may be lifted to clear the machine and readily set back to position.
Lever is provided for lifting the top head chip breaker for the same purpose.
Located between the sida heads is a driven roller holi-down with adjustable
coil spring tension and lever lift. An auxiliary infeed roll may be fitted for
handling short stock but is not required for longer lengths. Top and bottom
feed rolls are 4 \i" face and are split for easy removal when necessary to true
up. Weight, 17,500 lbsv Floor space, 84,/xl94". Motor of 50 to 75 H. P.,
1200 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to the countershaft.
An automatic feeding table of special design adapted for use with this
machine is furnished by the same builders and its use is necessary to obtain
the full capacity of the matcher. This feeding table is built on a frame com-
posed of cast leg frames and steel girders and is a complete self-contained
machine.
The Woods No. 501 machine is of the open side type with overhung top
cylinder and feed rolls. This machine is built on a cored, box type base with
the Type “G” feeding table as a component part of the machine. The feed
works which are driven at rates up to 200 F. P. M. involve eight driven rolls,
four in the bed and four above, with an additional driven roller hold-down
located between the side heads. The layout of the heads and rolls is as follows:
First, two top and two bottom feed rolls followed by the top cylinder. Bottom
cylinder cuts next followed by the side heads with hold-down roller between
them. After the side heads are located, a top and bottom feed roll with the top
hollow backing head behind them followed by a pair of outfeed rolls. The
entire layout is close coupled and is especially adapted to running short stock.
Infeed rolls are held up against an adjusting screw by a spring, the tension
of which is just sufficient to balance the weight of roll. The adjusting
screw may be disengaged by a lever motion when necessary to lift the roll.
The matcher hold-down is provided with a quick release and the top cylinder
and left side head are fitted with screw stops so that they may be readily
reset to exact position after clearing the machine. Expansion gears in the feed
train have been eliminated and all gears are inclosed and run in grease. Top
chip breaker is of the sliding type and fitted with a removable steel shoe.
Platen before the bottom cylinder adjusts on wedges. Bottom cylinder is
fitted with 5" transverse adjustment. Top cylinder and side heads are fitted
to taper arbors and are provided with nuts for mounting and demounting.
The hollow backing head is transversely adjustable on the arbor. Interlocking
matchershoes are fitted. Rear side head hood connects with the top head hood
so that one exhaust outlet serves for both. Top and bottom cylinders are of
the Woods solid back, thin knife type and carry six, thin, high-speed steel
knives. Hollow backing head is of the same type and is fitted with four knives.
Side heads are of the Woods convertible disc type. Feed pulleys as ordered
up to 200 F. P. M. Top outfeed feed roll is employed as a marker and runs in
the hollow back depression. Weight, 12,700 lbs. Floor space, 100"xl52".
Motor of 50 to 75 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to crankshaft.
Range is to run stock 1X" to 4" wide by H" to 1M" thick.
The Type “G” feed table, which forms a component part of this matcher
is especially adapted to the feeding of short stock. It is built on a steel frame
mounted at the outer end on cast leg frame and at the inner end on the matcher
frame. Four rolls, two top and two bottom, grouped at the matcher end of
table, are driven direct without gears by one belt from matcher feed works.
F^ur additional table rolls are belt driven from these rolls. Floor space,
28 GT48 v. Weight, 1700 lbs.
The Woods Co. also build an improved, completely motorized model of
the No. 501 machine. This machine carries six motors, one for each cutter
head and one for the feed, is built on the cored, box type base and embodies
the open side features of the No. 501 machine. The top cylinder and side
heads make onto taper seats on the arbors, and are fitted with nuts forNo. 504, Continued
mounting and demounting. The top head arbor is 2A" diameter and is
mounted in a bearing 9' long next to the head. The rear bearing is 1R"x7".
Motor for this head is mounted between the bearings, the rotor being pressed
on the spindle. The end covers which carry the stator are bronze bushed
and mounted on the spindle so as to keep stator and rotor in exact relation.
The bottom cutter head is 10 " long and is fitted with either six or eight knives.
This head is provided with a wide range of transverse adjustment so that in
running narrow stock the head may be shifted to present three or more new
sections of the knives to the cut before jointing is required. The bottom i ead
motor is mounted on the front end of the bearing yoke, the end of motor
housing being cast integral with yoke. Rotor is mounted in tapered seat on
end of cutter head spindle by means of a screw. The side head spindles are
mounted in leg castings which embody integral motor housings and bearings.
Rotor is pressed on the spindle and is located between bearings. The hollow
backing head is also fitted with direct motor drive and is transversely adjustable
on the spindle. Feed works are belt driven from an independent motor with
change pulleys for feeds up to or over 200 F. P. M. Feed belt is 4" wide and
is provided with a gravity binder. Feed motor is controlled by means of a
drum switch mounted on frame of machine at feeding station. This switch
has three positions, forward, reverse and off. The roll driving mechanism
is so arranged that when in reverse the outfeed rolls do not move. The motors
used throughout are of the Woods manufacture and have a full load speed of
approximately 3450 R. P. M. Standard motor equipment is as follows: Top
head 30 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. Bottom head 15 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. Left
side head 15 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. Right side head 10 H. P., 3600 R. P. M.
Hollow backing head 5 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. Feed 5 H. P., 1800 R. P. M.
Total motor rating, 80 H. P.
The Yates Type A-7 machine is distinctly a single purpose tool and
differs radically from other types of machine for this service. On this machine
the stock is run on edge between rolls carried on vertical shafts and is cut by
a new type of disc head. This cutter head involves a disc, the working face
of which is slightly cone shaped. On the face of this disc two kinds of knives
are mounted, one kind making the roughing and the other the finishing cut.
The mounting of this head is such that all the cutting is done on the upward
traveling arc of the head and no one of the finishing knives makes a complete
cut. This head is mounted on a horizontal arbor and revolves in a vertical
plane and shears across the face of the stock, the spur type roughing cutters
removing the surplus stock ahead of the finishing knives and leaving a very
light cut for the latter. A special jig is furnished for setting the knives and
spurs in this head. Flooring run on this head requires no sanding or scraping
before being laid.
This machine which has range for stock up to 4 " wide by 2" thick is built
on a cored one-piece base of typical Yates design and is of the open side type.
Drive is from a countershaft mounted on an independent one-piece base. All
belts are fitted with automatic binders and are covered by competent cast
iron casings. The two matching heads mounted on top and bottom horizontal
spindles cut first, followed by the hollow backing head which is mounted on
a vertical spindle. The disc type milling head cuts last and finishes the face
of the flooring. Matching and hollow backing heads are fitted with jointing
devices. The feed involves four pair of chilled face rolls mounted on vertical
shafts, one pair between each pair of heads, driven by hardened, cut steel
gears. Feed rates up to 200 F. P. M. are fitted. Weight, net 8075 lbs. Floor
space 83"xl44". Motor of 50 to 75 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be coupled
direct to countershaft.
The use of the Yates No. 474 feeding table is necessary to secure the
maximum production from the above tool. This table is built with reference
to feeding the stock on edge and receives the random width stock horizontally
on feed chains which automatically deliver it to the table rolls. The rolls
are located at the matcher end of feed table and the first pair are spherical
in shape and mounted at an angle. This pair of rolls affords entry for the stockwhich is pulled down to the bed and fed forward to the second pair of rolls
which feed into a hold-down device from whence the stock feeds into the
mitcher rolls. The feed table rolls are fitted with a lever operated, quick
opening mechanism for use in clearing jams. This machine is belt driven from
the matcher countershaft. Net weight, 2150 lbs. Floor space, 60 "xl51'.

Flooring Boring Machine for Matcher Attachment.
Builders:
W. S. Sherman Co.
These machines are mounted on the outfeed end of flooring matchers
and used for boring nail holes for either blind or face nailing.
The Type “B” used for boring for blind nailing is reguarly built for boring
flooring run face down, but may be adapted to stock run face up, if required.
This machine involves a housing mounted on a slide at outfeed end of matcher
below the bed line. The housing is transversely adjustable on the slide to
accommodate different widths of flooring. Pivoted on this housing is a “V”
shaped yoke, the pivoting point being the apex of the “V.” The driving shaft
which is belted from an independent countershaft above or below, as is most
convenient, is journaled in one leg of the “V” and is normally in an approxi-
mately horizontal position. The driving shaft is connected through bevel
gears with a second shaft or spindle which is journaled in the other leg of the
“V.” This gear driven spindle carries at its outer end a bevel edged disc,
which is fitted with four radial, gear driven boring spindles. The bevel edge
of the disc makes contact under spring tension with the tongue of the flooring
and is revolved by friction as the flooring passes through the machine. The
bits which project slightly beyond the periphery of the disc, bore the holes
through the tongue as the disc revolves in time with the feed of the matcher.
The entire mechanism, including all gears and bearings, is lubricated through
one compression grease cup. The disc is normally at rest but the bits which
are screwed into the spindles are running constantly. The boring thrust is
taken by one revolving ring. The countershaft for driving this machine may be
located above or below and should be driven at thirteen times the speed in
fset per minute of the matcher feed. If the matcher is feeding at 200 F. P. M.,
the countershaft would make 2600 R. P. M. Motor of y2 H. P. may be belted
to countershaft.
The face boring attachment for jointed flooring bores two rows of A"
ho’es through the face near the edge of flooring from 2 y2" to 4 H1' face. The
holes may be opposite each other and 16" or 32" spacing or they may be
staggered and spaced 8" or 16". This attachment interchanges on the same
slide and is driven from the same countershaft as the edge borer. In this machine
two independent discs are employed and are adjustable to or from each other
for different widths. Each disc is mounted on an independent horizontal
belt driven shaft and revolves with the flooring feed in the same manner as
the bevel edged disc used on the edge borer.No. 506.
Flooring End Matching Machines.

End matching machines for flooring are employed for matching the ends
to agree with the side matching. Some types also at the same operation
trim out defects in the stock. This tool is built in several types, one of which
contemplates the use of two independent units, located at any desirable
distance apart, one of which cuts the tongue and the other the groove,
the stcck being handled between the units on suitable conveyors. Another
type a’ong the lines of the preceding machines, is fitted in addition, to the
matching heads with cut-off saws for trimming out defects which operation
is automatically accomplished. Another type combines the two units on one
pedestal. Still another type combines the tonguing and grco/ing operations
and the trimming on one pedestal. Another type embodies two units which are
mounted in a system of tables and feed chains which automatically trim and
match both ends when once the stock has been placed on the chains.
The Sherman “Twins” are of the two unit, non-trimming type and have
range for stock up to 5 A" face by 1 y&" thick. The two units are served by
suitable conveyors and may be located at any desired distance apart as indicated
by the length of flooring run. The male twin, which cuts the tongue, is built
on a cored pedestal with broad floor flanges and rectangular body. Mounted
on the top of this pedestal, side by side, are two belt driven horizontal cutter
head spindles, which are adjustable to or from each other. Mounted in ver-
tical ways on the front face of the pedestal is a carriage which is reciprocated
past the cutter heads on the horizontal arbors at 15, 18 or 26 strokes per
minute by a worm and gear driven crank motion which provides for a quick
return or down stroke. This carriage is fitted with suitable gauges and spring
tensioned pressure bars and receives the flooring and carries it through the
cut. The female twin which cuts the groove is essentially the same as the
male except that but one arbor is mounted at the top of pedestal. This arbor
carries a grooving saw. Motor of 5 to 7 H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be
coupled direct to driving shaft on each unit. Weight of the two units
complete 1800 lbs. The recommended layout of these machines contemplates
the location of one unit on each side of a conveyor with a chute over the
conveyor and between the units.
The Yates Type E-l End Matcher is of the two unit type and involves
one unit for cutting the groove and one for the tongue, both of which are
built on heavy cored, one-piece pedestals and are independently driven.
Motor of 5 to 7 J* H. P. may be coupled direct to the driving shaft of each
unit. Range is for stock of a maximum size of 1A" thick by 4 A" wide. Stock
of a minimum length of 12" may be worked. Capacity is 60 to 65 cuts per
minute and the output of a matcher running 200 to 225 F. P. M., may be
handled. The stock is carried past the saws, which are employed in place of
the usual cutter heads on both machines, face up on a wide, single link, chain
with adjustable lugs, which runs on milled sprockets. Stock is held while
being cut by heavy coiled springs. An automatic mechanism is provided
which releases the tension on driving belt in case of a jam and stops the machine.
Floor space required for a satisfactory installation of the two units is 12'0"
by 36'0\
The Sherman Type K machines are an improved type of the twin machines
and like the above Yates machines are of the two unit type with capacity
to trim and match the output of a fast feed matcher. Range is to handle stock
from 9 "to 16'0" long, A" to 3 A" face and A" to 1 %" thick. Motor of
10 H. P., 1800 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to driving shaft of either unit.
Standard equipment includes the metal parts for conveyors to carry stock fromNo. 506, Continued
the side matcher to first end matcher and from first to second end matcher
unit and from thence to the sorting bench. These units may be located on
10' 0" centers and embody a rigid, non-adjustable head block, and a two
point adjustable feeding device. All bearings are of the side clamping type.
The Sherman Type “B” machine involves the essential parts of the two
unit machines mounted on one pedestal and has the same range as the single
machines but the capacity is much less than the two unit machines. The
horizontal arbors which carry the tenoning heads used to cut the tongue, are
mounted side by side on the pedestal top, and at right angles to them is the
arbor which carries the grooving saw used for grooving the other end of the
stock. The carriage is fitted with gauges, stops, pressure bars, etc., for each
head and is operated in the same manner as on the twin machines by a worm
driven crank motion at 18 to 36 strokes per minute. Weight 1300 lbs. Motor
of 5 to 7 H H. P., 1200 R. P. M., may be coupled direct to driving shaft.
The Fay-Egan No. 248 machine is of the single unit type and is used for
sorting, butting and end matching flooring. Range is for stock from y%"
to 1 }4" thick and from 1" to 5" wide and any length. The capacity when used
for cutting out defects and end matching is to care for an output of 80 F. P. M.
on the side matcher. When used for end matching only it will take care of the
output of machines feeding up to 150 F. P. M., on stock averaging 6'0" long.
This machine is built on a well designed cast frame which is fitted
with a table and a vertically reciprocating carriage on its front face
and carries the countershaft together with several sub-shafts and guide
pulleys. The table which is 44" long receives the flooring strips on edge and
is fitted with suitable gauges and an automatic clamping fixture. Mounted
on the carriage which reciprocates continuously in the vertical ways at 15,
20 or 25 strokes per minute is a double-end saw arbor, carried in a horizontal
position and fitted with a 10" cut-off saw on each end. At one side of the
carriage, just above and at right angles to the saw arbor is located another
horizontal arbor which carries the 7" grooving saw used for the groove end of
the flooring. On the other side of the carriage are mounted a pair of horizontal
arbors which are parellel with and above the saw arbor and are fitted with the
6" tenon heads used to cut the tongue end of the flooring. This entire com-
plement of saws and cutter heads is belt driven and is reciprocated contin-
uously past the stationary table on which the stock is handled. Two oper-
ators are employed, the one at one end of the machine working one end of
the stock, and allowing it to pass on suitable conveyors to the other operator
who works the other end. All working parts of this machine are inclosed.
Floor space 51"x61". Motor of 7 H. P., may be belted to the 800 R. P. M.
countershaft.
The American Figure 65902 machine is of the double-end chain feed type
and has capacity to handle the entire output of matchers feeding at 200 F. P. M.
This machine involves a right and a left hand section each fitted with chain
feed. A conveyor belt carries the stock from one section to the other. As the
flooring is discharged from the side matcher it falls on a wooden table built
around the left hand section of end matcher and is mounted by the operator
on the feed chains which carry it through this section. As the stock advances
on the chains, the end is first trimmed by a small cut-off saw and the groove
is cut by a saw mounted on a vertical arbor. As the stock leaves this section
of the machine it falls on a conveyor belt and is conveyed to the right hand
section where it is trimmed and tongued by heads and saws mounted on
horizontal shafts. Three feed changes are fitted, giving from 9 to 18 F. P. M.
chain travel, which equate 30 to 60 cuts per minute. The head stocks are
derigned so as to carry the trimming saws in front of the grooving and tenoning
heads and the left hand trimming saw is located far enough in advance of the
grooving saw to allow time for cutting out defects before the stock reaches
the grooving cut. The tongue heads are fitted to taper seats on the arbors
and are provided with demounting nuts. Suitable pressure bars are provided
for each section together with_ auxiliary bars for straightening crooked stock.
The feed chains are of steel, milled and drilled to templates, and run on milledsprockets. Two of the three chains in each section are fitted with adjustable
lugs. Chain is driven from a lever controlled friction clutch which gives instant
control. An automatic stop is also provided which involves two bumpers
which if struck by misplaced stock, will trip the clutch and stop the feed.
Jointing attachments for all cutter heads and saws are fitted. Each section
is driven from an independent countershaft making 1000 R. P. M., to which
a motor of 10 H. P. may be belted.
The Holmes No. 5 machine is a double-end, chain feed, self-contained
machine with range for end matching flooring from ys" to 1 y2" thick and from
12" to 16'0" long. The capacity is upwards of 15,000 feet per day depending
on the length. This machine is built on a large wood frame which carries
the tonguing head stock at one end near the corner and the groove head at
the other end near the other corner. Traversing the top of the table trans-
versely are six endless chains wh‘ch are fitted at intervals of 12" with angle
iron flights. In the center of the table are located 17 live rolls 4 y2" in diameter
driven by steel bevel gears. The axis of the rolls is parellel with the chain
travel. The entire table top is covered by steel plates in which are openings
for the rolls and chains. In operation the stock is mounted on the feed chains
between the angle iron flights and is carried through the tenoning heads where
the tongue is cut and continues on until it reaches the live rolls in center of
table. The rolls transfer the stock endwise to a bumper at the groove end of
machine whence it travels on the chains through the grooving saw and is
discharged at the rear. The bumper which stops the endwise travel of the
stock is fitted with a steel wire brush to stop the rebound. Cutter heads are
of the six-bit type and rotate in the same direction as the feed. The counter-
shaft may be mounted above or below and driven at 675 R. P. M., by a motor
of 10 to 15 H. P, Floor space 108 "x264". Weight 5600 lbs.

Frequency Changers.
Builders:
\CjL

Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.
Fairbanks, Morse & Co.
General Electric Co.
Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co.
Western Electric Co.
This machine is used in connection with high-speed alternating current
motors, the rotors of which are mounted directly on the spindles, which carry
the cutting tools and which therefore in many cases, must run at speeds in excess
of 3600 R. P. M. The general design, size and weight of the Frequency Changer
corresponds closely to an alternating motor of similar horse power.
The purpose of the machine is to step up the frequency or number of
cycles per minute of the current in order to furnish the necessary high frequency
current for the high speed motors. If the Frequency Changer is connected
to a 60-cycle current, it will run as a motor at the same speed, a motor of
similar characteristics would run and the frequency of the secondary current
will be zero. Now if the rotor of the Frequency Changer be held from revolving,
and the current passed through it, the secondary current would be of the
same frequency as the supply current, in this case 60 cycles. If the rotor of
the Frequency Changer be now revolved by some outside source of power
in a direction opposite to that which would occur if it were running as a motor
the frequency of the secondary current will be increased over that of the supply
current in direct proportion to the increased speed of the Frequency Changer
above its normal motor speed in the opposite direction.
As an illustration, an alternating current motor of the proper type, if
connected by a two pole connection wih a 60-cycle circuit wall run at 3600
R.P. M. If the frequency of the current be increased to 120 cycles the motor,
speed will also be doubled and will be 7200 R. P. M. If the cycle be again
increased to 180, the motor speed will also be tripled and will then be 10,800
R. P. M. It is therefore plain that for motor speeds of 7200 R. P. M., the
Frequency Changer will be driven at normal speed in a direction counter to
the normal motor rotation.
The Frequency Changer can be built to handle two or three phase,
220, 440, 550 volt current which in passing through the machine will be trans-
formed into three phase current of the proper voltage and frequency. The
Frequency Changer may be belted from an alternating or direct current motor,
from a line shaft or other source of power, or it may be coupled direct to the
driving motor which may well be of the adjustable speed type.
The Frequency Changer used in connection with the Whitney high speed
motor driven machines is similar to an induction motor with wound rotor
and slip rings. The low frequency supply current is connected to the stator
terminals and the high frequency current is taken from the slip ring brushes
and connected to a contactor usually mounted in the machine being driven.
The Changer can be furnished to supply high frequency current for any number
of high speed motors. The Whitney machines are regularly of the six pole type
which when connected as a motor to a 60-cycle (7200 alternations) supply
current would revolve at approximately 1200 R. P. M. due to the fact that the
synchronous speed of an induction motor equals the number of alternations
of the supply current divided by the number of motor poles.
If the Changer is to be motor driven the driving motor may be smaller
than the capacity of the Frequency Changer and should be of the same
percentage of the total output as the rise in frequency is to the higher fre-
quency. As an example, if the frequency is raised from 60 to 180 cycles
the size of driving motor would equal 120 to 180 or two-thirds of the total
output of the Frequency Changer. The balance or one-third of the power
is obtained direct from the supply line.No. 509.

This classification covers individual glue pots and heaters and should
not be confused with the glue cookers which are used in preparing large quantities
of glue. Two distinct types of the electric glue heaters are built, each type
with several variations. The Dry Heat Type contemplates the application
of the heat to the air which surrounds the glue container without the inter-
vention of water. The Water Bath Type of heater involves a water jacketed
glue container, the water being heated by the electric element to the required
degree.
The heating elements themselves whether used with the dry heat or water
bath type of pot are of several different types. The Immersion Coil Type involves
a seamless copper tube which encircles the inner pot. Contained within this
tube are the resistance units which are usually fitted with one to three heats.
This coil heats the water by direct radiation. The Immersion Disc Type
Mabey Electric & Mfg. Co.
New Advance Machinery Co.
Oliver Machinery Co.
Russell Electric Co.
Toledo Glue Appliance Co.
J. D. Wallace & Co.comprises a circular cast iron or copper plate which forms the resistance unit
and is located in the water at the base of the inner vessel. The Circulating
Type involves a vaporizing tube within which the heat is generated. The
water is circulated through this tube which is usually mounted below and
outside the water jacket. This type of heating element begins to vaporize the
water as soon as the heat is turned on and at once sets up a circulation. The
Immersion Straight Tube Type involves a brass or steel tube of 1" to 2"
diameter and any required length. This tube singly or in multiple is immersed
in the water which is heated by direct radiation.
For use in the air bath or dry heat type of apparatus various forms of disc
or plate heating element are mounted directly on the outside of the glue
container which may or may not be jacketed. For the best efficiency all types
of electric glue heaters are provided with a heavily insulated jacket which
forms the outer wall of the water or air chamber.
Automatic devices for heat control may be fitted and will hold the
temperature uniform within a range of ten degrees or less. The ordinary
nitrogen lamp bulb may be used as a heating element.
_ In general it may be said that the advantage of electrically heated glue
equipment lies in the elimination of smoke, flame, soot, intense heat, steam
piping and high cost of installation. The apparatus is also very portable and
convenient in use. The disadvantages are the high initial and operating costs.

Three principal methods of utilizing steam in the preparation of glue
are in use. The Contact Method which is used largely for individual glue
pot heating involves a hollow cored ring or plate within which the steam is
circulated. This ring or plate is of cast iron and is machined to make close
contact with the machined surfaces of the cast iron water jacket of the glue
pot. This device contemplates regulation of the heat by varying the degree
and amount of contact. The Steam Injector Method contemplates the
introduction of the steam directly into the jacket water through a perforated
pipe. The Closed Coil Method involves a coil of piping, usually of copper,
which is immersed in the water jacket at the base of the inner vessel.
The usual design of glue heaters, which are not to be confused with cookers,
or convertors, comprises a cast iron, brass, copper or steel plate tank of round
or rectangular shape which is mounted on pipe legs and fitted with a flat,
bolted-on cover of sheet metal. This cover is fitted with a series of holes of
suitable size to receive the individual glue containers which are mounted in
the holes, resting on a flange at the top with the body of the container projecting
down into the water in the tank which is heated by the coil or the injector
method. This type of heater may be built to receive a number of individual
containers or a lesser number of larger pots. For some classes or work long
rectangular containers up to five or six feet long are employed. Glue containers
of any shape or size should be fitted with close covers and kept covered when
not in use. The usual equipment of glue heaters comprises inlet and overflow
valves, water cock and gauge, thermometer and safety valve.
Glue Cookers are a type of apparatus distinct from the heaters just
described and are used in the original preparation of glue in large quantities.
Glue prepared in the cookers is drawn into the vessel or spreader in whichNo. 519, Continued
it is used and is maintained at the proper heat by independent means. This
system is employed where quantities of glue are used. Where small amounts
are used the glue is prepared and used in the same vessel. Cookers are built
in two types, the Water Jacketed and the Instantaneous Melter or Convertor
Type.
The Water Jacketed Type is built in a large range of sizes and styles of
cast iron, steel plate, copper, brass or any combination of these metals as
applied to the .nner and outer tanks. Capacities range from five to five
hundred gallons. The inner vessel is surrounded by a water jacket in which
the water is heated by the coil or injector method or in some cases by electrical
heaters. An agitator involving a vertical shaft fitted with arms and operated
by a hand crank through bevel gears is usually fitted. In the larger machines
the agitator shaft is provided with tight and loose pulleys for power operation.
While cooking, the glue is kspt covered by close fitting covers and is stirred at
frequent intervals without removing the covers. Automatic, thermostatic control
which shuts off the steam when a predetermined jacket water temperature
is reached may be fitted The glue is drawn off through a gate at the bottom
of the tank as fast as required. In some large installations the glue flows
by gravity from the cooker to a heater where the cooked glue is maintained
at the proper temperature until it flows to the troughs of the power feed glue
spreaders. Pipes are not used for the transfer of glue as the open troughs
are more readily cleaned. Usual equipment of glue cookers comprises safety
valve, water gauge, thermometer, etc.
The Instantaneous Convertors contemplate a continuous process of
soaking, melting and removal of the melted glue in place of the intermittent
operation of the foregoing cookers in which the entire quantity of glue is melted
at one time. In the instantaneous process the glue is melted only as fast as it
is used and no great amount of prepared glue is on hand at any one time.
The Toledo Model No. 3 machine is built in five sizes the smallest of
which has capacity to prepare five gallons per hour and the largest one hundred
gallons, in both cases the output being based on the use of ground glue which
requires water soaking for approximately one hour. When flake glue, which
requires soaking for about three hours is used, the output will be proportion-
ately decreased. The capacity of any type of instantaneous machine is however
in direct ratio to the number of melting pans, in which the glue is soaked prior
to its introduction into the machine. After the glue has been properly soaked
it melts in the machine at the rate of a gallon in one to three minutes. Any
number of pans may be used and the largest Toledo machine when used in
connection with six extra pans will prepare four hundred gallons of glue per hour.
This Toledo machine involves an upper, steam heated melting chamber in
which the pans of soaked glue are placed. This chamber is so fitted that
there is no contact of the steam with the glue. The glue as fast as it is melted
drips from the bottom of the melting chamber through a screen and into
the drip pipe which conducts it to the retainer. From the retainer, which is
fitted with a hand operated agitator embodying propellor shaped arms, the
glue is drawn as required through a special gate valve. The temperature of
the melted glue is retained at 145 degrees by a thermostat which governs
the admission of steam to the melting chamber. All parts of the machine
which contact with the glue are of brass or copper. In operation the dry glue
and cold water are weighed into the melting pans and allowed to soak for the
required period. The pans containing the glue jelly are then introduced into
the melting chamber one by one and the steam turned on. The melting
process begins as soon as the steam is turned on and is continuous so long as
pans of jelly are on hand to feed the melting chamber. It will therefore be
apparent that within certain limits the capacity of the machine is limited only
by the number of melting pans available.
The Advance Model D machine is built in three sizes fitted with melting
pans of two, five and ten gallon capacity. The principle of operation and
general design are similar to the Toledo machine except that the thermostatic
control is omitted and the retaining chamber is not fitted with an agitator.The Advance Model 0 machine is the same as the Model D except tha
no retaining chamber is fitted, the design contemplating the flow of the melted
glue to the machine where it is used as fast as it is prepared.
The Zimmerman machine, built by the Instantaneous Glue Convertor
Co., is furnished in three sizes with capacities of 50 lbs... 100 lbs., and 500
lbs., of dry glue per day. The general design and principle of operation are
the same as the foregoing machines.

Glue Tester for Jelly Strength.
Makers:
New Advance Machinery Co.
This is a delicate apparatus used for determining and recording the
consistency of glue jelly and is employed in testing the water taking capacity
of various grades of glue. The device involves an elaborate arrangement of
pressure gauge, tubing, rubber diaphram, etc. The principle upon which
it operates is the measurement by the manometer of the pressure required
to force the rubber diaphram into the jelly. This pressure is accurately
measured and recorded by the apparatus which is very sensitive and will
record a change of the reading with a difference of 1-100 of an ounce of dry
glue in the jelly.

Glue Spreading Machines, Hand Feed.
Builders:
Frank Diehl.
Chas. E. Francis Co.
John T. Towsley Mfg. Co.
This type machine is used for spreading glue on edges and to some extent
for face of work of the narrower class although the power feed machines are best
adapted for medium and large face work. The machines comprise essentially
a cast iron glue heater fitted with a horizontal, power driven roll or brush
wheel. The lower periphery of the roll or brush revolves in the melted glue
in the tank, the surplus glue carried up by the wheel being scraped off by a
stationary scraper or by a friction roll. The roll is of metal and is usually
covered with carpet or other fabric, but in some cases is left with a bare,
grooved or corrugated, metal face, and ranges from nine to twelve inches in
diameter by eight to twenty-five inches long. Brush wheels involving bristles
set in brass rings are used for tongue and groove and other joint work which
can not be handled by the roll. The machine in some cases is built with a
two compartment heater, the glue being cooked in one compartment and
flowing to the other where it is used. The usual construction, however,
contemplates the use of an independent cooker. For general work this machine
may be built with both a roll and a brush wheel mounted on one shaft. The
shaft bearings are hinged and the entire unit of shaft and roll is readily removed
for cleaning. Adjustable supporting rolls are fitted for use in gluing long stock.No. 522.
Glue Spreading Machines, Power Feed.
Builders:
Chas. E. Francis C .
L. F. Grammes & Sons.
John T. Towsley Mfg. Co.
Wilkin- Challoner Co..
This type machine is used for spreading glue on one or both sides of large
or small flat surfaces in veneering and similar work. Three types are built,
the single, for one side work, the double for two side work and the combination
for either one or two side work. The length of the rolls employed ranges from
12" to 84" and the rate of feed approximates 60 to 70 F. P. M.
The machine consists of a cast iron tank on the top of which is mounted
a horizontal, driven roll, its lower periphery running in the melted glue in the
tank. Directly over this roll in the single machines is a power driven feed
roll which holds the stock in close contact with the glue roll. The double
type machine employs a second driven glue roll located directly over the
lower driven glue roll. The upper roll is supplied with glue from an adjustable
trough which may be set to regulate the amount of glue deposited on the
roll. On some makes of machines the trough system is used for supplying
the lower roll as well. The combination machine employs an auxiliary roll
which is swung into position between the glue rolls when one side work is
to be run. The surface of the glue rolls on these machines is of bare metal,
grooved and corrugated to carry the glue. Special devices are fitted to prevent
cross banding from winding up on the roll. The design of these machines
contemplates the preparation of the glue in independent cookers or convertors
which are located at such an elevation as to permit of gravity feed for the
melted glue. The machines are also built for spreading vegetable or cold
glue, in which case the heating devices are omitted.

This type machine is used for spreading glue on edge joints of the flat
type and may also be used on tongue and groove work where the contour
is not too pronounced.
The Bell No. 9 machine is built in 48", 72" and 96" lengths and comprises
a rectangular cast iron tank cored for steam heat and mounted on legs.
Operating in this tank is an iron plate of approximately the same area as the
tank. This plate is planed and corrugated on its top surface and is normally
below the glue level in the tank. The surface of the plate lies horizontally
and pressure on a pedal causes it to rise from the glue which to a certain extent
drains off the surface of the plate through the corrugations. The plate being
raised from the glue and held in position by the pedal, the stock to be glued
is placed edgewise on the surface of the plate and shifted slightly endwise,
which coats the joints perfectly. An automatic cover is fitted, which is normally
closed but is opened by the action of the pedal which raises the glue plate.
Power drive may be fitted if required. Weight 550 lbs., 650 lbs., 750 lbs.
The Francis machine is built in 72" and 96" sizes and differs from the
Bell machine in the fact that a perforated plate is employed in place of the
corrugated one. The standard Francis cast iron heater is embodied.The Toledo machine is built in one size with a perforated brass plate

Glue Stock Warmer and Conveyor.
Builders:
Frank Diehl.
This is a continuous, conveyor type of apparatus designed for warming-up
the edge joints of stock before gluing so that the hot glue will not be prematurely
chilled by contact with the cold wood. When used in connection with a chain
feed glue jointer and a revolving glue clamp the whole process of edge gluing
is continuous.
The machine embodies a slowly moving conveyor which traverses a steam
heated, sheet steel compartment. The steel casing and conveyor are mounted
on legs and the casing opens at the end on the infeed end and at the side on the
discharge end. The conveyor is 144" long and is built in widths ranging from
26" to 72" which is the length of stock that may be handled.
The contemplated location of the conveyor is at the outfeed end of the
glue jointer where the stock as it comes from the jointer is laid crosswise on
the conveyor. The gluing apparatus should be located in front of the side
opening at the discharge end of the conveyor where the stock is presented in
the right position for quick handling on the roll or platen type spreader. The
conveyor countershaft turns 75 R. P. M. and may be operated by a motor of

usual construction involves a small motor with vertical rotor shaft on the
lower end of which a small cup wheel is mounted. This motor and housing
is adjustably mounted on a carriage which is traversible on an accurately
positioned horizontal bar, located above the cutter head, by hand or by screw
and handwheel. The motor frame is fitted with a sensitive vertical adjustment
and the whole device is very accurately constructed and adjusted. On some
types of this tool a straight wheel mounted on a horizontal arbor belt driven
from motor mounted on the same carriage is employed.
The Yates grinder departs from the usual practice in the fact that the
sliding carriage does not carry the motor but is fitted with a horizontal
grinding wheel arbor which is driven by round belt from an overhead motor
driven countershaft. The belt is trained by a system of swivel pulleys from
the overhead countershaft which may be so located that twro or more machines
may be served by the same outfit and in cases where electric power is not
available may be belted from a line shaft. Another variation involves a motor
mounted on a wdieeled tripod with swivel guide pulleys at the top so that
the motor may be located at any machine and connected by round belt to the
grinder. A motor of % H. P. is employed with any of the Yates belting plans.
The builders listed above with the exception of the Stockbridge Co.,
build this apparatus as a necessary adjunct to the planing and other machines
of their manufacture. The device offered by the Stockbridge Co., is however,
designed so as to be applicable to any make of machine. This machine, which
is called the “Quicksharp” grinder, involves a vertical motor which is adjustably
mounted on a carriage and traversed over a horizontal slide by screw and hand
crank. The feed screw nut on the carriage is of the split type. The motor
housing is pivotally mounted on the carriage and is fitted with adjustable
stops on either side to govern the inclination of the motor shaft from the
vertical. The motor and cup wheel are vertically adjustable and a constant
grinding pressure is maintained by spring tension. The horizontal slide or
bridge is mounted on adjustable angle feet which are readily fitted to any
make of planer or hand jointer. Bridges are furnished in lengths to grind
knives 18", 34", 40", 48" or 60" long. Jointing stones adjustably mounted
in a special carriage may be used on the same bridge for jointing knives at
speed. Setting and back bevel grinding attachments may also be fitted. For
grinding curved knives, a special template which operates to control the vertical
position of the wheel may be used. The grinding head may also be fitted with
a tool post shank which adapts it for use in any engine lathe. Motor is of the
universal type and runs off any lamp socket.

maximum length of 213 ". This machine employs a cup wheel 14 "x7 "xl 'A"
mounted on a carriage and traversed past the knife which is mounted, edge
up, on a stationary knife bar. The base of this machine involves cast end
frames connected at top and bottom by longitudinal girders. The top girders
are of large circular section and are machined to serve as ways for the grinding
wheel carriage. The end frames extend toward the front of the machine to
form knees which carry transverse ways for the housings, which carry the
ends of the stationary knife bar. The knife bar, which is composed of a heavy
casting, is revolvable in the housings through a worm and handwheel so as
to present the knife to the wheel at any angle required. The housings are
also adjustable to or from the wheel in transverse ways. The automatic feed
of the knife bar to the grinding wheel may be set as fine as 1-5000", and as
much coarser as may be required. The carriage which mounts the grinding
arbor housing is traversed on the ways by a steel screw actuated by a bevel
gear reversing mechanism. The housing may be swivelled on the carriage
to grind either a flat or concave face on the knife. The grinding arbor is driven
by a single strand rope drive from a transverse countershaft at end of machine.
Water is supplied by a centrifugal pump which is mounted on the carriage.
Tank and canvass hood are part of the equipment. This tool is built in ten
sizes, the smallest grinding knives to a maximum length of 90", and the largest
to 213" long. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may be coupled to countershaft. Weights
range from 3300 lbs. to 8500 lbs.

wheel type and employs a cup wheel 12"x4"x2". This machine is built on
a heavy cast frame and the grinding wheel carriage is traversed on parallel
planed ways by the action of a heavy steel screw. The grindingarbor is driven
by steel and rawhide gears from a horizontal shaft which carries the tight and
loose pulleys and extends the length of the machine parallel with the carriage
ways. The arbor housing swivels on the carriage. The knife bar is heavily
reinforced and is provided with an automatic feed to the wheel, which may
be set to feed from 1-1000" to 4-1000" at each passage of the wheel. Water
pump and piping may be fitted if required. Carriage feeds at 58 A" per

This type machine is employed in the grinding of either thick or thin
knives of any straight type and is usually built on a cored pedestal but in
some cases is designed for bench mounting. This type machine generally
speaking, is not used for the extremely accurate work performed by the
machines listed in the preceding paragraph and is a lighter and less expensive
machine which, while not capable of the highest class of work, is suitable for
many requirements.
The usual construction involves a horizontal arbor at the top of pedestal
which is fitted at the forward end with a cup wheel about 8' to 12" in diameter.
At the rear end of the arbor is a wide faced pulley for the reversing belts which
drive the feed. Tight and loose pulleys are mounted on the arbor between
bearings. The arbor is located at right angles to the ways upon which the knife
carriage travels. The bed, however, is fitted to swivel on the pedestal and
may be set at any required angle with the arbor to grind a flat or a hollow
bevel. The carriage is fed longitudinally on the ways by a power driven rack

The usual construction involves a base plate with horizontal ways upon
which a carriage is operated by hand or by rack and pinion and handwheel.
The carriage is fitted with an adjustable knife bar to which the knife is bolted
and fed to the wheel by spring tension. This attachment may be removably
mounted in front of almost any existing grinding wheel.

Grinding Machines, Excelsior Knife Type.
Builders:
Lewis T. Kline
This machine is designed for automatically grinding the knives used in
cutting excelsior.
The Kline No. 73 machine is built upon a cored pedestal with horizon-
tal arbor, which carries the grinding wheel between bearings with the pulley
outside and may be driven at 500 R. P. M. from an overhead countershaft
or motor of 1 to 2 H. P. The knife carriage travels on horizontal ways in
front of the grinding wheel and parallel with the arbor. The carriage has
a short travel corresponding to the length of knife to be ground and is
actuated by a crank projecting from the front face of pedestal and operating
in a slot in the carriage apron. The crank is carried on the end of a
worm driven shaft located within the pedestal at right angles to the
grinding arbor. This right angle shaft is driven by worm on a jack shaft
which is parallel with arbor and is belted therefrom.

Machinery Company of America.
These machines are used for the purpose of grinding and truing the wheels
of band mills and heavy band resaws with the wheels in position on the mill.
The successful operation of large band saws requires perfectly true wheel rims
with a very slight crown or in some cases perfectly flat, hence the necessity
for the use of this type machine at least annually.
The Filer-Stowell machines are built in two types, one used in grinding
the wheels of mills so constructed that both upper and lower wheel may be

ground at one setting of the machine, and the other type contemplating
resetting the grinding machine for each wheel. The former type involves a
long horizontal arbor, journaled in a cast steel yoke, which is supported in
cast steel brackets mounted on the mill frame and fitted with 3 " to 6" of vertical
adjustment so that the grinding wheel may be brought into contact with either
wheel. The arbor which carries the 12" grinding wheel in the center is
traversed through its bearings with a total travel of 16" by a handwheel at
the end. The arbor pulley is 6"x7", located on a sleeve at the end of arbor
and is driven at 1400 R. P. M. from an independent overhead source of power.
While this machine is being used the band wheels are driven at 3 to 4 R. P. M.
by temporary connections from an independent motor or other source of
power. The direction of rotation is the same as would be the case were the
grinding wheel driving the ba id wheel by friction
The other type machine built by the Filer-Stowell Co., involves a cast
base with horizontal ways upon which a compound carriage is operated by
handwheel and screw. Upon this carriage is mounted the arbor yoke which
may be traversed across the face of the band wheel or fed in at right angles
to the band wheel shaft both these motions being accomplished by handwheels
and screws. The arbor carries the drive pulley between bearings and the
grinding wheel on the end and is driven from an independent power source.
Provision is made for mounting a turning tool in the carriage for use on
wheels that are badly out of true. When using this turning tool the band
v/heel should be driven at 1 R. P. M.
The machines built by the Machinery Co. of America are of the same type
as the preceding and are built in three sizes for band wheels of a maximum
width of 8", 12" and 16". This machine is also built with carriage fitted for
mounting a small motor which is coupled direct to the grinding wheel arbor.
The GeBott machines involve an entirely different principle from the
preceding machines as they do not employ a power driven revolving wheel,
but do the cutting by means of stationary abrasive blocks or by the use of
a slotted, cup shaped wheel which is rotated by contact with the band wheel
which is being ground. When the cup wheels are in use the mill wheels are
rotated at 3000 to 4000 F. P. M. rim speed, and when the stationary blocks
are used the speed should be reduced to 1000 to 1500 F. P. M. The above
speeds are for cast iron wheels, steel tired wheels should be run somewhat
slower. In any case the top wheel is driven from the lower wheel by a sheared
saw blade or other belt and the lower wheel is driven by the regular source of
power at reduced speed.
This tool involves a spindle with yoke and bearings which is mounted
on a housing carried in a pivoted frame in such a manner that the spindle
may be adjusted to point towards the center of either upper or lower mill
wheel. The housing upon which the arbor yoke is mounted is traversible
across the face of the mill wheel by handwheel at either side. The yoke is
also adjustable on the housing. Either of the two forms of abrasive blocks
may be used interchangeable. The cup shaped circular blocks are slotted on
the face to allow the escape of the grindings and are adjusted so as to' just
touch the mill wheel on one side, and are thereby rotated at approximately
twice the rim speed of the mill wheel. The stationary blocks are also slotted
and special blocks are furnished for steel rims.
The Machinery Company of America’s No. 160-E machine is also of the
fixed block type but does not embody the revolving block feature of the
GeBott tool. This machine comprises circular housings at each end which
carry the circular ends of the frame, which is composed of the twro circular
ends connected by round steel bars, which serve as ways for the carriage.
The carriage is fitted with a cross slide operated by screw and handwheel
and fitted with two or more stationary abrasive blocks. The entire carriage
with its ways is revolvable on the housings and may be set as required to grind
either wheel.No. 547

For most classes of tool grinding the old type sand stone wheel has been
superseded by the modem high-speed abrasive wheel but for some special
purposes the slow running grind stone is still in use. Frames for mounting
these wheels usually combine a cast iron water trough and frame and are
fitted with horizontal arbor, collars, pulley and bearings. Some machines
of this class are built with direct attached motor geared to the shaft and are
mounted on wheels for easy portability.
The Oliver No. 98 machine is typical of the high grade, large size machines
of this type. This tool embodies a cored casting, mounted on four short
legs, which houses the lower half of the grinding wheel. The arbor is mounted
in babbitted bearings of good size which are fitted with oil cups and carries
a pulley 24 "x7" which should be driven at 35 R. P. M. Wheel is 60" in
diameter by 9" or 12" face. A vertically adjustable tool rest is fitted. Motor
may be mounted on attached bracket and connected to arbor by reducing
gears. Weights 3500 lbs. and 4400 lbs.
A truing device involving a hardened steel threaded roll mounted in
hardened steel bearings in a self-contained housing may be applied to this
or any other of the Oliver grind stone frames.

Grinding Wheel Dresser, Metcalf Type.
Makers:
Oliver Machinery Co.
This tool is used for shaping and truing up abrasive wheels of all kinds
and does its work very rapidly and accurately. It involves a ball bearing
spindle with cast iron ball handles at each end of its housing and a small
abrasive wheel mounted on the center of spindle between the handles. In
operation the handles, which are of considerable weight to steady the tool,
are grasped in the two hands and the abrasive wheel brought into angular
contact with the wheel to be dressed. This angular contact rotates the dresser
wheel at high-speed and cuts away the wheel to be trued very rapidly and
smoothly with little wear on the dresser wheel. Made also with shank for
tool post use.

the wheel descends into the gullet and as the tooth is fed forward by the
finger acting on the tooth behind the one being ground, the wheel rises in a
cam controlled path and as much or as little of the back of tooth is ground
as desired. The slide or frame in which the grinding wheel arbor is mounted
is angularly adjustable for hook of tooth and all the functions of the machine
are fitted with close, sensitive adjustments. The usual location of the machine
is inside the round end, rectangular area described by the saw and it is belted
from below. Motor of y. to 1 H. P. may be direct connected.
The extensive line of these machines built by the Machinery Company

C. W. Smith.
The Defiance No. 0 machine is used for cutting threads on handles of all
kinds as well as for threading spool heads, insulator pins and similar articles.
It has range to handle material up to 48" long and cut threads of any required
pitch up to a maximum length of 3". Crooked stock may be successfully
handled. This machine is built on a frame composed of “A” shaped end
members connected at the bottom by a cast girt and at the top by a round
steel bar. At the left end of this steel bar is fitted a yoke, which journals
a horizontal cutter head arbor, and at the right end is the tail center yoke,
which carries also a master screw and nut. The tail spindle carries a bell
mouthed chuck which receives and grips the handle to be threaded, and is free
to rotate in and slide through its bearing towards the head stock, both of
which motions are controlled by the master screw mounted behind, and in
the same axial plane as the tail spindle. In operation the stock to be threaded
is mounted with one end in the bell mouthed tail chuck, and the other end
resting in a saddle just in front of, and in the same horizontal plane as the
cutter head arbor. Rotation of the master screw by means of the handwheel
causes the handle to rotate, and feed forward past the rapidly revolving cutter
head in accord with the thread of the master screw which thread is duplicated
on the handle. The cutter head is of the milled, multi-tooth type and is shaped
to correspond with the pitch of thread to be cut. A master screw and cutter
head are required for each different pitch. Motor of 2 H. P. may be belted
direct to the arbor pulley. Floor space 24"x90". Net weight 620 lbs. The
Defiance No. 1 machine which is an automatic type tool used for similar work
is described under Insulator Pin and Bracket Threading Machines (593).
The Smith No. 20 machine is of the bench type and involves a yoke
which journals a horizontal spindle and is fitted with a rest which extends
to the rear for the support of blank to be threaded. On the end of the spindleis fitted a chuck type of screw cutting head and between the bearings are located
two loose pulleys driven in opposite directions by belts. The reversing pulley
is driven at double the speed of the forward motion. In operation the pressure
of the blank in the mouth of the chuck shifts the spindle slightly endwise, and
engages a clutch which makes the forward motion pulley fast to the spindle and
drives the chuck to cut a right hand thread. The thread being completed the
blank is pulled backward which engages the clutch on the reversing pulley and
backs out the thread at double the speed it was cut. Capacity is 20 to 30
pieces per minute. A chuck is required for each pitch thread cut. Motor of

Plow Handle Bending Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
B. M. Root Co.
The Defiance No. 1 machine is used for bending hockey sticks and other
stock of like nature which requires half circle bends on one end as well as for
bending plow handles for which latter work it is especially designed. The
machine bends four handles at each bend and has capacity to produce 300
handles per hour. Prior to bending, the blanks are equalized to exact length
and the inside of the bend is shaped on the special Inside Shaper described
in a succeeding paragraph. The end to be bent is then thoroughly steamed
or boiled to render it soft and pliable. The machine is built on a heavy cored
pedestal on the front face of which is located a horizontal, cast iron table
which receives the steel master strap. Pivoted to the left end of this table
is the bending arm which, when down to start the bend, is level with the table.
This arm is raised to a vertical position or beyond by a horizontal crank shaft
driven by a segment gear and located at the top of pedestal. The crank and
outer end of bending arm are connected by a steel pitman. Crank shaft is
driven from a pinion shaft through heavy gearing and pinion shaft is operated
by two friction clutch pulleys controlled by independent pedals giving motion
either way. At the right hand end of the table is mounted a heavy bulkheador end stop which employs a weighted lever mechanism to give constant
end pressure on the blanks as the bend progresses. Mounted on a large steel
stud carried horizontally by a lever operated saddle working in slides located
radially as regards the completed bend, are the four bronze bending forms
which are grooved to fit the rounded inner portion of blank. In operation the
blanks to be bent are mounted in the upset straps, two blanks to a strap,
and the two straps placed upon the master strap on the table and the bronze
bending forms are brought down firmly on them by the operation of the hand
lever. The outer end of the bending arm is then run up to a vertical position
by the operation of one of the pedals and the bend completed. Shackles
are then hooked to each end of each strap to hold the bend in position, the
forms raised and the bent stock removed and kilned while still in the upset
straps. The upset straps are fitted at one end with an end stop and at the other
end are attached to the blank just beyond the bend by a toggle link. This
method of strapping does not require that the straight portion of handle be
in compression so that the end pressure which is the essential requirement
in bending is not dissipated by the springing of the long straight portion of
the blank. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. is required. Floor space 55"x66". Net
weight 3300 lbs.
The Root machine for this work is built on a heavy cast frame and is
fitted with powerful gearing. This tool is similar in operation to the Defiance
except that in place of forcing the forms down on the blanks to be bent,
the table is fitted with a toggle motion which raises table and blanks into
the forms. The bending arm is fitted with a follower carried by two rollers
and attached to the table by a link. The rollers bring the follower against
the blanks, carrying them upward until the bend is completed and secured
by the retaining links. This follower device is very effectual in preventing
breakage. The forms are of bronze and are fitted to receive two blanks. Motor
of 3 H. P. is required. Floor space 42"x42'/. Weight 1575 lbs.

Defiance Machine Works.
B. M. Root Co.
The Defiance No. 1 Revolving Belt Sander is used for sanding the entire
surface of the bent portion of the handle which work is performed with the
handle in a horizontal position. The only movement required is the swinging
of the straight portion of the handle, horizontally, through an arc of approxi-
mately 90 degrees. Capacity is 300 handles per hour. This machine is built
on a cored pedestal which carries at the top a hollow, horizontal, belt driven
shaft. Upon this hollow shaft between the bearing# is the driving pulley which
is belted from the overhead countershaft and outside the bearings on the same
hollow shaft is located the sand belt driving pulley. Revolving inside the
hollow shaft is a shaft driven by belt from the countershaft to pulley at the
rear end of shaft outside the bearing. This internal shaft carries at the front
end an arm about six feet long mounted at the center and revolved in a vertical
plane like the propeller of an airplane. At each end of this arm is mounted an
adjustable, horizontal shaft with a sand belt pulley on the front end outside
the arm. One of the shafts is fitted at the rear end with a pulley driven by
belt from the central pulley mounted on end of the hollow shaft. The sand
belt, 3" wide by 15'0" long, travels rapidly around the pulleys at the two
ends of the arm, and the arm is at the same time revolved by the internal
shaft on the end of which it is mounted. The handle to be sanded is laid
on a portable rest with the bend flat down, and the rotation of the arm bringsthe belt into contact with every portion of the bend, requiring only the swinging
of the handle in a horizontal plane to complete the sanding. Motor of 2 to 3
H. P. may be belted to the overhead countershaft. Floor space 60"x72".
Net weight 1000 lbs.
The Root machine is built in two types one of which operates in exactly

countershaft.
The other type Root machine while designed especially for sanding plow
handles may be used also in sanding spokes, neck yokes, singletrees, etc.
This machine is built on a frame comprising heavy cast end frames connected
top and bottom by girders. This frame is approximately 60" high and each
of the end frames carries two horizontal shafts, one at the top and one near
the floor. The top shaft on one frame and the bottom shaft on the other
frame are driving shafts, and are fitted with tight and loose pulleys and the
other two shafts are idle. Each of the shafts carries at each end outside the
frame a sand belt pulley. In the center of the frame, mounted on the horizontal
girders is located a housing which carries four guide pulleys two of which are
concave faced and two convex faced. The concave faced pulleys are mounted
in the same horizontal plane a short distance apart, and the convex faced ones
are mounted directly above them. The machine is built double for use by two
operators and the same complement of pulleys is carried on each side. Two
belts are employed on each side of the machine, one of which runs from the
pulley on lower driven shaft on one end frame over the concave faced guide
pulleys, and to the lower idle shaft pulley on the other end frame. The other
sanding belt runs in the opposite direction over the upper shaft pulleys on the
end frames and under the convex faced guide pulleys. The tangents of the
oppositely running sand belts between the guide pulleys are therefore shaped
by the pulleys to agree with the bend of the handle. The guide pulleys being
separated by the operation of a pedal the handle placed between the two
belts is sanded smoothly and accurately by a simple rocking motion. Motor
of 3 to 5 H. P. is required.

Handle Dipping Machines.
Builders:
C. W. Smith.
The Smith machines are designed for dipping small handles, pencils,
pen holders, etc., in air drying enamels, laquers, etc. The essential principle
involved in these machines contemplates the slow, steady withdrawal of the
articles from the dipping material at a rate exactly equal to the flow of the
material so that no runs or sags are left on the ends of the articles. The time
required to withdraw the articles varies with the consistency of the finishing
material and ranges from three to ten minutes.
The No. 152 machine is built on a wood frame and involves a series of
small tanks for the enamel, mounted in a row on a lower shelf of the machine.
Over each tank is a vertical bar working in guides and actuated by a cam.
In the Standard machine there are ten small tanks, ten dipping bars and
ten cams. The latter are all mounted on one horizontal shaft driven by a
cone pulley, worm gear and chain mechanism which provides a wide range
of very slow speeds for the upward travel of the dipping bars. The cams
are mounted spirally on the shaft so that when the dipping bar at one end
is at its lowest point the bar on the other end is at its highest. The articles
to be dipped are mounted by the end on blocks about equal in size to the area
of the tanks and having capacity to mount 20 to 200 small handles or other
parts. These blocks are slipped on holders at the lower end of the dipping
bars which have a rapid downward motion and carry the stock into the tanks.
As fast as one of the bars raises its load of dipped stock clear of the liquid
the attendant removes the block of dipped stock and hangs it on a rack to dry,
replacing it with another filled block. The entire series of ten or more arms
being in motion at all times renders the mocess very rapid so that from 10,000
to 100,000 small articles may be dipped per day.
The No. 196 machine is similar to the No. 152 except that the cams in
place of acting directly on the dipping bars operate through horizontal levers
which are pivoted at the rear end to the machine frame and at the front to the
dipping bars. The entire cam shaft is adjustable horizontally, as a unit to
change the point of contact of the cams with the levers thus regulating the
stroke of the dipping bars from 6" to 18" length.

Insulator Pin and Bracket Threading Machine.
Builders:
Chattanooga Machinery Co.
Defiance Machine Works.
This type machine is used for cutting the threads on insulator pins and
brackets for the reception of the glass insulators.
The Chattanooga machine is built on a cored pedestal with horizontal
ways upon which a head and a tail stock are mounted. The head stock carries
a spindle driven at 400 R. P. M., by belt from countershaft or motor of 1 to
2 H. P. This spindle is fitted on the inner end with a bell mouthed chuck
and carries at the rear an integral master screw. The tail stock is fitted with
a pedal operated spindle. The revolving master screw governs the “V”
shaped, fixed, threading tool which is mounted on a sliding bar at the front
of the ways, by a tracing pin mounted on the same bar. The blank is mounted
on the centers and the threading tool is brought into contact with the blank
and the tracing pin into mesh with the master screw by a slight rotation of
the sliding bar to which they are both fast. This machine is built in two
sizes to cut stock 18" or 30" long and has capacity for 1000 pieces per hour.
Floor space 15"x42" and 16 "x56 "B Weights, 350 lbs. and 450 lbs.
The Defiance No. 1 machine is used for cutting threads on handles, spools,
bobbins, etc., as well as on insulator pins and has range for threads of any
pitch up to 3" long on stock of a maximum length of 42". This machine is
built on a cored, one-piece pedestal with elongated top machined to form a
single way for the head and tail stocks. On the left end of the way is located
the head stock which carries a horizontal belt driven cutter head arbor.
Directly in front of this arbor and in the same horizontal plane is an idle spindle
with cup center. The tail stock carriage is adjustable to any position on the
way and is fitted with a horizontal spindle carrying two friction pulleys, one
driven by an open and one by a crossed belt from the overhead countershaft.
At the rear end of the tail spindle and in the same axial plane is located the
master screw which operates in a nut carried by an arm from the tail stock
carriage and governs the forward and backward travel of the tail spindle.
The head stock arbor carries a multi-tooth cutter of a shape appropriate
to the pitch of thread to be cut. In operation the blank is mounted between
the cup centers and driven by the tail spindle with the forward friction
engaged, is traversed past the periphery of the rapidly revolving cutter head
under the control of the master screw as regards rotation and longitudinal
movement. When the thread has been cut to the length for which the stops
are set, the friction pulleys on the tail spindle are automatically reversed,
the blank run back to the starting point and discharged from the centers.
The idle spindle mounted beside the cutter head arbor in head stock is fitted
to retreat as the blank advances, and as the reverse motion backs the blank
to starting position, this spindle follows until the blank clears the cutter head
at which point it stops, and thus releases the finished blank from the centers.
Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may be belted direct to the overhead countershaft.

Insulator Pin and Bracket Turning and Threading Machine.
Builders:
Chattanooga Machinery Co.
The Chattanooga machine is used for tuming_ and threading standard
insulator pins up to 9" long. Machines are also built by the same company
for turning and threading pins to 12 " long and for turning and threading stock
of any kind up to 4 " in diameter by 30" long.
The standard 9" machine is built on a cored pedestal with horizontal
cutter head spindle at the top. This spindle is mounted in self-oiling,
babbitted bearings and carries two cutter heads, one for the tenon end of
pin and the other for the top end. These heads are covered by a competent
shield. The tilting carriage on which the gear driven live center and lever
operated tail center are mounted is pivoted at the base of the cutter head
arbor yoke. The live center spindle is fitted with a clutch which engages
two driving gears, one having ratio to give the blank the slow rotation required
for turning, and the other having increased ratio to provide the necessary
speed for threading. In operation the blank is mounted on the centers and
the tilting carriage is fed against the cutter head by the same hand lever used
to operate the tail spindle, one revolution of the blank completing the pin,
less the threads. The threading mechanism involves a master screw integral
with the gear driven live center, and a steel rod mounted in bearings in a position
parallel with the turning, and fitted to revolve through a small arc by the
operation of a hand lever. Keyed to one end of this rod is a brass tracing
pin and to the other end a fixed, “V” shaped threading tool. In operation
this rod is rotated slightly by the hand lever which causes the clutch to engage
the high gear ratio and revolves the turned pin at the correct speed for
threading, and by the same motion, the tracing pin at one end and the threading
tool at the other end of the rod make contact respectively with the master
screw and the blank to be threaded. When finished the turned and threaded
pin is automatically discharged from the centers. Capacity is 300 to 350 pins
per hour. Motor of 5 H. P. may be belted direct to cutter head spindle.

Insulator Cross Arm Rounding Machines.
Builders:
Chattanooga Machinery Co.
The upper edge of cross arms which carry the insulator pins is usually
rounded from each end nearly to the center which is left square to fit the
gain in the pole. The object of the rounding is to shed water. Several types
of automatic machines for performing this operation are built by the above
company.
The No. 1 machine is built on a well designed cast iron frame which
carries on its side face an adjustable table with two top and two bottom feed
rolls. On the top of the frame is located the horizontal, belt driven cutter
head arbor which carries the two-knife square cutter head over the table and
between the feed rolls. The arbor is mounted in a swing frame and the vertical
position of the cutter head in relation to the table is controlled by an automatic
mechanism. In operation the cross arm is fed to the rolls which carry it
under the cutter head and round the top edge to the required distance from
the end. The end of the cross arm then strikes a stop which trips theNo. 598, Continued
mechanism which raises the cutter head from the cut and holds it so suspended
until the feed has carried the cross arm to the point where the round again
begins and the head is then lowered into the cut. The dog which operates
the swing frame raising mechanism is readily adjustable to any required
layout of square and round. The usual length of square in the center is 10"
to 14". Motor of 10 H. P. may be belted to the 700 R. P. M. countershaft.
Weight 1800 lbs.
The No. 2 machine of the same builders is of the traveling head type
and accomplishes the same work as the No. 1 machine in a different manner.
This machine is built on a lathe type bed of box form with horizontal ways
for the operation of the traveling cutter head arbor carriages. Mounted on
the front face of the bed is an adjustable, lever operated, clamping carriage
which is of competent power to straighten crooked cross arms of any size.
Running the length of this carriage is a conveyor chain which receives the arms
from the boring machine (599) and feeds them to position in the clamp. When
the arm traveling on this chain has been properly positioned in the clamp it
strikes a stop and is clamped by the action of a hand lever and the carriage
is raised into the cutting zone by a pedal motion. A hand lever then starts
the travel of the cutter head carriages inward from each end and the cutter
heads travel towards each other until the required length is rounded or
chamfered at which point a stop is struck automatically releasing the clamps
and dropping the finished cross arm on the conveyor chain which discharges
it from the machine. When the next arm is positioned in the clamp the process
is repeated except that in this case the cutter heads travel from the center
outward as they do on every alternate arm. The top of each cutter head
revolves toward the center so that no tearing out occurs where the cut ceases
at the square. The powerful clamping devices straighten the arm in both
directions before the cut begins. The countershaft mounted overhead is
carried on a self-contained steel frame and involves a bevel gear drive from a
horizontal shaft parallel with bed of machine to the two transverse shafts
which carry the pulleys which drive the traveling cutter head arbors. Swinging
tighteners maintain tension on the cutter head belts in any position. The
design of this countershaft permits of driving from the same line shaft that
drives the boring machine without mule pulleys. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P.
may be belted or coupled to the 790 R. P. M. drive shaft. Floor space
38 "xl68 ". Weight 4600 lbs.
The Chattanooga No. 3 machine for this work is of still another type.
This machine is built on a cored, one-piece frame and embodies a horizontal
cutter head arbor mounted in a swing frame which is controlled as to vertical
position by a gear driven mechanism synchronized with the lugs on a feed
chain which carries the arms under the cutter head. This machine like the
preceding one may be arranged to take the cross arms from the boring machine
on coveyor chains without manual handling. Motor of 10 H. P. may be
belted direct to the clutch pulley on bed of machine.No. 5S9.
Insulator Cross Arm Boring Machine.
Builders:
Chattanooga Machinery Co.
This machine is used for boring at one operation all the holes in cross
arms of any capacity. This boring includes the holes for insulator pins in any
required number as well as the bolt and brace holes which are at right angles
to the pin holes. The machine is built on a lathe type bed on the front face
of which the clamping carriage is mounted. Rising from the bed is a gate
on which the vertical boring spindles are mounted. These spindles are belt
driven from an attached, horizontal countershaft and may be adjusted as
desired for center distance or angle. The horizontal spindles which bore the
insulator pin holes are mounted on the bed and are driven by bevel gears
from a second horizontal shaft. In operation the arm to be bored is clamped
in the carriage, pressure being applied from two directions by a power driven
cam and lever mechanism. The action of a hand lever then causes the gate
carrying the horizontal boring spindles to feed forward and at the same time
the sash which feeds the vertical or angular spindles through their splined
pulleys feeds downward automatically and the complete layout of holes is
bored at one stroke. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P. may be belted to the 530 R.

joints. It may also be used for rabbetting, running light mouldings and similar
work. The usual design involves a cast base, in one of three forms, which carries
the horizontal cutter head in two bearings, and is fitted with adjustable cast
iron tables. One form of base comprises a central pedestal with slightly
elongated top which carries the cutter head bearings and affords angular
ways for the tables. Another type of base is of the cored, one-piece type and
is provided with three legs, two at the rear end and one at operator’s station.
This type base has the advantage of minimizing the distorting effects of uneven
floors and of affording ample foot room for the operator to get close to his
work. This type base usually carries long, integral, inclined ways on wThich
the tables are adjustable. Still another type of base used mostly on the larger
class of machines comprises a large, box type bed cast in one piece and
supported at each end on cored pedestals of square section.

at rear outside the bearings. The cutter head is usually fitted with two knives,
describes a small cutting circle, may be of the round thin knife type and is
often mounted in ball bearings. On each side of the cutter head is a cast iron
table, usually fitted with steel lips at the throat, and adjustable vertically
on inclines to govern the cut. The tables are also fitted with a horizontal
adjustment so that they may be pulled back for access to the cutters or for
the purpose of swinging special cutters. The steel lips are beveled to a thin
edge so that when used for straight jointing the tables may be brought
together leaving a very small opening over the knives. The front table which
is used to govern the cut is longer than the rear table which, for a straight
joint, should be set exactly on the top tangent of the cutting circle. In some
makes of this machine the rear table is fitted with a special lever operated
adjustment to set it slightly out of line with the front table for the purpose
of making a hollow joint. For straight work however, it is very important
that both tables be parallel and to this end the adjusting mechanism is built
for very close, accurate results. Adjustments are also fitted for the purpose
of lining the tables laterally with each other and with the cutter head. The
rear table is provided with a groove about y%" deep which lines with the
outer end of cutter head and is used, in connection with a bracket which
spans the outer end of cutter head, for rabbetting. For this class of work
the end of cutter head is fitted with spurs and all end play is removed. The
fence or gauge, usually of the tilting type, is adjustable across the width of
the table and is mounted on one table only, to permit independent table
adjustment.
The American No. 1 machine is built in 8", 12", 16", 20", 24", 30" and
36" widths on a heavy cored frame which is mounted at the rear on a two-point
pedestal and at the front on a one-point pedestal giving a three-point bearing
on the floor. The cutter head is of the round, thin knife type and is mounted
in two self-oiling bearings. Square cutter head or ball bearings are optional.
Tables are fitted with steel lips and adjust on long inclines. Front table
is operated by a large conveniently located handwheel. The tables overall are
84" long and may be separated to provide a 7" throat. A self-contained motor
driven grinding attachment involving a grinding carriage operating on a
slide which is removably mounted on rear table of machine may be fitted
together with a jointing stone carriage arranged to operate on the same slide.

cut, the rear one 40" long and one inch wider than the knives. Both tables
are steel lipped, fully adjustable and may be drawn apart to leave a throat
36" wide. A special tilting adjustment of tables to 5 degrees either way is
provided for pattern work. The cutter head yoke is of the one-piece type,
carries the cutter head in three self-oiling babbitted bearings, one located
outside the pulley and is rigidly belted to the bed. The journals are
diameter by 6" and 8"long and the cutter head is of a special two-kinfe round
type which mounts the thin jointing knives under caps which may be removed
for the purpose of using thick cutters of any kind. The cutting circle is 4 %"

Hand jointers have been changed from one of the most dangerous of wood
working machines to one of the safest by the use of proper guards and the
round thin knife cutter heads. Given a modern machine fitted with a round
cutter head, steel lipped tables and a small throat, and serious injury to the
operator is almost impossible.
Several methods of motor application to this type of machine are in
common use, each of which has advantages under certain conditions, among
which are the following:
“A” Motor of 1200 to 1800 R. P. M. mounted on floor or ceiling and
belted direct to cutter head pulley.
“B” Motcr of 1200 to 1800 R. P. M. mounted on attached bracket
and driving the cutter head through steel and rawhide spur or spiral gears.
“C” Motor of 3600 R. P. M. mounted on attached bracket and coupled
to the cutter head shaft by flexible coupling.
“D” Cutter head shaft extended to carry the rotor of a 3600 R. P. M.
motor, the housing of which is bolted direct to the machine frame.
Some or all of the above types of motor driven jointers are offered by all
the leading builders.
The Fay-Egan No. 506 machine is a new tool of advanced design built

Jointing Machines, Hand Feed, “V” Joint Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
The American Figure 820 Jointer is used for making single, double
or triple “V” glue joints on stock ranging from 6" to 48" in length. It may
also be used as a plain jointer by the substitution of a standard jointing head.
This tool is used where the amount of glue jointing does not indicate the
installation of a continuous chain feed machine.
This machine is built on the three-point type of frame and is of the same
general design as the standard jointers built by that company. Solid milled,
multi-tooth cutters are employed and are mounted on the arbor with spacing
collars and nut. The arbor is mounted in two self-oiling babbitted bearings
one of which is removable for changing cutters. Both tables are vertically
and horizontally adjustable, the vertical adjustment on long inclines. A cam
and lever actuated adjutsment is fitted to throw the rear table out of line for
making hollow joints. The fence is double faced and expands laterally for
the purpose of centering different thicknesses of stock on the cutter heads.
The faces of this fence are relieved so that the stock bears on the fence for
a short distance only directly over the cutter head which arrangement permits
of working crooked stock. Hold-up springs are fitted at each side of the
fence and the stock is run on one edge over one head and the other edge over
th? other cutter head. This machine is built in 8" and 12" sizes and the
standard round, thin knife cutter heads of those widths may be interchanged
with the special cutter head arbor. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted direct
to the 4000 to 4500 R. P. M. arbor. Floor space 32" and 36" wide by 84" long.

This machine is used for a variety of small work in all kinds of wood
working plants but is being largely superseded by the portable motor driven
type machine. The usual range of sizes is 4", 6" and 8" wide and the tool
comprises a complete jointing machine in miniature, being fitted with all the
adjustments and features of the standard machines. Round thin knife cutter
heads are employed and are driven by belts about two inches wide at speeds
ranging from 3200 to 4200 R. P. M. Many of the better class machines mount
the cutter heads in ball bearings. An average 4" machine will be fitted with
table about 24" long over all while the larger sizes will carry tables 40" to 48"
long. A typical 4" machine will require bench space 18" x 24", weigh 80 lbs.
to 100 lbs., and require y2 H. P. to operate to capacity. A six or eight inch
machine mounted on a cast iron pedestal (optional with most makers) will
take floor space approximating 20"x42", weight 300 lbs. to 350 lbs., and require
1 to 2 H. P.
The Oliver No. 144 machine of this type is built on a frame which is of the
same design as the frames used on the standard machines of that company.
The bed is mounted on a short pedestal at each end and the tables are adjusted
on long inclines. Cutter head is of the Oliver two-knife round type with
3 ys" cutting circle and is journaled in self-oiling babbitted bearings. Fence
is adjustable across table and tilts to 45 degrees. Front table is 24 " long, rearone 15 |ir long and both are 6 Mw wide. Tables lower for a maximum cut of
Yi" and when cutting y%’ the throat is 1' wide. Total height of tables from

The Sidney machine is designed for use where a limited amount of planing
is required and is built in 12", 16" and 20' widths for attachment to any
standard hand jointer. This attachment involves a housing which is mounted
on the jointer tables over the cutter head. This housing carries a lower
corrugated infeed roll which is located in the space beside the jointer cutter
head made by drawing back the front table. In addition to this feed roll
upper infeed and outfeed rolls are fitted. The lower roll is driven by belt,
in connection with gears, from the jointer countershaft, at 20 F. P. M. The
attachment is mounted on a gooseneck and may be readily removed as a unit.No. 606.
Jointing and Planing Machines, Combined Type.
Builders:
Hall & Brown Wood Working Machine Co.
This machine is designed for use in facing and leveling and at the same
operation dressing to thickness.
The design involves a one-piece cored pedestal which carries the 12"
cutter head and the standard type of jointer tables. Four-side square or
two-knife round cutter heads are optional. On the rear jointer table just back
of the cutter head is located a housing which carries a 12" top cutter head
together with two upper, driven feed rolls, the infeed roll being fluted. This
housing adjusts to take stock up to a maximum of 4" thick. Both cutter
heads are driven at 4600 R. P. M., by belts from countershaft. In operation
the stock is fed over the lower jointing head by hand until the feed rolls are
reached. The rolls then hold the jointed face firmly to the rear table and
feed the stock under the upper head which dresses it to thickness. Motor
of 5 to 7 y2 H. P. may be belted to the countershaft. Weight 1700 lbs.

Jointing Machine Power Feed Attachment.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
Nels J. Billstrom.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Jenkins Machine Co.
Smith Machinery Co.
The power feeding attachment for hand jointers is designed for use where
large quantities of stock are to be faced or taken out of wind. It has a capacity
several times as great as the hand feeding method and by its use a very
dangerous machine is converted into one on which it is very difficult to receive
an injury. It is not adapted to the edge jointing of stock of any considerable
width but may be used to some extent in squaring up stock within its range.
When used for facing the flexible feeding devices employed produced results
equal in every way to skilled hand feeding.
The American attachment is especially designed for use in connection
with the 16", 24" and 30" No. 1 jointing machines (600) but may be used
with any make of jointer. This device involves a heavy housing which extends
laterally across the rear table of the jointer just back of the cutter head. This
housing is fitted with sectional feed and pressure rolls and is revolvably mounted
on a cylindrical, cast column which is permanently attached to the rear of the
jointer frame. The housing is supported on the front side of frame by a
removable steel post. The housing and rolls may be thus readily swung back
out of the way to clear the jointer for hand feeding. The housing is vertically
adjustable through a range of 7" by screw and handwheel and is fitted with
two sectional feed rolls each section of which is independently weighted and
driven by a spur gear greater in diameter than the roll which it drives. The
feed works are driven from a horizontal shaft, at the base of the column,
which is fitted with an outboard bearing and a three-step friction clutch cone
pulley running on a self-oiling bronze sleeve. Power from this shaft is
transmitted, to the rolls through a vertical shaft and suitable gearing all
inclosed, and the cone pulley is driven by belt from the jointer countershaft.
The front table of the jointer is entirely clear and the stock is started over
the cutter head by hand until it enters the feed rolls. The flexible feed rolls
then feed the stock and hold it firmly with the jointed surface to the rear
table in the same manner as in hand feeding. The unjointed portion of theNo. 607, Continued
stock on the front table is free to assume any position dictated by the jointed
portion in contact with the rear table. The two feed rolls are very closely
spaced so that short stock may be worked. This attachment may be belted
from the jointer attachment or may be driven by an independent motor of
3 to 5 H. P. The complete machine including jointer occupies floor space of
54" to 69" wide by 84" long and weighs 3000 lbs. to 4800 lbs. Motor of 5
to 10 H. P. may be belted to countershaft. Feed rates of 15, 26 and 45 F. P. M.
are available.
The above machine is also built by the American Co. in a beltless, direct
motor driven form. This* machine except in the matter of driving is the same
as the machine just described. The feeding mechanism in this case is driven
by a motor mounted on a, bracket located above the feed roll housing. Motor
swings with the housing which is pivoted on the vertical column at the rear
of jointer and carries twcr gears which mesh with gears in an inclosed gear box
giving the choice of either of two speeds by the operation of a hand lever.
The horizontal shaft from the gear box drives a vertical shaft, housed within
the column, by worm and gear and the vertical shaft drives the feed rolls
through bevel gears, all inclosed. The cutter head of the jointer is driven
by a high-speed motor mounted directly on the spindle with its stator and
housing bolted to the jointer frame.
The Fay-Egan No. 467 Attachment is applicable to any make of hand
jointer and is built in various widths up to 30". This mechanism comprises
a housing mounted on vertical steel posts fastened to each side of the jointer
frame. The housing carries an endless chain feeding device of the same width
as the jointer tables. This endless feed chain extends over the cutter head
and is driven by sprocket chain from a sub-countershaft belt driven from
jointer countershaft. Range is for stock to a maximum thickness of 4".
The Jenkins No. 73 Attachment may be used in connection with any
jointer and is built in widths ranging from 12" to 36". It is adapted to
squaring up table legs and similar stock as well as to the facing of wide stock.
This attachment is built on an independent base from which a large cylindrical
column rises to carry a housing vertically adjustable through a ball bearing
screw and a handwheel at top of column. The housing is pivoted on column
and may be swung into position over the jointer table or may be, by releasing
a latch, readily swung back to clear the jointer for hand feeding. Within
the housing are mounted two sets of sectional feed rolls 5 A" in diameter,
free to adjust themselves within a range of A" horizontally and ]4" vertically,
to the surface of crooked and uneven stock. The machine has range for stock
the full width of the jointer and from A" to 4" thick. The feed works are
driven from a horizontal shaft at the base of attachment. by roller chains,
vertical shaft and suitable gearing all inclosed. The horizontal shaft is driven
from jointer countershaft through a four-step cone pulley giving feed rates
of 16, 24, 30 or 40 F. P. M. The complete attachment may be driven by an

This type machine is designed for making edge glue joints either straight
or sprung and is also used for squaring up and moulding edges of various
kinds of stock. May also be used for moulding the ends of stack six inches and
over in wi 1th.
A typical machine comprises a cored, one-piece base which carries at each
end a vertical shaft. These shafts are fitted at the top ends with special
sprockets which carry the flat, milled link, feed chain. The shaft at one
end is driven by inclosed worm and gear and is fitted with three rates of feed.
The width of the feed chain, three to five inches, lies in a vertical plane and is
milled into corrugations to give a grip on the stock. At each side of the base
is located a vertically adjustable knee which carries the laterally adjustable
cutter head arbor housing. Mounted on the inner ends of the spindles under
the outer face of the feed chain are the cutter heads which are usually of the
solid milled, circular, six wing type. Facing the chain on each side is a series
of idle pressure rolls mounted on vertical spindles and fitted with independent
spring tension and adjustment. These rolls are carried in a housing common
to each series. The housing is fitted wdth a lateral adjustment parallel with the
chain. The tables on which the stock rests before and after the cut are
adjustable.
In operation the feeder at one end feeds the stock on one side of the machine
and over the cutter head on that side, the feeder at the other end receives the
stock from the chain, turns the other edge down and feeds it back over the
other head on the other tangent of chain. To obtain full capacity of the
machine especially on fast feed and short stock a third helper is necessary
at the infeed end to receive the finished stock.
The Fay-Egan No. 429 machine is built on a cored frame in three sizes
to work stock ]4 " to 3" thick (on special order to 4 ") and 8, 12 or 16 feet long
and from a minimum of one inch wide upward. For extra long work as silo
staves an extended table with adjustable rest is provided. The feed chain
is driven by a three-step clutch cone, with hand lever control, in connectionNo. 608, Continued

MUSKEGON MACHINE CO.’S NEW SELECTRION GLUE JOINTER
The chain feed glue jointer just placed on the market by the Muskegon
Machine Co., Muskegon, Michigan, follows the general lines of the jointers
described in paragraph No. 609, but is fitted, in addition, with a device
called the “Selectrion” which has for some time been in successful use on
the Linderman Jointing Machine of the same builders.
This device involves a series of sensitive finding fingers, spaced on
four inch centers, which receive the edge of stock to be jointed and auto-
matically position it in relation to the cutter heads. The use of this
mechanism insures that a cut not to exceed one thirty second inch in depth
is removed from the deepest point in a curved or other irregularly edged
board. Crooked edged stock may thus be jointed, providing the necessary
cut to straighten same does not exceed one-half inch, without preliminary
straightening and without waste.
The machine is built on a substantial, cored, one piece, box type base
with vertical shafts at each end which carry the octagonal feed chain
sprockets. Feed chain is built up from interchangeable, flat, steel links
with knurled faces and runs over adjustable beds and gibs which insure
accurate travel. Chain is driven at 30, 40, 60 or 80 F.P.M. by a 3 H.P.
motor in connection with an enclosed gear transmission with control levers
at operating station. The individually spring tensioned press rolls are
21/4" in diameter and turn on one inch pins with competent provision for
lubrication. The entire series of press rolls on each side of the chain is
mounted in a suitable housing which is provided with parallel adjustment
to or from the chain by hand wheels at operating station.
The circular type cutter heads are machined from high grade steel
and are mounted directly on the spindles of 4 H.P., 3600 R.P.M. ball bear-
ing, G. E. Motors. These motors are so mounted that they project but
slightly from the machine frame and thus conserve floor space. The
machine is also built for belt drive.
This machine is built in one size with range for stock 1,4" to 4" thick,
1" and up in width and from 4" to 72" long. Extensions may be fitted to
provide for a maximum length of 96" if required. It will be understood
that stock of any length may be jointed, but where the above maximum
lengths are exceeded the automatic regulation of the cut is to some extent
sacrificed. Floor space 42" x 228". Weight 4800 lbs.Addition To 609

New Jenkins Glue Jointer with Automatic Return Feed
The Jenkins Machine Co.’s No. 343A-RF Chain Feed Glue Jointer,
illustrated herewith, is a new and unique production from the shops of
these pioneer builders of glue jointers of the chain feed type. The No. 343A
Jointer has been newly designed from the ground up and embodies many
improvements over the old No. 3CD machine which is superseded. It is
built on a cored, one piece, box type base which is provided with an internal
shaving flue, 6 inches in diameter, with opening above the floor line. The
tables are adjusted upon long, accurately fitted inclines on the base and
the infeed tables are fitted with adjustable, steel chipbreakers.
The carefully fitted, crucible steel arbors, 2 inches in diameter, are
carried in three large, *Hess-Bright, deep groove, ball bearings and are
driven by the direct mounted, cast aluminum rotors of 5 H.P., 3450 R.P.M.
motors. The motor housings with stator and bearings are provided with
horizontal adjustment only. The feed chain is composed of milled, cast
iron links, 1 inch thick and 5 inches wide. It runs in adjustable races and
may be set to produce straight or hollowT joints. Chain and ways are lubri-
cated from wells of oil and the drive is from an 8-inch octagon cam
mounted on a 2i/2-inch shaft which is journaled in two ball bearings 4%,
inches diameter. A lever controlled, gear transmission, in an oil tight cas-
ing and with ball bearings shafts, makes available feed rates of 29, 50, 82
F.P.M. Motor of 2 H.P. is geared direct to the feed works.
The pressure beams each carry thirteen, knurled, loose bushed rollers,
three inches in diameter by three and a half inch face. The roll pins are
large in diameter, ground true and fitted with a patented system of lubri-
cation. The rolls have an independent yield of % inch and the pressure
beams are independently or simultaneously adjustable to take stock from
inch to 4*A inches thick. Stock as narrow as % inch and as short as
6 inches may be run. The bronze cutter heads carry ten knives on a 10-inch
cutting circle and are ground by a special grinder mounted on the ma-
chine. This large cutting circle gives a rim speed, at 3,450 R.P.M., of over
9,000 F.P.M. or the equivalent of a 5-inch head at 7,000 R.P.M. Floor
space 84 x 132 inches. Net weight 5,000 pounds.
The Automatic Return Feed Unit which eliminates one operator is
built, as an independent unit, on a cored pedestal and is driven from the
jointer. This machine involves a movable table which receives the stock
from the first run of the jointer, turns it over and drops it on a carrier
belt, speeded faster than the jointer feed, which delivers it to the second
run of jointer. Stock may be of different lengths, fed alternately and
butt on.No. 609.

This is a new type machine designed for glue jointing and edge moulding
of the same class as performed on the ordinary type of chain feed machine
with horizontal arbors. The essential features of this new machine are a single,
vertical cutter head spindle which carries a head designed for cutting a
reversible tongue and groove joint, two feed chains traveling in the bed in
opposite directions one on each side of the cutter head, together with a series
of spring tensioned press rolls.
The machine is built on a well designed, box type base upon which is
mounted an accurately fitted cast iron table through the center of which the
cutter head spindle projects. This spindle carries a six-knife, vertically
adjustable head with an 8" cutting circle. Spindle is mounted in two, high-
grade ball bearings and driven at 3600 R. P. M. by a vertical motor of 5 H. P.,
mounted in the base of machine and flexibly coupled to the lower end of spindle.
Running slightly above the surface of the table, one on each side of the cutter
head are the two feed chains composed of No. 160 Diamond chain with special
attachment links which are fitted with serrated cast iron blocks. The feed
works are driven by a cut gear and steel roller chain mechanism which derives
power from the main motor through a belt over guide pulleys to a worm gear
reducing motion. Two feed rates, 48 and 75 F. P. M., are controlled by a
hand lever. Above the table is a housing which carries a series of independently
spring tensioned press rolls which hold the stock firmly to the chains. The
machine may be fed by two operators in the usual manner or it may be fed
by one man working on one side of the table. In any event the stock is run
face down past one side of the cutter head and is returned on the other chain
face up to cut the mating joint. Adjustable guides governing the amount
of cut as well as a detachable guide for use in sizing stock to width are fitted.

Jointing Machines, Continuous Feed, Saw Type, Direct Motcr Driven.
Builders:
G. M. Diehl Machine Works.
The Diehl No. 44 Saw Jointing Machine is a direct motor driven ball bear-
ing tool designed for making glue joints by the use of a saw mounted on an arbor
positioned parallel with the surface of the stock to be jointed. This machine
also incorporates an attachment for sizing the assembly of jointed stock so
that edge waste is practically eliminated. The principle upon which the
machine operates contemplates an 11", 12 gauge circular saw mounted on
a direct motor driven arbor located below the table and served by a traveling
bed running in very accurately fitted ways. The stock is held firmly to the
traveling bed by a series of idle press rolls. The machine is built on a one-piece
cored frame of box type fitted with large removable plates for access to the
internal mechanism. On the top of this frame is mounted a cast iron table
about 40"xl20" long. Running in the center of this table is the feed chain
which comprises 38 cast iron, knurled, links each 4" wide by 1 thick. This
chain is guided by a gib 1 A" thick by 3" wide which extends the entire length
of machine. The chain drive is from a 1 H. P. motor fitted with two speeds,
900 and 1200 R. P. M., which carries on its shaft a hardened and ground
steel worm 3A" in diameter which runs in oil and drives a phosphor bronze
worm gear 17" in diameter. From the worm gear shaft the chain driving
sprocket shaft is driven by a hardened steel roller chain running in oil overNo. 611, Continued
milled steel sprockets. The chain driving sprocket as well as the idle sprocket
are mounted on shafts journaled in Hyatt roller bearings. Over the feed
chain is located the pressure bar mounted on heavy cast supports and adjustable
vertically, in perfect parallelism, by handwheel and shaft with worms which
engage nuts at each end of pressure bar. This bar is fitted with fourteen double
pressure rolls 2 y2" diameter mounted on %" pins and fitted with ample
lubricating provision. Independent spring tension of 80 lbs., is applied to
each roll and the brackets in which the rolls are mounted swivel on a pivot
with the stock so that friction is minimized. The jointing saw is mounted
on the chrome-nickel steel rotor shaft of a 5 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. motor. This
shaft is mounted in Skayef ball bearings. Removable plate in the base permits
of changing saws without breaking set-up. The motor control is interconnected
in such manner that while the saw may be run with the chain at rest, the chain
cannot be started unless the saw is in motion. An edging gauge for governing
the amount jointed from the edge of the stock operates through the infeed
table by means of small lever at end of frame. A removable gauge for use
in sizing stock to a width is also provided. The electrical wiring throughout
the machine is installed in metal conduit. Automatic switch box on end of
frame carries a no-voltage release. Push buttons may be locked in “off”
position and motor in this case cannot be started until lock lever is released
and button pushed. Either speed of the feed motor is instantly available
through lever and push button. Range is to joint stock up to 17" wide in
lengths from 7" upward and from H" to thick (3" with 12" saw). Feed
rates are 53 and 69 F. P. M. Floor space 40"xl20". Height of table 36".
Weight 4000 lbs.
The Laying-Up Table is an independent unit which may or may not
be applied to this jointer. If used the system contemplates the off bearer
of the jointer laying the stock as jointed on the laying-up table, and when
the assembly has reached a width in excess of that required, sizing same to
width and returning the edging to form part of the next assembly thus saving
a large part of the edging waste. This attachment involves a cast iron table
which carries the saw arbor in bearings bolted to its lower surface. Arbor
extends beyond the table to the right and is driven by direct attached rotor
of a 3 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. motor. This attachment is bolted to the side of
jointer with the table flush with the jointer table and the 12" saw not far
from the jointer table. Motor is on outboard end of arbor. Heavy cast
braces running to the jointer base support the saw table. A sizing-up gauge
with long, adjustable right angle stop travels in a table slot and has range
to size stock to a maximum size of 35" wide by 60" long. Floor space of
attachment 50"x53". Weight 500 lbs.. 612.
Jointing, Gluing, Pressing and Sizing Machine, Linderman Type.
Builders:
Muskegon Machine Co
This machine is used in furniture, casket, cabinet, interior finish, box,
cooperage and other classes of wood work. Rough edged stock of even or uneven
lengths and of varying thickness, within reasonable limits, is jointed with a
tapered, wedge, dovetail tongue and groove joint, the glue applied and the
stock united and built-up into complete panels of any desired width. The
crew required to operate the machine is composed of the operator who is
stationed in the center of machine and two feeders, one at each end. The
boards to be united are fed into the machine simultaneously from each end
and travel towards each other on endless chains which lap in the center of
the machine running side by side and close to each other. The cutter heads
on one end of the machine past which the stock is fed, cut the tapered, dovetail,
tongue, and similar cutters, located at the other end of the machine, cut
the tapered groove to match the tongue.
The stock after passing the cutter heads comes into contact with the
glue wheels which thoroughly coat the joints with hot glue. As the jointed
and glued boards approach the center of the machine the small end of the
taper tongue slides into the large end of the taper groove and continues on
until the boards are evened at one end, at which time the taper has been
forced home and the joint drawn tightly together. The jointed boards are
then ejected at the center of machine and returned by the operator to the
feeder at one end who feeds the piece back into the machine where another
board fed by the other feeder is united with the first two boards. This process
is continued until the panel has reached a greater width than is required.
The center operator then sizes the panel to width on the chain feed sizing
saw, which is part of the equipment, and feeds the edging back into the machine
to form part of the next panel thus entirely eliminating edging waste.
The machine is also used for gluing the edge of one piece of stock on the
side of another for the purpose of making angles which are used as blanks
for corners, legs, rails, etc., in furniture work and for running heavy mouldings
from. Edge moulding of any required shape is also accomplished and the
stock is at the same time straightened by special tooling. For preparing the
blanks from which various shapes are sawed out in furniture work, short stock
may be glued to one or both edges of longer stock and evened at one end.
Where circles are desired the tripping mechanism may be set to step down
shorter stock on both edges of a longer center strip and from an approx'mate
circle. The making of frames as used in furniture and cabinet work in which
the rails are fitted with a dovetail tongue and the stiles are cut with a dovetail,
tapered groove their whole length is another operation which is successfully
handled. Stock for hexagon or octagon columns may be run through the
machine, on forms to give the required bevel, jointed and glued, and assembled
by hand. Short waste blocks which may be as small as 1 wide by 4" long
are glued into core stock for doors, panels and similar stock. These small
blocks are built up on an edging strip which forms the face edge of panel or
stile. This class of stock is fed from a magazine at feed rates running from
30 to 50 F. P. M. Another class of work to which the machine is well suited
is the jointing of transverse cleats on the end grain of desk tops, slides, pastry
boards and similar work. This work is accomplished at feeds running from
20 to 30 F. P. M., or if backing strips are used to prevent tearing out at end
of cut the feed may be increased to 40 to 50 F. P. M.
The range of the standard machine is for stock from rt" to 3" thick,
from 1 H"up in width and as short as 10" up to the maximum length of machine.
Special equipment may be furnished whereby strips as narrow as ys" and core
stock down to 4" long can be worked. Stock up to 5" thick may also be
provided for. The joints may consist of one or more dovetails depending
on the thickness and resawing requirements of the stock. The capacity onNo. 612, Continued
short stock is limited only by the ability of the feeders to handle the stock.
On fine solid work of the highest class in hard woods the feed runs from 40 to
60 F. P. M. of completed joint and on coarser work it may be increased to
60 to 80 F. P. M. Three rates of feed are fitted.
The machine is built on a heavy cored frame in two sections which are
joined in the center. Located at each end of the machine on opposite sides
is a feeding station and in the center is the operator’s station where the stock
is ejected and the sizing saw located. In the base of machine at each end is
located a countershaft from which the cutter heads on that end of the machine
are belted. Suitable motors may be coupled to these countershafts.
Running toward the center of the machine from each end and lapping
in the center are the horizontal feed chains. These chains are composed of
milled links 3 y2" wide, 8" long and 2)4" thick with corrugated faces. Milled
in the bottom of these links are two “V” grooves which travel on hand fitted
tracks on the main frame. The links are fitted with lugs or dogs which
automatically rise and fall in step with the other functions of the machine.
Located over each feed chain is a pressure bar which is composed of steel
plates carrying a series of rollers mounted in vertical yokes and fitted with
independent, adjustable, spring tension. These pressure rollers hold the
stock firmly to the feed chains while it is being jointed, glued and assembled
and are automatically released when the stock is to be discharged.
The fence or gauge, located at each end of feeding tables, against which
the stock is placed when fed into the machine is fitted with a quick-acting,
lever operated transverse adjustment and a graduated dial which indicates
the amount of cut. The feeder places the concave edge of board against
this fence and notes the amount of cut necessary to straighten same and sets
the fence for the required cut as shown on the dial.
A new type of gauge is also offered by the builders. This gauge is called
the “Selectrion” and is claimed to automatically adjust the cut to any curve
on the edge of the stock keeping the cut within a limit of A" o? the deepest
part of the curve. The average saving on 6" boards is said to be 12%. This
attachment is mounted in place of the regular gauge.
The cutter head spindles, two of which are located at each end of the
machine, are set at opposite angles from the vertical so that one cutter head
undercuts the bottom edge of tongue or groove and the other head under-
cuts the top edge. The cutter heads are of the disc type and carry four cone
shaped, circular, milled cutters which have an exceedingly long life and due
to the design of the disc are readily set in exact cutting position. The spindles
which carry these heads are tapered the full length (except where the pulley
is mounted) from a diameter of 2 ]4" at the top to 1 \i" diameter at the bottom
end. The pulleys are mounted on these spindles on a taper, split, self-centering
sleeve which is drawn into a taper seat in the pulley by a threaded section of the
pulley. The bearings for the spindles are of phosphor bronze.
The housings in which the spindles are mounted are hung on ball bearing
hmge shafts located at the ends of two armed sleeves mounted on eccentric
shafts. The eccentric shafts are carried on the end of a rocking beam the
movement of which is governed by a cam. One revolution of the cam regulates
the cutter heads causing the first head on the tongue end of machine to rise,
and the second head on the same end to lower which motion of the cutter
heads produces a straight taper from end to end of the stock. On the groove
end of the machine the action of the heads is reversed and cuts the widest
end of the groove on the incoming end of the stock. The standard taper
is fg" to the length of stock regardless of what that length may be. The
actuating cam is timed by the use of change gears to complete one revolution
in the time required for the stock to travel its owm length.
When the wide ended groove meets the narrow ended tongue on the
approaching stock there is no contact and the tongue passes two-thirds of the
distance down the groove before the two pieces touch each other. The glueNo. 612, Continued
therefore which has been applied to the full length of both pieces is carried
well into the joint and is forced into the wood as the tapers tighten up and
force the joint together at the end of travel.
A device is fitted at the center of the machine whereby one end of the stock
is brought to a straight line regardless of the variation in the individual pieces
up to a maximum of 2". This device comprises a swinging spring finger which
is pivoted at the outside of one chain and reaches out over that chain and
stops the board approaching on the other chain. As the board on the near
chain arrives at the finger the apparatus trips the pressure rolls and discharges
the stock.
The gluing mechanism comprises a removable steam or electric heated
container in which a driven brush wheel revolves and thoroughly coats the
jointed edge of the stock. In the rear of the brush wheel is located a stationary
brush which wipes off the surplus glue and returns it to the tank.
The adjustments of the machine are grouped at one station in the center
of the machine. The lug raising mechanism, the taper wedge mechanism
and the raising of the pressure rolls operate as a unit and are governed by
change gears located in the gear box. In changing from one thickness to
another, threaded collars are set to a dial mark. The size of tongue and groove
is adjusted by a handwheel.
A special cutter grinder is built by the same makers and is designed
especially for the proper grinding of the circular cone shaped cutters of the
foregoing machine. The machine may however, be used on other types of
cutters and heads to good advantage. Machine is built on an iron pedsteal
of cored, rectangular section which carries on an overhanging arm the grinding
wheel spindle. This spindle is fitted with a six-inch cup wheel and revolves
3500 R. P. M. in Skayef ball bearings. On the top of pedestal on horizontal
slides located at right angles to the grinding spindle is located the ball bearing
carriage. This carriage is fitted with suitable tool holding fixtures and gauges
and is traversed past the wheel by hand. Weight 300 lbs. Floor pace 16 "xl6 ".
Motor of 2 H. P. may be belted to grinding spindle, displacing the counter-
shaft which is mounted on side of pedestal.
The chain feed edging saw used with the jointing machine is built on a
substantial one-piece frame with the arbor below the table which is of iron.
Range is for panels 37" wide between the saw and gauge. Feed works comprise
an endless chain with milled links running in the table close to the saw and a
series of four pressure rolls located in a housing above the chain. Top of
chain is corrugated at an angle so that stock is forced against the gauge.
Pressure roll housing is pivoted on opposite side of table from gauge and may
be swung back out of the way. Drive to feed is by friction disc and worm
and gear direct on sprocket shaft. Hand lever control. Weight 1750 lbs.
Motor of 10 H. P. any speed may be belted to countershaft.

This type machine is used for making inside cuts in scroll work which can
not be reached by the band scroll saw. The principle involved is that of
a vertical, reciprocating saw blade, with spring tension, which makes 1200 or
more strokes per minute and is guided top and bottom.
Two types of the standard machine are built, the first one having top
slides and tension devices mounted on a wood post pendent from the ceiling
of the room where installed. This stub post is direetly over the table of the
machine and is guyed to insure rigidity. The second type is built on a one-piece
gooseneck frame or is fitted with extension bolted to the rear of table and
carries the top works in a self-contained manner. The first type of course,
has an unlimited swing while the second type usually swings about 36" from
column to saw. The decreased swing is balanced by the inherent advantages
of a self-contained machine. An air pump and tubing is fitted for the purpose
of clearing the dust from the lines and also for cooling the saw blade.
The usual construction of the base of either type machine involves a cast
pedestal which carries a wood or iron table about 36"x36" in size which may be
stationary or of the tilting type. At the base of the pedestal is located a
horizontal shaft with disc crank on the front end and tight and loose or friction
pulleys at the rear. A combined, pedal operated, clutch or belt shifter and brake
gives instant control of the cross head, usually of brass, located in vertical
slides just below the table and driven by a light wooden pitman from the
disc crank. Above the table is a spring tensioned cross head in which the
end of saw is hooked, the lower end being hooked to cross head below the
table. Crankshaft speeds range from 800 to 1200 R. P. M. and the usual stroke
is 3 W' to 4 r long. Blades from %" to %" wide by 12" to 20" long are
commonly used and the range is to cut stock 8 " to 10" thick. The floor space
varies from 36"x36" to 36"x64" arid the self-contained type is 84" to 96"
high over all. Weights range from 350 lbs., for a wood frame machine up to
1200 lbs., for a cored frame, self-contained type. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may
be coupled to crank shaft and should be fitted with a friction clutch to obviate
the constant stopping and starting of motor. Some types of machines usually
the smaller ones are fitted with a vertical boring spindle above the table for
use in boring saw entry holes.
The American line includes the Figure 5221 machine which has inde-
pendent top works, is speeded at 1200 R. P. M., requires 36"x39" floor space
and weighs 600 lbs. The Figure 5241 is of the self-contained, gooseneck
type and is speeded at 1200 R. P. M., requires 36"x64" floor space and weighs

The Royle jig saws are very highly developed, carefully built tools designed
especially for electrotypers use but well adapted to any email and medium
work. These machines are built on cored pedestals with broad floor flange
and circular cast iron tables 14" to 24" diameter. Oblong tables may also
be fitted. Base of machine is mounted on rubber cushions designed to promote
steadiness and quiet operation. Boring attachments involving a vertical,
lever operated spindle driven by a flat be’t running over guide pulleys from
countershaft in base may be applied. Control of boring spindle is inter-
connected with that of the saw and i& seated in one pedal which serves to start
the boring spindle and simultaneously stop the saw or vice-versa. The top
works are mounted on a cored gooseneck which springs from the pedestal
below the table and affords a swung of 17" column to saw. The saw is tensioned
by two horizontal wooden levers wrhich are located one above and one below
the table and are connected at the front ends to the ends of the saw blade
and at the rear by a screw adjusted tension rod. These levers are pivoted

Knife Balancing Scales.
Builders:

Hall & Brown W. W. Machine Co.
Knives used on rapidly revolving cutter heads must not only be in perfect
standing balance but they must be in running balance as well. To be in
running balance the weight of the knives as a whole must not only be equal,
which would constitute a standing balance, but the weight in each knife must
be so distributed that the parts revolving in the same plane shall be of equal
weight which will constitute a running balance.
The proportional type of balancing scales comprises a beam balanced
on knife edges and fitted with a flat table at one end and delicately adjustable
weights at the other. The knives to be balanced are placed on the table in
succession all in one position in relation to the weights and fitted until they
all show the same balance. This process is repeated with the knives in different
positions until a satisfactory running balance is obtained. Various other
types of scales are built for accomplishing the same results.

Knife Setting and Jointing Machines.

S. A. Woods Machine Co.
P. B Yates Machine Co.
It is universally conceded that the knives of cutter heads employed on
fast feed moulding and planing machines must be jointed at operating speed
in order to insure the knife edges all revolving in the same circle. The jointing
operation comprises the passing of an abrasive stone across the knives when
they are running at full speed. The jointing stone is mounted in a carriage
with delicate adjustment and just touches the knives bringing all to a perfect
circle and leaving a slight heel or flat spot just back of the edge on each knife.
Two methods are employed for the accomplishment of this jointing
operation. The first contemplates mounting fixtures on the planing or moulding
machine and jointing the knives on the machine spindles. The second method
comprises an independent machine for the jointing which machine is fitted
with spindles duplicating the planer or moulder spindles in size and speed.
This machine is usually located in the tool room.
The advantage of the tool room method lies in the fact that the heads
may be set up, jointed and made ready while the machine on which they
are to be used is running on another job thus conserving machine time and
avoiding long setting-up shut downs. The disadvantage of this method is
due to the fact that the spindle on which the heads are to be used may not
be in just the same condition or state of repair as the jointing machine spindle
and the results of the jointing notwithstanding the self-centering heads may
thus be nullified. Slight irregularity of the cutting machine spindle may be
rectified by the jointing operation on the same spindle whereas the tool room
process will do nothing to correct it. The machines herein described are for
tool room use.
The American No. 50-B Side and Frofile Head Jointer is used for jointing
profile heads of 10" long and any type of side heads. The machine is built
on a cored pedestal and carries the horizontal spindle on the top in three
self-oiling bearings one of which is removable so that heads may be mounted
between bearings. The side head jointing device comprises a carriage fitted
wnth three jointing stones which are laterally adjustable. The carriage adjusts
horizontally in gibbed ways. The profile head jointing carriage is fitted with
a single jointing stone, the lateral position of which is governed by a metal
template, a tracing finger and the cross slides of the carriage. The carriage
is fed longitudinally by handwheel and screw. Motor of 1 to 2 H. P., 1800
R. P. M., may be mounted on the ceilirg and belted direct to the spindle. Floor
space 24"x48". Weight 2700 lbs. This tool is also built in combination with
several grinding devices
The Yates M-5 machine is of the bench type and comprises a cored base
which carries a double-ended horizontal spindle in two bearings with pulley
between and overhanging ends on w7hich heads are mounted for jointing.
Below the spindle in front of and parallel with it is mounted a round steel bar
upon which the yokes which carry the jointing stones are free to slide and at
the same time pivot. Provision is made over the jointing spindle for mounting
metal templates which govern the lateral position of the jointing stones through
tracing fingers carried in the top of the yoke which holds the stone. Bench
space 26"x28*\ Motor of 2 H. P. may be mounted on ceiling and belted
direct to spindle. Weight 250 lbs. Yates M-2 machine is similar to above
except that the spindle carries on one end a saucer wheel for grinding cutter
heads. Suitable carriage is fitted for this grinding rig.
The Woods No. 229 machine is used for jointing and setting up all kinds
of profile heads, side heads and detachable cutting units of any type. The
machine comprises an iron table mounted upon legs which carry the counter-shaft. Upon the table is located the double-ended spindle upon which the
heads are mounted for jointing. The carriage in which the jointing stones
are mounted operates on horizontal ways parallel with the spindle and is
of the compound type. Metal template governs position of stone in jointing
detail knives.

Knife Jointing Device.
Builders:
C. 0. Porter Machinery Co.
This is a simple hand tool employed for jointing the knives on hand jointers
and similar machines bringing them to a true cutting circle while the head is
revolving at speed and is designed for use where built-in jointing devices are
not installed. This tool involves a small casting which bridges the opening
between the jointer tables and is fitted to carry an adjustable jointing stone
over the center of the cutter head. In operation a temporary gauge consisting
of a straight piece of board is clamped across the front table of the jointer
table, at such distance from the cutter head, as will bring the jointing stone over
the center of the head when one leg of the tool is in contact with the gauge.
The tool is then adjusted so that the stone wall just touch the knives and is
moved back and forth across the table, while the cutter head is at full speed,
until the knives have been brought to a perfect cutting circle. It should be
noted that neither this nor any other jointing process is intended as a cure
for inaccurate setting of the knives. Jointing operations of any kind whether
performed on the machine or on a tool room jointing arbor are intended to
care for the slight throw out which is unavoidable in the best balanced cutter
heads. Another function of the jointer is to fit the knives with a new and
sharp edge at the expense of a gradually increasing heel.

Lath Saws, Gang Type for Resawn Cants.
Builders:
Mereen Johnson Machine Co.
D. J. Murriy Mfg. Co.
A system of getting out lath which is coming into use in mills cutting
the higher class of timber eliminates the bolting saw and employs in its place
a horizontal band, slab resaw which cuts the slabs into boards to 1" thick.
The cants coming from the resaw are ripped into lath, box or crate stock
according to the thickness. The machines described herein are designed
for ripping these cants in the most economical manner.
The Murray No. 106 Box Board and Lath Edger is built upon a frame
composed of cast end and center frames connected by steel channel girts.
This frame carries the horizontal arbor with 8"x9" driving pulley between
bearings. Eleven rip saws are also mounted between bearings. The table
located above the arbor, is in two sections, one side being 16" wide between
the stationary guides and the other 24" wide. On the 16" side the arbor p
fitted with a gang collar upon which nine saws are spaced 1 y" for cutting
lath from the ¡Hi" cants. On the 24" side two saws are located, one in a fixed
location 4" or 6" from the stationary gauge and the other movable by means
of a lever and notched bar. The feed rolls are of steel, fluted, and driven by
belt from shaft located on machine frame which shaft is belted from the main
countershaft below the floor. Heavy top press rolls are fitted. Stock as short
as 16" may be ripped with perfect safety. Saws are twelve-inch and are
driven at 3000 R. P. M. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P. may be belted to counter-
shaft.
The Mereen-Johnson No. 50 machine for this work is fitteed for doing
exactly the same class of work as the Murray and is built along the same lines.
The working parts of this machine are all carried on a cast iron bed plate
which is mounted upon a heavy timber frame. Arbor runs in three bearings,
one outside the drive pulley and one, which is removable, on end outside the
saws. Arbor on the lath side cairies nine 10", sixteen-gauge saws spaced 1
and driven at 3000 R. P. M. by a 7"x6" pulley. Box or crate stock side is
fitted with one stationary and one lever operated shifting saw. Feed works
similar to the Murray machine. Motor of 10 to 15 H. P. may be belted

This machine is used for bundling the lath and at the same operation
trimming the ends of the bundle to length. The usual design involves a pair
of “A” frames which carry the horizontal arbor with pulley between bearings
and a cut-off saw about 30" in diameter on each end. A bundler of the type
described in the last paragraph is pivoted on the frames near the floor. In
operation the bundler is pulled back, filled and tied and before the pressure
is released the bundler is tilted forward between the saws which trim bcth
ends to exact length. Motor of 5 to 10 H. P. may be belted to the arbor
which should make about 800 R. P. M.
The Lane machine departs from the usual construction in the fact that
two arbors are employed, one at the top of each end frame. The saws are
flush mounted on the inner ends of these arbors and are given a slight lead_ so
that they do not bind at the back. This design has the advantage of using
much smaller sa ws, those on the standard Lane machine being 18" diameter.

The Oliver No. 22 Extra Heavy Universal Lathe is designed for an
exceedingly wide range of very close, accurate, pattern work and combines the
features of the face plate lathe with th( advantages of the standard carriage
type.
This machine is built on a “T” shaped floor plate of cast iron 150" long
and 38" wide at head stock end by 24" wide at the tail stock. An extension
floor plate 95" long carries the rest pedestal. This entire floor plate is 4"
in thickness and is fitted with a series of “T” slots at right angles to each other
covering the entire surface. The head stock is mounted on a heavy cored
pedestal of square section which is bolted to the floor plate. Spindle is 3 A"
in diameter with a 1" bore from end to end and a No. 4 Morse Taper hole in nose
and is mounted in self-oiling babbit bearings. The head stock cone which
carries four steps for a 4^' belt is mounted on a self-oiling bronze sleeve
which is free to revolve on the spindle. At each end of the spindle is located
a spur driving gear, the one at the rear end being keyed to the spindle. When
the back gear is not required the cone is connected to this gear by a spring
plunger and drives the spindle direct. The gear at the head end of spindle
is keyed to the cone and when slow spindle speed and greater power is indicated
the cone runs loose on the spindle and drives the back gears on a parallel
spindle through this gear and the back gears in turn drive the gear at rear end
which is keyed to the spindle. The back gears are mounted on a hollow spindle
with eccentric core which is fitted with lever for engaging or disengaging
the gears.
The carriage with tool post is mounted on an independent cored pedestal
which may be bolted to the floor plate by means of the “T” slots at any point
as indicated by the job in hand. The top of the pedestal is graduated and
the bed upon which the tool carriage operates may be set at any angle. The
carriage is fitted with a cross slide and graduated swivel rest and is operated
on the bed by crank with cut gear and rack. Both the cross slide and the
swivel rest are provided with long traverse, screw feeds. The tail stock is
also mounted upon an independent cored pedestal and may be adjusted to
or from the head stock in the “T” slots by means of a crank operated rack
and pinion. Spindle is 3" in diameter and has a traverse of 8". The counter-
shaft is fitted with double tight and loose pulleys which gives the spindle 560
to 1480 R. P. M., with the fast pair, 130 to 365 R. P. M., with the slow pair
and the back gear provides 30 to 90 R. P. M., for the spindle. Range is to
swing 96" over the floor plate, 104" at rear of head stock and take 78" between
centers. Motor drive may be fitted in the same manner as on the No. 26
Gap Lathe using a 5 H. P. motor. Weight 9800 lbs. Other smaller tools
of the same general type are built by the same makers.No. 641.

This type lathe is used for turning all kinds of balls, small handles and
other turnings up to about five or six inches long. The turnings may be bored
at the time they are turned and tenons may be accurately sized on one or
both ends of spindles and other similar turnings. The work is produced in
large quantities and is very true and smooth.
The standard lathe of this type as built by all the above makers except
the Defiance Machine Works has range for turnings up to about 3" in diameter
by 6" long. Special lathes of the same type are built to turn larger than the
above sizes. The principle involved in this type lathe is that of a rapidly
revolving blank the end of which is formed, bored and cut off by suitable tools
mounted in the center carriage and tad stock. This operation is repeated
until the entire length of blank except a short stub end remaining in the screw
chuck, has been consumed.
The machire embodies a bed with horizontal ways one of which is usually
flat and the other of “V” shape upon which are mounted a head stock, a
center carriage and a tail stock. The head stock carries a spindle, mounted
in bronze, engine type bearings and fitted with a two-step cone pulley, on
the nose of which is mounted a tapered, screw chuck which centers and grips
the blank by the four comers. The central tool carriage slides freely on the
ways and is fitted with a bell mouthed die, the bore of which is slightly larger
than the greatest diameter of the turning to be made. At the mouth of this
die is a fixed roughing knife provided with ample adjustment in several
directions. The office of this knife is to round the blank to a cylinder that
will just fit the hole in die and it may be set to lead into the cut so that it will
exert considerable pull on the carriage ard assist in feeding same. Mounted
on the central carriage just in the rear of the die, toward the tail stock, are
located the swinging front knife bed or holder and the cutting-off knife slide.
The front tool holder is pivoted so that it swings upward and forward thus
giving the formed finishing knife which it carries a very advantageous cutting
motion. The cutting-cff knife operates in a vertical slide which is fully
adjustable and may be located at any required distance from the bell mouthed
die. The front tool holder and the cutting-off tool slide are inter-connected
to a swinging knee lever so that pressure on the knee pad causes the front
forming knife to swing forward, form the turning and recede. Continued
pressure on the knee pad then causes the cutting-off knife to rise, sever the
completed turning from the blank and recede. The tail stock slides freely
on the ways and is operated by a long double jointed hand lever which is
pivoted at a point some distance in the rear of the bed so that the operating
handle is in a convenient position at either extreme of tail stock travel. The
tail stock is fitted with suitable adjustable stops for the purpose of maintaining
it at a fixed distance from the central tool carriage. The tail spindle is slidable
through the tail stock for adjustment but does not rotate and is fitted with a
taper hole for the reception of boring bits, bit or tenon chucks, cup centers
or other tools. A back rest with “T” slot is also mounted on the tail stock
and extends six or eight inches toward the head stock in a position parallel
with the spindle. This back rest is designed to carry various types of fixed
hook or other tools the purpose of which is to reduce the diameter of the end
of blank to fit female tenon chucks. It may also be used to rough down the
end of blank and thus reduce the amount of stock to be cut away by the formed
finishing tool. As an example of the use of this back rest the case of a ball
with a long shank may be cited. This turning would require a front forming
tool to cover the ball and a short section of shank only, the balance of theNo. 641, Continued
shank being accurately sized and fed into a female socket by a hook tool
mounted in the back rest tool post.
In operation the blank which may be approximately 36" long is grasped
in the operator’s left hand with one end entered in the bell mouthed die on
central carriage and the other end in front of the rapidly revolving screw
chuck on head spindle. A pull on the tail stock lever by the operator’s right
hand then forces the tail stock as well as the central carriage toward the head
stock and mounts the blank. Continued movement of the tail stock lever
feeds the blank through the die until it contacts with a stop on the boring
bit in tail spindle, or in case the turning is not bored, a cup center or other
stop mounted in place of the bit. Operation of the knee lever then forms
and cuts off the turning. During the cut of the forming knife the bit remains
in the hole for the purpose of steadying the blank and is withdrawn just before
the turning is cut off. The above cycle of operations is repeated until the
blank is consumed up to the short stub mounted in the screw chuck, this stub
is then knocked out by a slight blow from the next blank, or by an automatic
ejector and a fresh blank mounted. The cutting-off tool slide may be fitted
with various special tools for sizing tenons, completing the round of a ball,
etc. The satisfactory operation of this type lathe depends largely on the
ingenuity displayed in tooling up and the output will range from 200 to 2000
pieces per hour dependent on the size of the turnings and the skill of the
operator. A motor of 3 to 7 j/2 H. P., may be fitted with a two-step cone
pulley and used in place of the overhead countershaft to drive the head spindle
at rates ranging from 2500 to 3500 R. P. M Weights approximate 900 lbs.
to 1200 lbs.
A snipping chuck is sometimes used for tapering the ends of large blanks
so that they may be more readily centered in the bell mouthed die. This tool
is described under “Lathe Snipping Machines.” On large blanks it is also
considered good practice to corner the blank thus greatly reducing the labor
on the roughing knife.
The Defiance No. 0 machine is used for the same class of turnings as the
above machines but differs somewhat in design. The principle of operation
is however, the same. This machine has range for turnings %" to 3 " in diameter
by 8" long from blanks of a maximum length of 36" and is built on a cored
pedestal with elongated top which forms ways for the head and tail stock
and sliding tool carriage. Tool carriage and tail stock are operated on the ways
by rack and pinion and handwheel and the formed finishing knife is mounted
on a horizontal slide and operated by a hand lever. The cutting-off knife is
mounted on a vertical, hand lever operated slide. The method of operation
as regards mounting the blank, roughing knife, bell mouthed die, etc., is the
same as the preceding machines. The operation of the various tools does not,
however, appear to be as convenient. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P., may be fitted
wutli a three-step cone pulley and substituted for the overhead countershaft.

This type lathe is designed for producing automatically and in large
quantities the same class of turnings as the standard Waymoth lathe. The
lathe is fully automatic and the operator who attends two or more machines
has only to mount the blank which is 24" or more in length. The principle
involved is that of a sliding head stock, with tapered screw chuck, cam actuated
through a ratchet bar and approaching the forming and cutting-off tools which
are located at the tail stock m steps corresponding to the length of the turnings
being made. The forming and cutting-off tools are cam operated.
The Frary machine has range for turnings ys" to l%" diameter by 4"
long and capacity to produce up to 4000 pieces per hour. This lathe is built
on a box type bed of deep section and carries the drum shaft from which
head spindle is driven below the bed. All movements are cam actuated.
The Goodspeed machine has range for turnings \i" to 2" diameter by 4"
long and will bore to 3 y" deep. Blanks up to a maximum length of 30"
may be mounted. The output will vary from 500 to 4500 pieces per hour
according to size. This, machine is built on a heavy box type bed 72" long,
15" wide and 11" deep. The head stock is roller gibbed to the broad ways
of this bed and mounts the head spindle in self-oiling clamp type bearings.
The spindle is driven by a flanged pulley 4 "x4 " belted from a drum shaft which
may be located above or below the bed. The feed rack or ratchet bar is located
in the center of bed and is reversible permitting its use for two different feeds.
The stroke of the head stock is governed by a stop at the end of this rack
bar in connection with a sectional changeable cam. The roughing knife
holder is universally adjustable and is provided with micrometer in and out
adjustment. The forming knife holder is also fully adjustable and will carry
knives up to a maximum length of 4". The cutting-off device involves an 8"
smooth cutting circular saw which is fully adjustable and cam operated. A
knife cut-off can be furnished and used interchangeably with the saw. The
tail spindle is reversible and one end is fitted with a H" straight hole and
the other with a No. 2 Morse Taper hole. The cam which actuates the heid
stock is fitted with interchangeable segments giving motion from y" to 4"
long by quarter-inch steps. The forming knife holder and the cutting-off
saw are operated by cams. The machine is regularly fitted with cut change
gears to give feed ratios of 4:1 and 6:1 in addition to which a three-step cone
pulley on feed shaft provides three feed rates at either ratio. Feed is governed
by a lever operated binder pulley. The countershaft is fitted with a steel
drum 12"x36" and should make 1500 R. P. M., giving the head spindle 4500
R. P. M. Weight 1450 lbs.
Special lathes of this type as designed and built by Goodspeed are used
for turning small beads, collar buttons, etc., at feeds ranging up to 100 pieces
or more per minute. These tools involve hollow, ball bearing head spindles
through which the blank is fed by a square plunger.
Motor drive on the Goodspeed machines is accomplished in two ways
one of which involves an alternating motor of 3 to 5 H. P., suspended beneath
the bed at the center and coupled direct to a short countershaft extending
toward the head stock end of lathe and driving head stock and feed. In this
installation the head stock is stationary and a special carriage travels on the
ways and feeds the blank. This same type of lathe is also built for belt drive
and its use eliminates the heavy drum shaft commonly used. The second
type of motor installation as used on the No. 5 lathe contemplates mounting
a 3 H. P., 3600 R. P. M. motor directly on the aluminum head stock, the
rotor shaft being fitted as the head spindle of lathe. In the latter case an
independent motor of 1 H. P., drives the feed.No. 642, Continued
The Kline No. 52-1914 lathe has range for turnings K" to 3" diameter
by 3 Yi” long and an output of 2000 pieces per hour. It is built on a heavy bed
with longitudinal, gear driven cam shaft mounted below the ways. An auxiliary
cut-off saw for trimming out defects in the blanks is provided. Head spindle
is driven from an overhead drum 15" in diameter and is fed forward by a
cam and ratchet bar mechanism. Tail spindle is mounted on a cam actuated
slide and carr.es boring or turning tools. Forming tool is carried on a cam
actuated slide with horizontal and lateral motion. The cutting-off attachment
involves a small circular saw mounted on a cam actuated swing frame and
belted from the overhead countershaft. In operation the feed is started
and blank fed into die. The forming tool then advances and shapes the turning
and the tail stock feeds forward and bores or shapes the end and the cut-off
saw swings in and severs the finished work. This cycle of operations is
automatic and continuous until blank is consumed. Drum shaft is speeded
1200 R. P. M., giving spindle 3600 R. P. M., and may be driven by 5 to 7 J4
H. P. motor. A special attachment for automatically cutting grooves around
the circumference of the turnings may be fitted. This attachment involves
an automatic grooving saw. Floor space of this lathe, 39"xl02".
The Kline No. 52-1919 and No. 52-1916 are of the same general design
as the above tool but are intended for larger work which may range up to
4 " diameter by 6" long.
The Kline No. 52-1915 lathe has range for turnings up to 3" diameter
by 6" long and while it is of the same general design as the other Kline lathes
some special features are involved among which is a special boring spindle,
which operates inside the tail spindle and is mounted in ball bearings. This
spindle is belt driven from the countershaft and rotates in the opposite direction
from the head spindle at 4000 to 5000 R. P. M. As the blank is revolved by the
he°d spindle at 3000 to 3600 R. P. M., the included speed of the boring spindle
is 7000 to 8500 R. P. M. This lathe is also fitted with a snipping chuck which
is mounted on the end of the saw arbor employed in trimming out defects
and is fitted with a square hole rest. Floor space, 42"xl08".
The Lane lathe of this type is built on a heavy box type bed and embodies
the usual cam operated head stock, tail spindle, forming and cutting-off tool
slides. Head spindle is mounted in engine lathe type bearings. Drum shaft
with built-up wood drum is located below the bed and is carried in ring oiling
bearings. Output 1000 to 3000 pieces per hour. Change gears provide for
eight feed rates. Motor of 5 to 7 'A H. P., may be belted or coupled to the
drum shaft. Floor space, 24 "x88". Weight 1000 lbs.
The Smith No. B-42 lathe while operating on the same general principles
as the lathes just described, differs very materially in details of construction.
The head stock of this lathe is stationary and carries in Skayef ball bearings
the sleeve upon which the driving pulley is mounted. Sliding through and
driven by this splined sleeve is a spindle which carries a tapered screw chuck
of the usual type. At the end of this sliding spindle just behind the chuck,
is located a ball bearing which is mounted on a sliding carriage actuated in
the usual way by a cam operated ratchet bar.
Another innovation in this lathe is the die through which the blank passes
when rounded by the roughing knife. This die is mounted in a ball bearing
and revolves with the blank in place of the blank revolving within the die as
is usual. This construction eliminates all revolving friction and enables the
blank to be cut to a very close fit in the die where it has only longitudinal
motion. The cam shaft on this lathe is driven from an auxiliary floor counter-
shaft which is driven from the main countershaft by a three-step cone pulley
and drives the cam shaft by means of a four-step cone. This layout gives twelve
feed changes ranging from 15 to 70 strokes per minute in steps of five. The
forming knife holder is universally adjustable and takes tools to 7" wide.
The main countershaft is mounted overhead and may be driven by a 5 H. P.,
direct coupled or belted motor at 650 R. P. M.No. 643.

This tool is used for pointing the ends of blanks to be turned in Waymoth
or circular knife lathes. The pointing operation insures that the blank is
centered in both the head spindle screw chuck and in the carriage die. This
machine comprises a cored pedestal of round section which carries the
horizontal arbor fitted with a taper chuck having range to point squares from
1" to 3" without adjustment. A suitable adjustable rest is located in front
of the chuck. This machine may be driven by belt from overhead countershaft
or the arbor and yoke may be replaced by a 3600 R. P. M. motor which carries
the chuck on its rotor shaft.

Lathes, Circular Knife Type.
Builders
Pringle & Brodie Machine Co.
A. D. Waymoth Co.
This type lathe is built either as an attachment for the standard Waymoth
lathe or as an independent machine. In the latter case the carriage which
mounts the die and circular knife is sometimes fitted with power feed involving
a lead screw with split nut operated by hand lever. The same head stock
with taper screw chuck and a carriage fitted with die and roughing knife are
used as are employed in the Waymoth type machine. The swing front tool
and the cutting-off attachment are however, absent from a lathe built solely
for circular knife work. This lathe is used for turning light slender spindles
of all kinds and due to the fact that no tail stock is used and no end pressure
exerted on the turning and also by reason of the close relation of the circular
knife cut to the supporting die, very slender and difficult turnings are readily
produced. The range is for turnings Y%" to 1 in diameter and up to 20"
maximum length unless the pattern is such that the cutter may repeat in
which case the maximum length turning is 36". The length of turning is of
course, limited by the permissible diameter of the circular knife. The circular
knife resembles an ordinary milled back knife which has been rolled up and
welded to form a complete circle with the milled pattern on the outside
circumference. This circular knife is mounted on a vertical spindle with
the cutting edge down. The spindle is journaled in a frame attached to
the rear of the die carriage and is fitted at the top end with a spur
gear which meshes a steel rack adjustably mounted above the carriage parallel
with the ways. The carriage die is so cut away that the cut of the circular
knife is very close to the supporting point. The blank is mounted in the
same manner as on a standard Waymoth lathe and may be of a length to make
one or more turnings. Where the turning is not too long the circular knife
is usually made with two, three or more complete patterns milled into its
circumference. The rolling action of the circular knife renders it impossible
to cut perfectly square shoulders or other members and the smaller the diameter
the greater the angularity required in the members of the pattern. Cut-off
spurs are milled in the knife at the end of each pattern and serve to nearly
sever the finished turning from the blank so that it may be readily broken off
as fast as made. On lathes built with hand feeding carriage and tail stock tools
may be mounted in the spindle of the tail stock for sizing square shoulder
tenons. Gauge lathe attachments may be fitted for use on long plain turnings
without the circular knife. The capacity of this type lathe will approximate300 lineal feet of turnings per hour. This type lathe is especially adapted
to slender work having a great deal of fine detail, which class of work is produced
with great smoothness and accuracy. Tenons with beveled shoulders may be
very accurately sized on one or both ends of the turnings. Motor of 3 to 5
H. P. may be belted direct to the head spindle which makes 2500 to 3500
R. P. M. Weights 900 lbs. to 1200 lbs.

Lathes, Gang Cutter Head Type for Spokes.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
This type lathe embodies essentially a series of cutter heads mounted on a
high-speed horizontal arbor between bearings and so located that the cut
of each head overlaps that of its neighbor. These cutter heads are fitted with
flat knives of various shapes and are grouped in sufficient number to cover
the entire length of the blank to be turned which is mounted on centers parallel
with and at the level of the cutter head arbor. These centers are mounted
on a table or carriage which is moved laterally to the cutter heads by the
action of a hand lever and the head center is gear or belt driven at a slow speed
the drive being inter-connected with the table moving mechanism in such
manner that the center begins to rotate as it approaches the cutters and stops
at it is withdrawn. The motion of the centers in relation to the cutter heads
is governed by a cam which is mounted on and revolves with the live center,
making contact with a roll or stop on the frame of machine. This method
of controlling the blank in relation to the cutters makes possible the turning
of any required round, oval or polygonal section, the cam reproducing its
shape in the turning. On some types of this lathe the centers are mounted
on a sub-table which oscillates on the main table and is controlled by a cam
at each end making it possible to cut a turning of one shape at one end and
a different shape at the other end the two shapes blending at some point
between the ends. Some types of lathe also employ a cam controlled swing
head which is pivoted above the main arbor and is brought into action to
finish some sections of the turning, as the eye on hammer handles. This
general de:cr'ption applies to the entire line of gang cutter head lathes lis ed
in the following paragraphs.
The Defiance Automatic Spoke Lathe is built in six sizes ranging from
32" to 58" and is adapted to the turning of all sorts of vehicle wheel spokes. This
machinéis fitted with an auxiliary swinging cutter head and a double table on the
upper section of which the centers are mounted. This upper section of the
table is pivoted on a vertical stud set in the lower table near the tail center
and fitting in any one of a series of holes spaced in a longitudinal line in the
upper table. On the head or live spindle is located a cast iron cam which
contacts with a shoe extending upward from the lower table and is held in
contact therewith by a coiled spring. When the table is moved toward the
cutter heads by the hand lever the automatic feed slowly rotates the blank
and the cam on the live spindle revolving against the shoe on the lower table
oscillates the upper table, and centers on the lower one, in a path which is
governed by the shape of the cam. When the pivoting point of the upper table
on the lower one is directly under the tail center, the spoke will be turned
round at that end with a gradual change in shape toward the head end at which
point the shape will be that of the cam. To turn work to the same shape
at both ends the tables are locked together and the cam revolved against
a shoe located on the frame of machine thus producing work the shape of
the cam from end to end.
The auxiliary cutter head arbor is mounted horizontally in a yoke
pivoted on a steel bar extending horizontally across and above the machine,parallel with the cutter head arbor and is belt driven from pulleys mounted
on the pivoting shaft. The auxiliary cutter head is fitted with knives to cover
a space nine inches long and is governed in its motions by the table to which
it is connected and by a cam mounted upon the head spindle. Motion of the
table toward the cutters brings down the auxiliary head from above and
when it has reached the cutting position a shoe on the yoke contacts with the
live center cam and governs the cut. Reverse motion of the table causes
the auxiliary head to raise out of the way. The cam which governs the cut
of this head may be of any shape from square to round and governs the cut
to a corresponding shape. Both the main and the auxiliary heads are covered
by competent shields. Motor of 5 to 7 ^ H. P. may be belted direct to
countershaft. The net weight of the 32" machine is 2450 lbs. and the floor
space required 36" x 60\*
The Defiance 24" Spoke Lathe is used for turning automobile spokes
complete at one operation. This machine receives the rough blank, either
sawed or split and turns the barrel, squares the head and throats the spoke
at the rate of about 250 spokes per hour. Range is for spokes up to 5" diameter
by 24" long. This machine is of the standard gang cutter head type involving
a gang of three knife cutter heads, gear driven live center and an auxiliary
swing head, and is built on a frame composed of heavy end members which
carry the self-oiling bearings for the main arbor and rise at the rear to carry
the horizontal shaft on which the auxiliary cutter head housing is pivoted. The
end members also extend in front of the cutter heads to form horizontal,
transverse, slides for the table which carries the centers. Frames are connected
by a heavy cored girt. Motor of 5 to 7 ki H. P. may be belted or coupled to
the 600, R. P. M. countershaft. Fleer space 36"x48". Net weight 2400 lbs.
The Fay-Egan No. 422 Spoke Lathe is of the gang cutter head type
and is designed for turning automobile spokes up to a maximum size of 4"
diameter by 16" long. This machine is built in two types, one of which turns
the barrel and throat only and the other being fitted with auxiliary cutter
head to square the head of spoke on four sides. This tool is built on a heavy
cast frame and embodies jointing and setting devices for the knives, gears
cut from the solid, steel pinions and self-centering attachment for mounting
the blank. The countershaft is carried in base and is fitted with automatic
belt take-ups. Motor of 10 H. P. may be belted to countershaft. Floor space

Lathes, Gang Cutter Head Type for Furniture Turnings.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
Mattison Machine Works.
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
The Defiance 32" Lathe of this type is designed for turning table legs,
pillars, balusters, etc., of any shape from round to square and is also well
adapted to the production of ball bats, croquet mallets, piano stool posts,
indian clubs, dumbbells, ten pins, etc. This machine is of the same general
type as the other Defiance Gang Cutter Head Lathes and has an output
ranging from 100 to 300 pieces per hour. Motor of 5 to 7 M H. P. may be
belted to countershaft. Floor space 37 "x68". Net weight 2200 lbs.
The Mattison Model “B” Automatic Shaping Lathe is a gang cutter
head type of tool designed especially for the production of furniture parts
such as table legs, pedestals, piano pillars, piano stool legs, furniture posts,
standards, legs, bed posts and reaches, chair and couch legs, casket corners
and handles and similar work which may be round, square or of any polygonal
shape. Another class of turnings including ten pins, ball bats, indian clubs,
neck yokes, lawn mower handles, etc., is also produced to good advantage.
The design of this lathe involves a heavy rectangular, cored box type
base which carries the crucible steel cutter head arbor in three competent
bearings of self-oiling babbitted type. The right end bearing is removable
for changing cutter heads and the left one is mounted on a heavy arm outside
the driving pulley.
The carriage upon which the centers are mounted oscillates on a large
shaft and is operated by a counter-balanced, toggle link, hand lever mechanism
giving a very sensitive yet powerful carriage motion. The centers are mounted
on a sub-base which is adjustably fitted to the main carriage so that the centers
may be set out of line with the cutter head arbor yet remain in line with, each
other. The live center is rotated by a vertical, reversible, bevel gear driven,
double universal jointed shaft. Rotation of the center starts and stops auto-
matically as the carriage is fed to or away from the cutter heads and is also
under control of a pedal so that the rotation may be stopped, reversed or started
at any point in the carriage travel. On some classes of work the b’ank is
revolved against the cut, on other kinds of work with the cut and on some kinds
of square work the rotation is with the cutters while cutting the corners and
is reversed for the balance of the cut. These changes are readily made through
the pedal control.
The cutter heads are of various types as indicated by the work the regular
furniture type of cutter having a heavy shear cut from the top to the bottom
of all raised beads and other members of the pattern. Ball bats and similar
turnings require a radically different type of cutter head. The entire gang
of cutter heads is covered by a cast iron hood which drops down and completely
covers the heads when the carriage is back for mounting the blanks and opens
automatically as the stock is advanced to the cut.
This lathe is regularly fitted with spur and cup centers which in connection
with the automatic self-centering device are adapted to turning all medium
sized stock. For use on large hollow pedestals special face plates with adjustable
gripping dogs are fitted and for long slender turnings where end pressure
must be minimized hollow chucks which grip the outer surface of blank are
used. For large production of small turnings a hopper feed may be applied,
and for certain classes of chair and similar work a continuous feed mechanism
involving multiple centers from which the finished turning is removed and a
new blank mounted while the lathe is at work on the blank held in the third
pair of centers is employed. Competent work supports or center supports
are part of the standard equipment. The lathe is built in three lengths, 32",
42" and 48" between centers all of which swing 18". Output will range from
10 tc 400 pieces per hour.Addition to Par. No. 651

THE MATTISON NO. 57-D LATHE
The Mattison No. 57-D Lathe illustrated on the reverse of this sheet
is a refinement and development of the Type B machine described on the
opposite page. This new machine has been redesigned from the ground
up and while it is by no means a radical departure from the older design
many important refinements have been made.
The main base is heavier and more rigid and has better provision for
removal of shavings and for the mounting of the various attachments.
The main bearings are longer and heavier and are fitted with sight
feed oilers.
The five step cone pulley employed to provide feed changes has been
replaced by a sliding gear transmission, running in oil and driven by belt
and a lever controlled binder.
The speed of feed shaft and bevel gears connected to upright shaft
has been cut in two for smoother operation.
The head stock gears are permanently adjusted when the lathe is built
and never require change or adjustment.
The carriage is heavier, better balanced and operates with greater ease.
The hollow chuck has been improved and simplified, may be operated
faster and removed and replaced by one man. It is so mounted on an exten-
sion plate as to permit its use in combination with the regular tail stock
when required. An automatic centering device is provided for use when
the head center is used in combination with the hollow chuck.
The shaving hood has been improved and is fitted with an adjustable
damper for the purpose of confining the suction to the length of cut.
The general operation and construction of this machine is described
on opposite page.

The machine may be belted from countershaft or may be driven by
motor of 10 to 15 H. P. mounted on attached base and connected to arbor
by a silent chain drive. Floor space not including countershaft, 42"
wide by 80" to 100" long. Weights, 3900 lbs., to 4300 lbs.
The Yates No. 74 machine of this type is built on a cored, one-piece base
which extends under the entire machine and obviates any overhanging bearings
or other parts. The arbor, 2 R" diameter, is mounted in three side clamping
bearings with tail bearing of the removable type and drive pulley between
the other two bearings. The table, which carries the head and tail centers
on a sub-table with angular adjustment, comprises a heavy casting, the lower
part of which is swung between two links suspended from the main frame.
The operating lever is connected to table by suitable linkage and swings
table toward the cutters through an arc, the stock at all times being parallel
with the arbor. Counter-weight is fitted to increase ease of table operation.
The table carrying links are mounted at one end in ball bearings and at the
other in bronze and special provision is made to prevent interference with
table operation by packed shavings. Depth of cut is governed by two,
simultaneously operated stops, one at each end of table. Head spindle is
mounted in ball bearings and is rotated, as the stock approaches the cut, by
a belt driven worm and gear mechanism. The feed mechanism is driven
from the countershaft by belt on a four-step cone pulley and incorporates
also a pedal controlled forward and reversing belt. Tail spindle is operat-
ed by hand lever through a rack and pinion. A self-centering device
involving swing arms mounted at the front of frame serves to mount the
blank accurately on the centers and embodies as well a device which squares
up the blank and presents it in proper relation to the cam or die which governs
the shape of cut. An automatic, spring tensioned, fully adjustable steady
rest is mounted on the table. Several special attachments are applicable
to this machine, among them being special long stock chucks which permit
stock of any practicable length being mounted and turned first on one end
then on the other. In this attachment both chucks are gear driven and the
surplus length of blank projects through tail chuck. Piano stool seat and French
chair leg attachments may also be fitted, the latter of the automatic type.
For large built-up stock such as pedestals special chucks which grip the bore
of the blank are employed. The cutter heads, of a design in which individual
knives may be removed without disturbing the set-up, are completely covered
by a removable, rise and fall hood with exhaust connection and damper which
may be adjusted to provide maximum suction under all conditions. Range
is to turn stock up to 42" long by 15 24" diameter or 11 K" square. The
centers turn 1.1, 2.6, 4.8, or 8.6 R. P. M. Motor of 7 ^ to 15 H. P. may be
connected to the 700 R. P. M. countershaft. Floor space 70"xl02".No. 652.
Lathes, Copying Type for Axe, Hammer and Other Handles.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
Klotz Machine Co.
Ober Mfg. Co.
Trevor Mfg. Co.
The Copying Type Lathe is used for turning all kinds of irregularly
shaped articles such as shoe lasts, golf stick heads, spokes, axe and similar
handles, hat blocks, gun stocks, furniture legs, hames, saddle side bars and
an immense variety of other difficult turnings including airplane propellors.
This lathe is built in two types with, of course, numerous variations of each
type.
One type involves a traveling carriage upon which is mounted a high
speed, be’t driven cutter head the position of which in relation to the blank
is governed by a tracing wheel, of the same contour and size as the cutter
head, which traver'es a pattern or model which is a duplicate of the article
to be produced. This tracing wheel may operate to govern the position of
the cutter head or it may be so fitted as to regulate the position of a swing
frame in which the pattern and the blank are mounted on gear driven centers.
The pattern and blank are mounted, side by side or end to end, upon slowly
rotating gear driven centers and the cutter head is traversed longitudinally
past the blank while the tracing wheel is traversing the pattern. The cutter
head being governed in its position as regards the blank by a tracing wheel
of equal size and of the same contour produces a turning of the exact shape
but not necessarily of the same size as the pattern. Some lathes like those
used for turning lasts are fitted to produce right and left hand turnings from
the same pattern.
In the other type of copying lathe the process is in a way reversed as
the cutter head is mounted in a fixed location and the blank mounted on
slowly rotating centers and traversed past the cutter head. The pattern
in this case traverses a tracing wheel or shoe mounted in a fixed location.
The action of the tracing wheel or shoe oscillates the frame in which the centers
are mounted in relation to the cutter head which remains in one location.
The cutter head may be of the knife type or it may be composed of saws,
the latter type being used for axe handles and similar stock. The action of
the saw cutters leaves a finely serrated surface which is very true and accurate, is
free from tearing out and is readily sanded to a smooth surface. Lathes used
for axe handles usually mount the blank and pattern end to end in a light
vibrating frame. This general description applies to the lathes listed in
the six following paragraphs.
The Klotz lathe for axe handles and similar work has range for stock up
to 42" long and capacity to produce 45 to 60 axe handles per hour. This
machine embodies an oscillating, tilting carriage with two pairs of centers
upon which the blank and pattern are mounted end to end in the same axial
plane. This carriage is traversed past the cutting member which is a heavy-
gauge circular saw 12" in diameter and the position of the carriage and
blank as regards the saw is governed by a tracing wheel or rest which is
mounted on the frame of machine and traversed by the pattern, lifting up or
depressing the carriage in accordance with the contour of the pattern. The
chain driven live center is located in the center of the carriage and drives
the blank from one end and the pattern from the other. Drive is from an
overhead countershaft to which a motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted. Net
weight 1500 lbs.
The Trevor lathe is of the same type as the above described Klotz machine
and has range for stock to 42" long of a maximum diameter of 5". Cutting
member involves a gang of three saws. The countershaft is mounted on frame
of machine and may be driven direct by motor to 3 to 5 H. P. Floor space
42"x96". Weight 1400 lbs.The Ober No. 1 lathe is adapted to the production of axe handles and
other irregular work 8" to 43" long and up to 6" swing. Output per hour is
30 to 60 axe handles, 40 to 60 pick handles and 100 to 125 hammer handles.
This machine is built upon a lathe type bed and its design involves two pairs
of fixed location, chain driven centers upon which the blank and pattern
are mounted side by side. The cutter head carriage is traversed past the
blank by the action of a feed screw and split nut, the position of the cutter
head in relation to the turning being governed by a tracing finger. Feed
is driven by adjustable frictions and may be changed while in motion. The
countershaft may be driven by motor of 3 to 5 H. P. Floor space 36"x74".
Weight 1350 lbs.
The Ober No. 11 lathe is used for the same class of work as the Ober No.
1 machine and has range for stock 8" to 36" long by 5" swing. This lathe
is, however, of the type in which the cutter head is mounted in a fixed position
and the carriage upon which blank and pattern are mounted is traversed
past it by the action of a screw feed. Pattern and blank are mounted side by
side and the position of carriage is governed by a tracing finger mounted on
machine frame. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to countershaft. Floor
space 48"xl08". Weight 1350 lbs.
The Defiance No. 0 lathe is used for turning axe handles and other irregular
shapes and has range for stock to 42" long by 6" diameter. This machine is
built on a cored pedestal the top of which is extended to form horizontal ways
for the head and tail stocks and cutter head carriage. The cutter head arbor
housing operates in transverse ways on the carriage and its lateral position is
governed by a tracing wheel of the same size and contour as the cutter head
which is fitted with cutters to feed either way and is driven by belt from the
overhead countershaft. Blank and pattern are mounted on gear driven
centers located in the same horizontal plane. The turning may be larger
or smaller than the pattern and a device may be fitted for producing right or
left hand turnings from one pattern. Feed rate is adjustable by sixteenths
from 1/i" to y%" per revolution of blank. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P. may be belted
to the countershaft. Floor space 34 "x86 ". Net weight 2100 lbs.

Lathes, Copying Type, Double Head for General Irregular Work.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 303 lathe is used for turning all kinds of irregularly
shaped work such as hames, saddle side bars, golf stick heads, etc., and has
range for work from the smallest up to 7" diameter by 38" long. One model
is used to govern both cutter heads and duplicate pieces or one right
and one left hand piece are produced at one operation. This machine is built
on a heavy cored base with elongated top on which are horizontal ways for
the cutter head carriage. At each end of the ways are housings rising vertically
from the bed. In the left hand housing are mounted three live centers all in
the same horizontal plane and rotated slowly by cut gearing and in the right
hand housing are three tail centers, opposed to and individually adjustable
toward the live centers. The entire right hand housing adjusts horizontally
on the ways.
The cutter head carriage is traversed between the centers by a cut gear
driven feed screw, and is fitted with two cutter head yokes and one tracing
wheel yoke which are mounted in transverse ways, at right angles to the bed
ways, and are linked together so that any motion of the tracing wheel yoke
is imparted in like degree to the two cutter head yokes. The tracing wheel
is of the same size and contour as the cutter heads and is so fitted as to follow
closely the contour of the rotating model which is mounted on one pair of the
centers with a blank on each of the other two pair. The two cutter heads
and the tracing wheel, moving in unison under the control of the model, are
traversed along the length of the blank to be turned and the result is an evact
duplicate of the shape of the model on each of the two pairs of centers. The
feed mechanism is driven by reversible frictions and feeds either way at rates
ranging from %" to %" per revolution of the blank. Adjustable end stops
limit the motion off carriage. Cutter heads are fitted with 12 knives and cut
smoothly in either direction. Tail centers are adjustable to make one end of
the turning larger or smaller than the model. A centering device is part
of the equipment, and centers the blanks accurately, so that smaller blanks
can be used fcr the same turnings. Motor of 7 ^ to 10 H. P. may be belted
to the countershaft. Floor space 72 "x90". Net weight 2560 lbs.No. 657.

Other special Goodspeed lathes of this type are used for the production of
jack spools, fibre spools, carpet spool bodies and carpet spool heads.
The KMne No. 84 Solid Spool Roughing Lathe involves a horizontal
arbor fitted with a chuck for reducing the square blank to cylindrical form
and at the same time boring the hole through the center. At the side of this
arbor is located a second arbor which is fitted with a small cut-off saw. In
operation the blank of random length is fed into the chuck to a stop and
withdrawn, a length sufficient to make a spool having been rounded and bored.
This section is then cut off on the small saw and the operation repeated until
the blank is too short to handle. The blanks thus roughed out are finished
on a machine similar to that next described. The Goodspeed Co., also build
a machine of the same type as the Kline No. 84.
The Kline No. 85 Hand Finishing Lathe is used for finishing the blanks
roughed out by the process just described. This machine is built for bench
mounting or may be furnished on an iron pedestal making a comp’ete self-
contained machine. The machine comprises a lathe type bed with a belt
driven head spindle and a pedal operated tail spindle and tool carriage mounted
on the ways between them. Fixed typo knives are mounted in transverse
slides on the carriage and are operated by hand levers. In operation the blanks
are mounted on the centers by the holes, without stopping the spindle, and the
completed spools drop through the bed of the machine. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P.
may be belted direct to the head spindle. The capacity of this and the
preceding machine is very largely dependent on the dexterity of the operator.
The Goodspeed Co., also build this type tool.
The Goodspeed Bobbin Lathe is used for faucets, handles and other
work of like class as well as bobbins. It is built on a standard type lathe
bed with belt driven head spindle and lever operated tail spindle and tool
carriage fitted with two fixed, lever operated knives. The sliding knife in
front roughs down the blank to a cylinder and the finishing cut is made by theformed knife at the rear of carriage. Knives are operated by independent
levers. Head spindle may be driven at 5000 R. P. M. by a direct belted motor
of 3 to 5 H. P. Floor space 42"x66". Weight 635 lbs.
The Kline No. 68 machine is an automatic tool designed especially for
roughing out heads and bodies for large spools but it is well adapted to other
work of a similar nature. The range is such that bolts or other round stock of
a maximum diameter of 6" may be turned and at the same operation bored
through the center. This machine is built on a lathe type bed upon which
are mounted two horizontal, opposed, belt driven, cam actuated, spindles.
A cut-off saw with slide table and hopper feed magazine and a swing frame
which carries a fixed type, milled, forming knife are fitted at opposite sides of
the bed. The opposed spindles which carry the centers upon which the blank
is mounted are both driven and are hollow and fitted with concentric, non-
revolving boring spindles which are fed forward by cams and perform the
boring at the same time the blank is being shaped by the forming knife. In
operation the stock is cut into blanks of the required length on the cut-off
saw which blanks automatically fall into the magazine whence they are
drawn by the automatic feeding mechanism and bored, turned and discharged
automatically. Motor of 10 H. P. may be belted to the countershaft.

The Kline No. 90-1919 lathe is designed for turning handles for bicycle
pumps and other work of that class which does not require axial boring. This
machine is built on a lathe type bed and is fitted at operator’s station, in the
center, with a small cut-off saw served by a sliding table. Blanks of random
lengths are cut to exact length on this saw and pass by gravity to the magazine.
From the base of the magazine they are automatically fed to the centers
carried on horizontal, opposed, cam actuated, belt driven spindles. As the
blank revolves on the centers, both driven, a gouge knife travels over the top
of the blank on a horizontal slide and reduces same to a cylinder slightly
larger than the finished turning. The milled forming knife which is mounted
on a cam actuated sliding carriage then advances and shapes the turning.
This forming knife makes its cut on the bottom of blank so that the shavings
are thrown downward and the finished turning remains on top of the knife.
The various motions of this lathe are cam operated and the entire complement
of cams is mounted on one gear driven horizontal shaft located longitudinally
in the bed. The capacity is 10 to 25 pieces per minute. Drive is from an
overhead countershaft to which a motor of 5 to 7 Yt H. P. may be belted.
Stock produced on this lathe is finished on the tool described in the following
paragraph.No. 661.

The Kline No. 88-1916 and No. 88-1919 machines are used for cutting
off, turning and boring small handles and other similar stock up to a maximum
size of IW diameter by 5" long. These machines are very similar and the
following description applies to either. The machine is built on a lathe type
bed which carries the cut-off saw arbor with sliding table and magazine on a
bracket bolted to one side of the bed in the center. On the bed are mounted
two pairs of horizontal, opposed, belt driven, cam actuated spindles. The
blanks being fed from the base of the magazine, into which they fall by gravity
from the cut-off saw, by a pusher feed are first bored axially by the bits carried
in the first pair of opposed spindles. These bits enter from each end and maybe fitted to bore completely through the blank without colliding in the center.
From the boring station the blank is taken by an automatic, disc type carrier
and mounted on the opposed centers carried on the second pair of spindles.
The blank mounted on this pair of centers, both of which are driven, by the
holes, is shaped by a milled forming knife mounted in a cam actuated swing
frame. An automatic knock-out discharges the finished turning from the
centers. The various operations except the cutting off are performed auto-
matically and continuously, one blank being bored while another is being
formed. Motor of 5 to 7 'A H. P. may be belted to the overhead countershaft.

This type machine is of the roll feed, automatic class and is used for turning
broom, fork, rake, hoe or other handles embodying swell and taper parts.
It is also used in the production of curtain poles, pike and flag poles, fishing
rods, billiard cues, Vienna bent chair stock and many other similar articles.
The machines built by the above makers all operate on the same general
principle which involves a roughing head with knives in a fixed position,
through which the stock passes and is reduced to a cylinder slightly larger
in diameter than the largest part of the finished turning, and a finishing head
with cam actuated knives which cuts the swells and tapers*
A typical machine of this class will take stock from M" to Ifi" in diameter
and from 30" to 60'0" long and has capacity to prcduce about 800 broom
handles in either hard or soft w cod per hour. This machine is built on a cored,
box type bed mounted on cast legs and fitted with the cutter head arbor
housing, the hopper and the feeding mechanism. The feed, works comprise
ten rolls, four at each end. of the cutter head arbor, and two at the end of the
hopper feed rack. The two cutter heads are mounted on one hollow arbor and
are driven by belt, at high speed. The first or roughing head is similar to an
ordinary dowel machine Lead and is employed to round the blank to the
smallest diameter which, wall make the turning. Passing this, head the round
blank encounters the finishing head on the same arbor. This head is fitted
with cam actuated expanding and contracting knives which will produce
straight, tapered or swelled w ork or any combination of the three on the one
blank. The blanks are withdrawn from the hopper by a lugged chain and the
cam motion which governs the position of the knives in the finishing head is
driven by cut gearing which is synchronized with the lugs on this chain. The
gears and cams are numbered and a chart is furnished to facilitate setting up.
The machine is fully automatic and the operator has only to keep the hopper
filled with blanks. The operator of this machine frequently feeds at the
same time an automatic chucking and boring machine for broom handles.

This type lathe is adapted to the production of somewhat the same class
of turnings as the “Chaplin” lathe described in the preceding paragraph.
It is, however, not wTell adapted to the very slender work produced by that
machine but has the advantage of producing turnings with more sharply
defined outline than the “Chaplin.” Hand operated swing tool holders may
also be fitted and used with milled forming knives for producing short sections
of beads, grooves or other sharp detail.
A typical tool of this type embodies a bed mounted on cast legs and
fitted with head and tail stocks, tool carriage and feed screw with split nut.
The head stock spindle carries a spur center and is driven from an overhead
countershaft by a two-step cone pulley. This spindle is of necessity fitted
with very competent thrust bearings and carries a small pulley from which
the feed screw is driven through the medium of a sub-countershaft.
The tail stock is adjustable to any point on the ways and carries a spindle
of the live type which revolves with the blank. This spindle is like the head
spindle mounted in very competent radial and thrust bearings and is operated
by handwheel or lever. In the case of long lathes the tail stock operating
lever is often mounted near the center of the bed.
A centering device is fitted which may be one of several types. One type
which is in general use comprises a bell mouthed die with tapered hole, the
smallest diameter of which is of a size to pass over the head spindle. The
end of the blank is presented to the spur center in this tapered hole, the die
being mounted in slides so as to slide back over the head spindle which extends
some distance from the bearing. Another type of centering device comprises
two arms which are pivoted at the rear of the bed and fitted to receive the
blank on their top ends. These arms are adjusted to a point some distance from
each end of the blank, and the blank is laid on them. The arms are then
pulled forward to a stop which locates the blank correctly on the centers.
This latter device has the advantage that the centering is done at two points
some distance from the ends of blank so that any crook in the blank may be
to some extend equalized.
The tool carriage travels on the ways between the head and tail stocks,
the spindle of the latter being smaller in diameter than the hole in carriage
die, so that the die may pass over the spindle and leave the center protruding
for mounting the blank. The carriage is fitted with power feed involving a feed
screw located on the front or in the center of the bed and driven in one direction
by belt from the head spindle. A lever operated split nut on the carriage
engages the screw, and is automatically tripped at the end of travel and the
carriage returned by cable and weight. In some makes of lathe no feed screw
is fitted but the pull of the roughing chisel is depended on to feed the carriage,
assisted by a slightly threaded portion of the roughing die. Carriage is fitted
with a bell mouthed die with a hole slightly larger in diameter than the
finished size of the turning. At the mouth of this die is a roughing chisel
which reduces the blank to a cylinder just fitting the hole in die. At the
rear of the die, toward the tail center is a “V” shaped chisel mounted in a
pivoted holder, the vertical position of which, is governed by a steel template
mounted on the bed under the carriage and engaged by a shoe carried on
the chisel holder. In some makes of lathe a second finishing tool is carried
in an independent holder and governed by an independent template. The
templates are of steel %" to,*%" thick and are readily ground to shape on an
emery wheel. The floor space required for this type lathe is approximately
30" to 36" wide by 30" to 40" longer than the maximum length between
centers. Motor of 5 to 10 H. P. may be mounted overhead, fitted with cone
pulley and belted direct to head spindle.No. 666.

This lathe is a development of the gauge lathe described in the preceding
paragraph and its design involves the same tool carriage, head and tail stock1-,
etc., as are employed in that machine. This type lathe is'used for producing
chair and other turnings which embody sharp, well defined detail and is capable
of producing very smooth accurate work in large quantities.
In addition to the essential features of the gauge lathe this tool is provided
with a back knife which is milled, at an angle, to the contour of the required
turning. This knife is mounted, edge down, on a vertically sliding gate or
frame which is linked to the tool carriage in such manner that the gate and
back knife feed downward as the carnage advances toward the head stock.
The connection between carriage and gate usually involves a rigid leg extending
downward from the carriage and fitted to slide on the angular bottom member
of the gate. The gate is mounted in vertical, gibbed ways and carries at each
end a vertical rack which meshes a pinion keyed to each end of a horizontal
shaft. The shaft is fitted at each end with a sheave with cable and weight.
This device insures parallel, counter-weighted, operation; of the gate. The
back knife and gate are set at a considerable angle from the horizontal line of
the bed so that the knife has a heavy shear cut and is enabled to pass very
closely over the top of the carriage die and cut very close to the die. The edge of
the knife is maintained at a fixed distance from the top of die by the carriage
connection to the gate. .
The more advanced designs embody a head stock fitted with horizontal
motion in gibbed ways towards the tail stock. This motion is actuated by
a handwheel or lever mounted on the stationary tail stock and connected
by suitable linkage with the head stock. The advantage of the movable
head stock which advances to mount the blank, lays in the fact that in this
case a cutting-off tool may be mounted in the back knife ¡gate and employed
to trim the turnings to an exact length. This is possible by reason of the tail
center occupying a fixed location in relation to the gate on which the cutting-off
tool is mounted. The tail center may usually be of a diameter less than that
of the tip end of the turning which obviates the necessity! of trimming a waste
end from tail end of turning, and enables the lathe with movable head stock
to produce turnings of a finished length. To provide driving power the
spur center in head spindle is made as large as possible, its size being limited
by the carriage die which must pass over it. Like the gauge lathe this machine
is fitted with extra competent radial and thrust bearings for both head and
tail spindles.	;
Unlike the gauge lathe which in some cases is built1 without the power
feed for carriage, the back knife lathe is invariably fitted with a power driven,
lead screw driven from the head stock spindle through a small countershaft
mounted below head stock and fitted with a three-step cone pulley belted
to a similar cone on the end of screw. Feed nut of the split, babbitted type,
is operated by a hand lever and fitted with automatic trip at end of travel.
The carriage is returned to starting position by a counter-weight assisted by
the counter-weighted back knife gate.
Due to the fact that the carriage tools comprising the roughing chisel
which rounds the blank to fit the die, and the "V” chisel working, usually,
in conjunction with a “U” shaped chisel both mounted in independent holders
and controlled by independent templates, shape the blank to a very closeNo. 6S6, Continued
approximation of the finished turning, the back knife has very little stock to
remove and does very smooth, true work.
The shear of the back knife being from the tail to the head center, members
of the turning which are located with the small end of the member toward
the head stock are sheared from the large part down to the small portion, giving
a “down hill” cut with the grain which produces very smooth work. When
the position of the detail is reversed and the cut is “up hill” the cut is not
apt to be as smooth. To remedy this condition auxiliary back knives are
sometimes mounted above the regular back knife and set at the opposite
angle so as to shear in the opposite direction. The cut of the auxiliary knife
is of necessity some distance from the carriage die and unless the stock is
large it is apt to spring under the cut no matter how light it is. On designs
involving sharp detail at some points and easy swells or tapers at others the
back knives are sometimes made of a length to cut only the sharp detail leaving
the plain portions to be cut and finished by the carriage chisels. Squares
may be left at any point on the turning by the use of a special type die fitted
to revolve in brass bushings on the carriage. The blanks are dressed four
sides to fit this die which is fitted with springs bearing on the blank and the
roughing chisel is not used, the entire work of rounding and shaping the square
blank being thrown on the “V” tools. This process is not wholly satisfactory
and where much square membered work is present the gang cutter head
type lathe is indicated. This type lathe is usually built with a single head
stock pulley approximating 6"x6" in size and may be driven by belt from an
overhead motor of 7 ^ to 10 H. P., which should give the spindle 3000 to
3500 R. P. M. Capacity is largely dependent on the size of the turning and
skill of the operator, but it may be said that under favorable conditions 300
pieces of 12" per hour is possible. The following schedule gives some details

chain. Weights 14,800 lbs. and 18,300 lbs.
Another type of Log Jacker comprises a gear driven drum on which a
wire rope is operated as on the standard type of hoisting winch. This machine
is used for hauling small log cars into the mill and eliminates the “V” trough
of the endless chain type. Logs are loaded on the cars from the storage yard
by the use of skid ways or crane. The empty log cars are run down the inclined
track by gravity controlled by brake on the hoisting drum. This type of
machine is also used to handle logging cars of standard gauge which are
loaded at the woods camps and brought to the mill and hauled to the log deck
and there unloaded with a minimum of handling.
The Log Kicker .is a steam actuated machine employed to throw the
log sidewise out of thè “V” haul-up trough. This machine is built single or
double, the latter comprising essentially two complete machines so ar-
ranged as to kick the logs either way from the central trough in double
mills.
The machine comprises a horizontal rocker shaft below and parallel
with the log trough. Mounted on this shaft is a series of two or more arms
the ends of which are normally below the sides of the trough. These arms
are mounted on short cranks keyed to the rocker shaft, and are so fitted that
when the rocker shaft is partially rotated by the vertical steam cylinder located
below the log deck, they rise and throw the log out of the trough on the loading
deck. Steam cylinder piston rod is usually fitted with a cross head and guides
and is connected to the shaft by a rod running to one comer of a triangular
rocker plate, the other two points of the triangle being the horizontal shaft
and the pivoting point of the kicker bar.
The Clark Log Kickers are built with cylinders steam cushioned at both
ends of the stroke. A heavy steel cross head travels on a round steel guide.
A safety locking device is fitted whereby the piston is held at the lowest point

when steam is off. Different types of wide nosed or “V” section steel push
bars are fitted according to the service required. Cylinders on the Clark line
run from 10" to 18" diameter. Shafts from 4A" to 6ii". Weights of two
arm machines 2400 lbs., to 7980 lbs.
Logs rolled from the trough by the Kicker are stopped before striking
the carriage by the Log Loader and Deck Stop which is a direct steam actuated
machine of similar type to the Kicker. When the piston is at the bottom
of the vertical cylinder a series of two or more arms are projecting from the
log deck and serve to stop the log in loading position. When steam is admitted
to the cylinder the arms retreat into the deck and in doing so raise their tail
ends behind the log so as to roll it on the mill carriage.
The Clark Loader and Deck Stop embodies the same features as the
Kicker built by that company and is fitted with cylinders 10 " to 18" diameter
and shafts 3A" to 6A". Weights 2000 lbs., to 6200 lbs.
A special type loader is built for double cutting band mills and comprises
a series of two or more “J” shaped arms which are pivoted near the crook,
on a rocker shaft actuated by a direct acting steam cylinder. The normal
position of the arms is with the stem projecting vertically from the log deck
in which position it stops the logs. When moved by the steam cylinder the
arms sink from a vertical to a horizontal position, and the log which has rested
in the crook of the *'J” is rolled on the mill carriage over the bridge formed
by the straight part of the arms. This device which carries the log over
the live roll train at the side of carriage allows the uninterrupted passage of
the stock cut on the backward run of the carriage while a log is being loaded.
The Steam Log Turner, commonly called “Nigger,” is used for turning
the log on the carriage, while it is being cut, so as to present new faces to the
cut. This machine is built in two types, the osc llating and the stationary,
each of which has some advantages under certain conditions.
The oscillating machine comprises a toothed steel bar ranging in size
from % "a 5" to l"x8", which is actuated by two vertical, direct acting steam
cylinders pivoted at the base and free to oscillate. These cylinders are located
below the log deck and the toothed bar is normally below the level of mill
carriage. The bar is shaped like an inverted “T” with one of the arms longer
than the other. The piston rods are pivoted, one at each end of the arms
at the base of the toothed bar. The long arm of the “T” is also connected
by a sway or radius bar to a stationary anchorage in the. mill framing. The
action of this mechanism is to raise the toothed bar and at the same time
swing the top end in toward the log so that the teeth swing the log as desired.
The tooth bar slides through spring floor plates which are located on the log
deck, and control the position of the bar at the same time permitting the
necessary latitude of movement. Two diameters of cylinders are used on the
machine, the long arm being connected to the smaller cylinder. The Clark
Log Turners are bui’t in several sizes with cylinders ranging from 6 y2" and
8 "x54" up to 12" and 15"x72". Weights 3000 lbs., to 6820 lbs.
The Stat:onary Log Turner embodies two statibnary cylinders which
are mounted below the log deck, one being vertical and the other inclined
at a slight angle towards the log. Each cylinder is fitted with a direct acting
tooth bar which is offset from the piston rod so as to run close together at
the top. The combined' action of these two bars has the same effect as the
one oscillating bar on the other type machine. Bars are fitted with spring
floor plates in the same manner as the oscillating type* The Murray line
of Stationary Log Turners is built with cylinders ranging from 7 ys" and
8 "x54 " to 8" and 10"x72".
What is called an. Overhead Cantor is sometimes used, especially on
large logs, in connection with the log turner. This machine comprises
essentially an overhead power driven drum on which is wound a chain or
cable fitted with a heavy steel hook used to turn the log.
One type of Overhead Log Cantor built by Clark Bros., carries a chain
drum 10" in diameter and is driven by pinion of 12 teeth, 5 W face meshingAddition to No. 674

THE WHELAND CO.’S STARR LOG UNLOADER
This is a device employed in unloading logs from cars onto storage
skids and delivering them one at a time to the haul-up or log j acker. It
may be handled by one operator with a helper and is stated to save from
50% to 75% of the labor as compared with hand unloading.
The mechanism comprises two patented sliding arms working on each
skidway. These arms are operated by cables actuated by drums driven by
two sets of gears from a twin cylinder, reversing, steam engine of the type
commonly used to operate steam feeds. One set of the driving gears is
controlled by a clutch pinion so that motion of the unloader arms may be
instantly stopped, started or reversed. Control levers are grouped at the
operating station.
Two or three skidways, each fitted with two of the sliding arms, may
be installed and driven by the one engine, by extending the drive shaft.
Control of the additional arms may be simultaneous or independent and
the arms in any one skidway may be independently operated through the
levers at operating station.
One skidway, comprising two sliding arms, will unload one car of logs
at a time. Two skidways, with four sliding arms, driven by one engine,
will unload two cars at the same time. The capacity with two skidways
will be as high as 75,000 to 100,000 feet of logs 32' and up in length per day.
Referring to the cut, No. 1712, Figure “B,” indicates one of the sliding
arms, running in suitable guides and operated by the cables “C.” This
arm is capable of motion to bring the log catcher out under the logs be-
tween the car bunks and to the far side of the load. The log catcher, “B-l,”
located at the outer end of the sliding arm “B,” is automatically lowered
to pass under the logs and, as the mechanism is reversed, it carries the
entire load of logs from the car to position “A-2” on the skids. This
operation is repeated on the succeeding car of logs and the log catcher
moves the first car of logs to position “B-2” on the skids, from which posi-
tion it is advanced to position “A-4” at the log slip where the logs pass one
at a time to the haul-up.
As the space on the skidway fills up the log catchers may be readily
fastened down and made inoperative. When not employed in unloading
cars both sets of log catchers are used in moving logs forward on the skid-
ways. The entire mechanism is heavy and well built to stand the rough
handling which is inseparable from its use. Drum shaft is 4 7/16" diam-
eter and carries 24" drums. Gears are 2" circular pitch by 6" face.with a 67 tooth, 2 %" pitch spur gear. Cast iron spur frictions 36"xl0".
Weight 3550 lbs.
Almost all log handling equipment is built in special sizes and types
for handling the large logs cut in the Pacific coast mills. A special log turner
designed for this heavy work comprises three heavy arms mounted on a rocker
shaft located horizontally below the log deck. These arms are actuated by a
steam cylinder, the piston rod making connection at the outer end of one
of the arms. When the arms are at rest they lie flat in the log deck. When
the log has been loaded on the carriage the arms of the turner rise and push
it against the head block knees. One of the arms is fitted at its outer end
with a pivoted hook arm actuated by an independent steam cylinder and
used to turn the log.
The No. 65 Steam Crane built by Murray is used for handling and stacking
logs in front of the gang mill, for transferring logs and timbers and other
similar work.
This machine comprises a hollow metal mast extending from floor to
ceiling. Below the floor is the vertical steam cylinder which actuates the rod
running up the inside of mast and connected to end of boom. The boom is
pivoted on arms extending from the mast and the vertical motion of the
grapple hooks on end of boom is obtained by tilting the boom by the action
of the vertical steam cylinder. A second steam cylinder is mounted below
the floor in a horizontal position. On the end of piston rod of this cylinder is
a rack which engages a gear on the mast and serves to rotate mast and boom
through an arc of 270 degrees. See also No. 1007.

Live rolls in connection with transfer chains are used for transporting
sawed stock, slabs, edgings, etc., about the saw mill, rolls moving the stock
lengthwise and the chains being utilized where lateral movement is required.
The rolls are either of cast iron with chilled face or of iron pipe. The cast
type range in diameter from 8" to 14" and in length from 20" to 48". The
iron pipe rolls are in diameters running from 4" to 14" and up to 96" long.
Spiked rolls are used for some purposes and are usually belt driven and run
from 24" to 48" long by about 10" diameter. Right or left hand screw rolls,
fluted rolte and concave faced rolls are other special types of roll used for
some purposes.
The usual practice is to drive rolls in series of from 10 to 65 rolls by means
of a longitudinal shaft fitted with bevel gears meshing with gears on each
roll shaft. Sprocket chains running the full length of roll train and meshing
■with sprockets on each roll shaft, by means of binder sprockets, are sometimes
employed in place of the shaft drive. The power required per roll will vary
according to the stock handled and the method of installation from 0.4 to
0.6 H. P. per roll. The usual speed of roll trains is approximately 300 F. P. M.
surface speed and the rolls are spaced from two to four feet centers.

operating stations is a matter of great importance. To minimize labor costs
the roll and transfer system should be as nearly automatic as possible.
A typical roll and transfer system in a modem, single band mill comprises,
in addition to the main roll train which receives all stock from the band mill,
an iron skid transfer which takes slabs from the main rolls and delivers them
to floor transfer chains which carry them to the slasher where they are cut
into lath, stove wood or other by-products. Another skid transfer takes
boards from the main rolls to be conveyed to the trimmer. The trimmed
stock drops on the steeple top transfer chain and may be returned to the
main rolls or carried to the timber dock.
Rolls are mounted singly in self-contained yokes fitted with two roll
bearings and two right angle drive shaft bearings, cast integral with the yoke
and babbitted. Another type of roll bearing comprises a separate housing
for each end of the roll, the one on the driving end being provided also with
bearings for the drive shaft. The best modern practice contemplates mounting
the rolls in series on steel channel sills fitted with bevel gear drive shaft and
mounted on cast iron legs making a complete, self-contained unit which
requires very little millwrighting.
A type of roll traih developed by the Allis-Chalmers Co., comprises steel
channels, cast iron legs and bevel gear drive shaft. The bevel driving gears
are cast by a special process which provides a very hard, long wearing surface.
The gears are all located-in oil-tight casings fitted with machined joints and
are easily opened for inspection or lubrication.	■ •
The screw rolls which are inserted in the train for the purpose of removing
a certain portion of the stock at various stations are fitted with a very coarse
pitch, chilled, cast thread of either right or left pitch and are driven at the
same speed as the plain rolls. So long as the stock moves freely in an endwise
direction on the rolls these screw rolls are non-operative, but when the endwise
travel of the stock is stopped by a bumper, which is operated by foot or hand
lever, the screws immediately throw the stock to right or left according to the
pitch.
A special type of roll made by Clark Bros., is of the chilled face, cast
iron type and is fitted with integral, cast, chilled, gear teeth in the end of roll
which teeth are shrouded by the roll itself. These rolls are driven by split
pinions on the longitudinal shaft and are made in all regular sizes. The
construction of this roll removes all driving strain fropi the roll shaft thus
eliminating any tendency of the roll to loosen on the shaft. The split pinions
are also very quickly replaced without disturbing any other parts of the
machine.
Tables for use back of edgers are usually constructed on steel channel
frames and embody a series of live, iron pipe rolls about 6"x72".
For removing stock from the rolls for lateral transfer, on chains or other
devices various forms of lifting skids are employed and are operated by steam,
by hand, by foot or automatically. These skids comprise arms which are
usually pivoted on the roll driving shaft and are normally below the level
of the rolls. These arms carry transverse, driven, chains and may be raised
under the stock which is thus carried laterally from the rolls.
The Murray No. 41 Automatic Bumper is one of the steam actuated
devices for removing stock from the rolls. It comprises a pivoted bumper
which when struck by the oncoming stock is forced backward and by its
movement opens valve^ and admits steam to the vertical cylinder which
actuates the rock shaft and raises the chain skids. When, Stock is clear the
bumper returns to original position and in doing so shuts off steam and lowers
the skids. Bumper is fitted with pedal control for the. purpose of lowering
it when it is desired that stock shall pass.	.
An automatic type of skid transfer built by the Allis-Chalmers Co.,
comprises a pair of toggle joints which are operated by the bumper and caused
to raise the skids. Skids are counter-balanced and act very quickly when
bumper is tripped. When the stock is clear of bumper a counter-weightNo. 675, Continued
returns bumper to original position and lowers skids.
For moving , the heavier class of cants, timbers, etc., from the rolls a
direct-acting steam trip is employed. The Murray No. 44 is of this type and
comprises a rock shaft 4A" diameter by 120" long for a two-arm or 192"
long for a three-arm machine. This shaft is located horizontally and at right
angles to the roll shafts and carries two or three “L” shaped arms which are
mounted on the shaft by holes in the end of the short leg and are keyed
thereto. The long leg is normally parallel with the axis of rolls and below
the top line of the train. The rock shaft is actuated by a double-acting steam
cylinder of 10" or 12" bore and 20" stroke which rotates the shaft and causes
the arms to rise under the stock and discharge it on to the transverse chains
or other device located to receive it.
What is known as the “ducking dog” transfer is used in the Pacific
coast mills in connection with a steam trip similar to the Murray No. 44
for moving heavy cants laterally to load them on a carriage or deliver
them to a gang saw mill. In these mills the logs are “broken down” by the
head saw and the cants resulting are brought down the roll train to the steam
trip where they are thrown on the transfer which comprises three or
four skids. This transfer is driven by a reversible bevel gear friction and
comprises a heavy chain fitted with pivoted dogs spaced at intervals as required.
In operation the chain is run back under the cant, the pivoted dogs “ducking”
under same. The chain is then reversed and the dogs force the cant to the
required position. For loading on a carriage, the dog head is made with a
long projecting tooth which acts to push the cants some distance beyond
the final point of chain travel.
For driving heavy roll trains and other mill mechanism, bevel friction
drives are employed. A heavy machine of this type is the Murray No. 57
Reversible Bevel Friction Roll Drive which is one of the largest of the extensive
line of friction drives built by that company. This machine is built on a self-
contained frame which embodies heavy cast hangers and structural steel
parts. The bevel friction on vertical shaft is 48" diameter by 12" face and is
driven by two paper frictions 18"xl2". Driving pulley on horizontal shaft
is 30" diameter for 12" belt and is driven at 420 R. P. M., which gives the
rolls 300 F. P. M. surface speed.
An Allis-Chalmers Reversible Bevel Friction Roll Drive which is typical
embodies a cast iron yoke which carries a horizontal shaft with drive pulley
and two bevel frictions. Journaled in the yoke also is a vertical shaft which
carries the bevel friction wheel on bottom end and runs through the floor
to drive the longitudinal roll drive shaft by bevel gearing. When greater
power is required the vertical shaft is bevel geared to a horizontal shaft which
shaft in turn drives the roll shaft by means of spur gears. Another type of
live roll drive comprises horizontal spur friction shafts located below the
mill floor and driven by belt. This shaft drives a horizontal shaft mounted
on the frame of roll train by belt and this shaft is spur geared to the roll drive
shaft.
A Steam Stock Lifter as built by Allis-Chalmers is used behind gang
mills for raising and piling the complete cut of each cant on the skids. This
machineTJornprises a 9" double-acting steam cylinder which actuates a series
of arms mounted on a rock shaft. These arms are normally in a horizontal
position and when the complete cut of the cant has been discharged edgewise
on the bed formed by the arms, the steam cylinder raises the arms to a vertical
position piling the boards one on top of the other on the skids.
An important function of conveyors in the modem mill is in connection
with sorting works, kiln drying and stacking and final disposal of the sawed
stock.
It has been found that in a stock transfer of unusual length, the ordinary
type of transfer chain is not satisfactory by reason of the excessive strain
imposed upon it. In many cases, the pull on the chain caused by its own w-eight,
is greater than its ultimate strength without considering the possible loadNo. 675, Continued.
of two to five thousand feet of lumber which sets up a heavy friction load
between the chain and its races.
To meet this condition a wire rope type of transfer is used which may
be operated in runs up to 500 feet and is built in two, three or four lines of
rope according to conditions. The drive sheaves used with this type of conveyor
have two grooves on which the rope wraps and is tightened by one screw
adjusted take-up idle sheave. The top tangent of rope is carried on idler
sheaves spaced on four or five feet centers and the bottom tangent is supported
on carriers spaced on sixteen feet centers. When used as a sorting works
the space between the idler sheaves on the top run is filled with grooved
hardwood strips to support the rope and keep it in place when boards are
pulled off endwise.
This type of transfer is driven at about 35 F. P. M. by heavy compound
spur friction and geared drive which may be driven from the mill shafting
or by independent motor or engine. Where very heavy stock is to be handled
or where the length of transfer is in excess of 500 feet the driving sheaves
are fitted with four grooves for that number of wraps of the rope and in this
case two take-up sheaves are employed.
fihe Automatic Drop Sorter is a device employed for sorting to length
stock that is to be kilned and depositing each length separately. This machine
comprises a series of eight transfer chains running at right angles to the live
rolls which bring the stock from the mill. Just below these chains are loac-ted
six trains of live rolls located in troughs with flaring sides. The travel of these
roll trains is at right angles with the transfer chains above them or in the
same direction as the main roll train with the rotation reversed. Of the eight
transfer chains the two outside chains extend the full length of the sorter,
the second chain ends at the first roll train, the third chain at the second roll
train and so on to the seventh chain which ends at the sixth roll train.
In operation that portion of the cut wThich is to be sorted is diverted to
the screw rolls by a shear board pivoted on the end of a bumper. The screw
rolls deliver the stock to lateral chains where the ends are evened by a stop
located at a slight angle to the chain travel. Passing from these chains to
the sorting chains the stock travels to the first roll train where the second
chain ends and leaves the eight and ten foot stock supported only by the end
chain so that it drops on the rolls and is delivered to the proper bin. All
stock longer than ten feet continues on the first and the ,third chains to the
second roll station where the third chain ends and drops twelve foot stock.
This sorting process is continued to where the seventh chain ends at the sixth
roll station and drops the twenty foot stock, all longer stock continuing on
off the end of sort works. See also No. 1007.No. 676.

The machine comprises two steel frames of towers of the required height
which are mounted on a portable wheeled base and fitted with a driving shaft
and sprocket wheels at the bottom and idle sprockets at the top. Running
from top to bottom of these towers are elevating chains fitted at intervals
with special carrying lugs. In operation the boards are laid horizontally
on these lugs by the ground men and are carried up one side of the towers,
over the top and down the other side to the pilers who remove the boards
as they pass by. The lugs are so designed that the boards pass over the top
sprocket satisfactorily. The machine may be operated in a ten foot alley
and is located close to the pile, the boards going up the outside and being
delivered crosswise of the pile or parallel with the stickers. The drive is at
such speed that the pilers can handle the boards as fast as they are elevated.
Special unloaders are furnished for removing extra heavy plank from the lugs.
The drive is by means of a 3 H. P. electric motor or by an 8 or 10 H. P.
gasoline engine, the motive power in either case being mounted on the base
of machine. Range of the standard machines is for stock up to 4" thick by
18" wide and any length from 8 to 24 feet. Special pilers can be built to take
stock from 6 to 20 feet long and for extra wide stock to 24". A third tower
and chain may be fitted giving a range in length of 2 to 24 feet, but the special
short stock machine is recommended in place of the three chain type as it is
lighter to handle. The machines are fitted with wheels for dirt roads or with
flanged wheels for tracks.No. 678.
Lumber Stacking Machines for Kiln Cars.
Builders:
Soule Steam Feed Works.
This type machine is used principally in large milling operations and
is designed for piling lumber on the kiln cars direct from the transfer chains.
The machine comprises a platform which surrounds the kiln car and is fitted
with chain conveyors and an operator's platform. This unit, composed of the
main platform, the discharge end of the conveyor and the operating platform
is counter-balanced and fitted with a power driven elevating mechanism
whereby it rises slowly at such speed as will care for the output coming to it
from the mill. The receiving end of the conveyor remains at a fixed level
and receives the lumber from the trimmer chains or other conveyors. Auto-
matic straighteners are fitted which square the lumber should it be delivered
at an angle. The main frame upon which the operator’s platform is mounted
serves as the limit of the stock in all directions and is fitted with guides for
the stickers.
In operation the kiln cars are mounted on the tracks and the stacker
frame lowered to the level of the first course which is filled. Operator then
places the stickers in the guides and the conveyor delivers the boards in a
sheet on the stickers, operator spacing same by hand. The raising of the
frame and the delivery of the stock in a sheet is continuous and at such speed
as permits the operator or operators to keep pace with the trimmer. For
outputs up to 30,000 feet per day one operator is needed, for outputs up to
60,000 two operators are required. The process of removing the finished
load and starting a new one is very simple and need consume no more than
two minutes. This machine is adapted to piling on trucks of any type, either
cross or end piling.

It is also used extensively even where conditions make it possible to run the
cars direct from kiln tracks to cutting floor. In this case the elevator is located
in a pit and used to lower the load so that the top course is at a convenient
height. As the top courses are worked off the elevator is gradually raised,
keeping the stock at all times at a convenient working height.
The usual construction involves a steel or wood platform, with tracks,
which is operated by two or four large screws the nuts of which are rotated
by a motor driven mechanism. Competent thrust bearings are fitted for the
nuts and the screws are fitted with casings which are sunk in the ground.
The usual drive is by motor and chain with reducing motion. Push button

live roll trains, automatic vertical or other type of cut-off saws, slab saws,
etc., the whole forming a complete mine timber mill.
The Box, Figure 44 Single-End Hand Feed Framing Machine comprises
a large cylindrical column mounted on a base plate and machined to form
ways for two radial arms. Through the outer ends of these arms a vertical
shaft extends and is driven by pulley on the bottom end. Journaled in the
end of each arm concentric with the vertical shaft is a sleeve which is driven
by the shaft which is key seated. The sleeve on the lower arm carries on its
upper end a circular rip saw and the upper arm sleeve carries a similar saw on
its lower end. These saws are adjustab’e to any desired distance apart by
means of the screw and handwheel operated adjustment of the radial arms on
the column. Mounted on each radial arm is a horizontal belt driven arbor
which carries a cut-off saw and is axially adjustable to or from the column.
Mounted on the floor at right angles to the horizontal cut-off saw arbors
are two rails on which a carriage travels by hand. This carriage is fitted with
suitable revolvable chucks in which the log or timber is mounted and clamped.
In operation the timber is mounted horizontally in the carriage chucks and the
end located against an adjustable stop carried on an independent floor stand.
The carriage is then pushed forward, the rip saws cutting the sides of the
tenon and the cut-off saws cutting down the shoulders. The chucks are then
revolved ninety degrees and the carriage and timber pulled back through
the saws to the starting position thus completing a tenon with four shoulders
on one end of the timber. The top part of the carriage with chucks and t'rnber
is then revolved through one hundred and eighty degrees and the operation
repeated on the other end of the timber. The capacity using two operators
is 30 timbers per hour. Power 25 H. P. Floor space including countershaft,
180 "x288 ". Weight 7000 lbs.
The Box, Figure 435 machine is the same as the Figure 44 with the
addition of motor drive. This drive comprises two motors, a vertical motor
mounted at the top and coupled direct to the vertical driving shaft and a
horizontal motor which drives the two horizontal saw arbors.
The Box, Figure 431 Double-End Framing Machine is a direct motor
driven type and comprises essentially two single-end machines of the same
construction as the Figure 435. The~c machines are mounted one on each end
of a heavy base plate with a power operated carriage between them. The
drive comprises five motors, two vertical motors direct connected to the
vertical shafts, two horizontal motors driving the four horizontal saw arbors,
and a smaller motor employed to drive the power feed mechanism and also
to traverse the right hand housing on the base plate when adjusting for
length. The capacity of this machine is 60 timbers per hour. Approximate
weight 20,000 lbs. Floor space according to length to be cut.
The Greenlee No. 697 Semi-Automatic Single-End Machine has range
for round logs up to 18" in diameter and for square timbers to 12"xl2".
Minimum length 4'0". Maximum 9'0", or more if ordered. Oblong, square
or stepped tenons may be cut. No vertical shaft is employed and the entire
surplus material is cut into chips by the cutter heads.
The machine comprises a cored housing which provides vertical slides
for the two cutter head spindle yokes. The spindles carry the drive pulleys
between bearings and the gang of cutter heads on the outer ends. If stepped
tenons are to be cut the cutters are of different diameters, the smallest beingNo. 683, Continued.
on the outer end. If a square or oblong tenon is wanted the cutters are all
of one diameter. Cutter heads are driven from a floor countershaft in the
rear of maahine. Mounted on a cored sub-base with horizontal ways at right
angles to the cutter head spindles is the carriage which is fitted with a revolving
chuck and is operated by a compressed air cylinder. At the end of the stroke
the chuck is rotated through ninety degrees and as the carriage trave’s back
the cutter heads automatically open if desired to produce an oblong tenon.
The top section of carriage is then rotated on a ball bearing 19" in diameter
to bring the other end of the timber into operating position. Cutter heads
are completely covered by competent casings. Weight 13,500 lbs.
The Greenlee No. 691 Automatic Double-End Framing Machine comprises
essentially, two housings like the No. 697 housings, mounted on a heavy
base plate with an air operated carriage between them. The right hand housing
is adjustable by hand or power to any point on the ways of the base plate.
The cutters are of the same inserted tooth type as employed on the No. 697
and convert the entire surplus wood into chips. The two adjustable cutter
head spindles in each housing are driven by one 12" belt from a floor counter-
shaft in the rear of machine. The chucks form a complete circle, one on each
end near the cutters and the logs are shoved through them from the end and
located in position against an end stop by a train of live rolls. These rolls
are a part of the machine and are located at right angles to the cutter head
spindles, both between and outside the chucks. The carriage and the chucks
are operated by compressed air, the log being centered, clamped, fed through
the cutters, chucks rotated and the carriage fed back to starting point by
the use of air cylinders. The control of air valves for the clamping and
carriage feeds is by hand and the rotation of the chucks is automatic. The
finished log is removed endwise from the chucks by the live roll train. Range
is for logs to a maximum diameter of 18" and from four to nine feet long or
longer on order. Weight 23,000 lbs.
The No. 691 machine is also built in a hand feed type in which rack and
pinion hand operated feeds are substituted for the air operated feeds. The
No. 697 machine is also built with a hand feed carriage which travels on wheels.
The Greenlee No. 699 Combination Framing Machine is designed for
making a combined square and bevel joint on the ends of posts, caps and
girths as contemplated by the Brunton System of framing. This machine
is of the single end type with revolving turn-table under the chuck to bring
both ends of the log into cutting position. Mounted in a heavy base are two
saw arbors fitted with heavy inserted tooth saws. The rear end of the lower
arbor, both being set in the same vertical plane, is dropped to an angle of
approximately forty-five degrees from the horizontal. The rear end of the
upper arbor is elevated to the same angle. This position of the arbors locates
the saws in such position that two sides of the log are beveled as it passes
between the saws. The two arbors are adjustable in a vertical plane so that
a greater or less square may be left on the end of the log. Passing the beveling
saws the log continues forward and is operated on by properly spaced cutters
mounted on a vertical arbor. These cutters cut into the bevel cut of the
saws and leave a square shoulder. The log then continues on to a cut-eff
saw carried on a horizontal arbor where the stub tenon is trimmed to length.
The chucks are then rotated ninety degress and the other two sides of the
joint completad. Chuck and log are then revolved and the other end of the
log is fitted by the same process. The chuck carriage travels by rope feed on
long horizontal ways of a one-piece base located in front of and at right angles
to the saw arbors.No. 684.

This machine employes a knife for cutting miter joints on all kinds of
moulding and is used in sashBdoor, cabinet and many other kinds of work.
It is designed for cutting miters only and is not to be confused with the
universal type trimmers which cut at any angle.
This tool which is built in both bench and pedestal types comprises a
knife carriage operated in vertical ways by a foot lever or by a pedal. Mounted
on this carriage, edge down are two knives the faces of which form an exact
right angle one with the other. The cutting edges of these knives are at a
considerable angle wTith the horizontal table so that the cut is on a heavy
shear. On the table in front of the knives is a straight fence which is adjustab’e
to or from the knives and is located so that the knives each stand at an ang’e
of 45 degrees with the fence. The short edges of the knives join in the center
and in cutting small moulding the fence is adjusted so that the mould is severed
by the cut which removes a triangular piece and cuts the two miters at one
cut. In working large moulds the fence is backed away from the knives and
successive cuts are made until the mould is severed by the last cut. This
machine is built in several sizes some of which cut mouldings up to 4 y2 "x6"
The larger machines are mounted on cast pedestals and operated by pedal
The Smith No. 546-D machine differs from the above machines in the fact
that the knife is straight on the face and the edge formsan inverted “V”. The
gauge in front of the knives has two faces at an angle of 90 degrees with each
other and is set so that each face is located at a 45 degree angle with the
knife. In other words the knife on this machine is shaped like the gauge on
the standard tool and the guage is shaped like the knife on that tool. This
machine operates on the same plan as the universal trimmer except that the
knife travel is in a vertical instead of a horizontal plane. Bench space 24"x36,/.
Weight 75 lbs. Smith also builds a machine of the ordinary type.
The,/‘Eastman” Miter Cutting Machine built by the National Wood
Working Machinery Co. is built on a cast pedestal and is fitted with knives
having an oscillating motion combined with the downward stroke which is
by pedal. The knives are pivoted on the head and as the head is lowered the
knives are guided by slots so that they have two distinct motions giving a
draw cut which is very effectual. A boring attachment operated by the same
pedal w hich operates the head may be fitted and is used for making a brad
hole at the same time the mould is being cut. An improved rule and stop
which gives sight and rabbet measurements without calculation is fitted. The
amount of spring required in picture frame work is provided for by adjusting
screws. An attachment for coping mullion and bars for cut-up sash, diamond
lights, etc. is applied on order. This machine has range to cut mouldings to
2 y2" wide and is largely used in picture frame work. Floor space 24"x30".

Mortising Machines, Hollow Chisel, Vertical, Foot Feed.
Builders:
American W. W. Machinery Co. Hall & Brown W. W. Machine Co.
The Hollow Chisel Mortising Machine is used in all classes of wood
working for cutting mortises in hard or soft wood. As the mortise is cut by
successive strokes of a square hollow chisel there is no limit to the width or
length of mortise that can be made. The principle involved in the operation
of this tool contemplates a carriage or ram mounted in either horizontal or
vertical ways and traversed by foot lever or power friction driven mechanism.
This carriage is fitted to receive the shank of a square, hollow chisel the cutting
end of which is beveled from the inside and so shaped that the corners are
slightly in advance of the sides thus giving a shear cut similar to a trimmer
knife. Revolving inside of, and in a fixed relation to the chisel is a special
type of pointless auger bit which is set to cut slightly in advance of the chisel.
In operation the carriage is fed towards the wood and the bit bores a round
hole of a diameter equalling the cross section of the chisel. The chisel
following the cut of the bit shears out the corners of this round hole into a
square. The chips made by both the chisel and the auger are removed by tvo
twist of the latter and discharged through a slot in the chsiel rear the shank.
The stock is then shifted, c ther by hand cr by the operation of a compound
table operated by handwheel and fitted with stops to regulate the length
of mortise, and the operation repeated until the mortise is of the required
length. Oblong, oval or other shapes of chisels within certain limits may bo
used for special work. About the smallest practicable size chisel is li" square
and even that size is a very delicate tool. The maximum size chisel generally
used is 3" square for car work. Mortises may range in depth up to 10", the
deeper mortises being cut by the larger sizes of chisels. Hie usual range of
shop mortisers is for tools up to about 1 V/ square cutting 4" to 6" deep.
The machines listed under this paragraph are fitted with vertical, pedal
operated carriage and have range for chisels up to about %" square or
in soft wood. This type of mortiser is largely used in sash and door work.
A typical machine of this type is built on a cored column with countershaft
mounted at the base and a vertically adjustable table on the front face. The
chisel carriage is operated in vertical ways above the table by a pedal fitted
with an adjustable fulcruming point. The boring spindle is driven by belt
from the countershaft. The table in addition to the vertical adjustment
is fitted to tilt for cutting mortises at an angle and may be plain or compound.
The compound table is fitted with longitudinal rack and pinion operated
motion between suitable stops and a screw clamp for the stock. In this
type table a mortise of any required length is cut without declamping. Suitable
strippers are fitted to free the wood from the chisel on the up stroke. The
countershaft turns from 900 to 1200 R. P. M. and a motor of 2 to 3 H. P.
may be substituted. Floor space 30 "x48 ' up to 56 "x61Weights 900 lbs. to
1200 lbs.
The drive on the American No. 25 machine of this type differs from
the usual drive in the fact that a horizontal shaft at the top) of the column
drives the vertical boring spindle through metal and rawhide bevel gears
thus dispensing with the guide pulleys for the belt from the horizontal
countershaft at base. Motor application on this machine comprises a
horizontal motor mounted at the top of the column and driving vertical
spindle through bevel gears.

The Whitney No. 75 Mortising machine of the above type is a high-
grade, ball bearing tool of the latest design, involving an entirely new operating
principle. Range is to carry chisels up to llA" square, mortise to 6" deep,
8 A" from the edge of stock of a maximum size of 12 "xl2".
This machine is built on a cored column of modern design with an unusually
large bearing area on the floor. The boring spindle, mounted in ball bearings,
is driven by the direct mounted rotor of a 3450 R. P. M. motor, the stator and
housing of which form a part of the chisel carriage^ This carriage is operated
in vertical, gibbed ways by hydraulic pressure furnished by a direct motor
driven pump mounted at the rear on base of machine. The operating cylinder
is supplied with oil in any one of three volumes by a simple adjustment which
can be made while machine is in operation. These three volumes of operating
oil provide for three speeds of carriage travel, 144", 288" or 422" per minute,
these speeds remaining constant regardless of the length of stroke which may
be adjusted from 1 ^ " to 6". When the operating pedal is depressed the
carriage strokes are continuous and of a length governed by the stops. When
pedal is released the carriage returns to its highest position, regardless of the
stops, and remains stationary until pedal is again depressed.
The compound table has longitudinal motion between adjustable stops

Mortising Machines, Reciprocating Chisel Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
H. B. Smith Machine Co.
John T. Towsley Mfg. Co.
This type of mortising machine is the oldest known and is still used to
some extent especially in vehicle hub mortising. The principle upon which
it operates is that of a vertically reciprocating chisel which takes a thin shaving
from the end of the mortise until the desired length is reached, the stock
meanwhile being fed onto the chisel. In hard wood it is necessary to bore a hole
to start the chisel and the same is true of heavy work in soft woods. Various
special shapes of chisels have been designed for the purpose of expelling the
chips from the mortise but under the best conditions considerable hand
cleaning is necessary to completely clear the mortise. The nature of the
machine makes considerable shock and jar unavoidable in its operation and
more or less splitting of light stock is apt to occur.
The machine comprises essentially a cored column with a competent belt
driven crank shaft at the top and a vertically adjustable, pedal operated,
plain or compound table on the front face. . Above the table is the vertical
chisel bar the upper end of which is connected to the crank by a short rod
and in the lower end of which is a taper hole for the chisel shank. The chisel
bar is of square section and reciprocates vertically in a brass quill at the rate
of 500 to 600 strokes per minute. The vertical boring spindle if fitted is located
at the side of the chisel bar and is lined up with the chisel. The boring spindle
is operated by a hand or foot lever and is employed to bore a hole or series
of holes to lighten the work of the chisel. The chisel has a body of the same
width as the mortise and is fitted with a lip on each side extending lengthwise
of the mortise. The table upon which the stock is clamped is raised gradually
onto the reciprocating chisel by the action of the pedal and at the same time
the stock is fed longitudinally until a mortise of the desired length is cut.
The quill through which the square chisel bar works is fitted with a friction
device connected with the pedal in such manner that when table is lowered
to clear the chisel the bar is rotated one-half turn thus putting the cutting edge
of the chisel toward the other end of the mortise. The usual stroke ranges from
4" to 5" and chisels up to an approximate width of may be used. The horse
power required varies from two to ten and the floor space from 36"x38" for
a small machine to 41"x45" for a large type. Weights 800 lbs. to 1800 lbs.,

Mortising Machines, Chain Saw Type.
Builders:
New Britain Machine Co.	Hans Renold, Inc. (Tools only)
This type of mortising machine cuts a mortise of any size, within certain
limits, complete at one cut by the use of a cutting chain which travels at
high speed around a bar of the proper shape. The mortise is cut very rapidly
by the chain which as it leaves the mortise carries all thè chips with it leaving
the mortise clean. The ends of the mortise may be parallel or one or both may
be tapered, depending on the shape of the bar. While using the smaller sizes
of bars in some kinds of wood there is a tendency for the bar to spring and
follow the grain of the wood thereby producing inaccurate work. The large
radius of the bottom of the mortise is also an objection in some kinds of
blind mortised work. The machine however in spite of these objections is
very extensively used in door and other work.
The machine comprises a one-piece frame with the countershaft at the
base and the horizontal sprocket shaft at the top. This shaft carries at its
end a detachable sprocket and is fitted with a small blower and casing which
covers the mortising chain and removes the chips. On the front of the frame
below the sprocket is the table with clamping device. This table may be
plain or compound, the latter being preferable when long mortises are to
be made by successive cuts of the chain, and is operated by pedal or by a power
feeding device governed by a pedal. On the machines which are fitted with
power feed the table feeds upward by power and drops by gravity. Just
below the sprocket is the cross head to which the mortising bar is bolted.
This cross head is adjustable vertically by screw and handwheel to give the
chain the right amount of tension. This chain tension must be very accurately
adjusted for best results.
The New Britain machines are built in eight different numbers with foot
lever, pedal controlled power and continuous power feed for the tables. The
tables are built both plain and compound. The Number 10 machine is of the
continuous feed type and is fitted with ball bearings. Range on the various
machines is to mortise to the center of 2" to 5". Floor space 24"x54" to
47"x67". Weights 800 lbs. to 1450 lbs. Motor of 3 to 10 H. P., 900 R. P. M.
may be coupled direct to the countershaft on any of the machines.
The cutting chain used on these machines is built up, with rivetted joints,
something like a steel block chain with the difference that the mortising chain
has cutting teeth on both the inside and the outside links the cut of the teeth
overlapping so that a cut the width of the chain is made. The outside links
project beyond the inside links on the back to form a channel by which the
chain is guided on the mortising bar. The chain is driven by a sprocket of five
to eight teeth mounted on the horizontal shaft at the top of machine. Mounted
on the cross head below the driving sprocket is the mortising bar (which
establishes the size of the mortise) around which the chain travels.
This bar is slightly less in thickness than the width of mortise to be cut
and carries on roller bearings at the lower end a roller, the diameter of which
is the same as the width of the bar, or in other words the length of the mortise
less twice the thickness of the chain. On each edge of the bar is milled a rib
which fits the channel in the back of the chain and guides it on the bar. The
roller at the bottom is of the same thickness as this rib and takes the strain
of the cut and at the same time holds the chain in position. To cut rapidly
the chain is driven at several thousand feet per minute, which high speed
together with the necessarily small size of the bar make necessary a very
high grade of workmanship and material in both bars and chain. The chain
being driven at high speed around the bar the stock to be mortised is fed
to the bar and the mortise is cut complete at the rate of one inch in depth
per second. New Britain tools are furnished in sizes to cut mortises " to
1” wide and with round end bars from 1 Yi” to 2 %" long. For mortises of a
greater length bars are made with two rollers, one at each comer of the bar
and produce a flat bottom, round cornered mortise of any reasonable lengthNo. 699, Continued.
at one stroke. The maximum depth of cut ranges from 4" with the smaller
bars up to 6" or more with the larger tools.
A most excellent grade of bars and chains, or “gear" as it is called ;n
England is made by Hans Renold, Ltd., Didsbury, Manchester, England and
is handled in this country by Hans Renold, Inc., 365 Broadway, N. Y.
The English chains which are made from extra choice tool steel are
assembled with shouldered rivets and after assembling are scientifically
hardened as a unit thus insuring uniformity of temper. These chains are
made in two pitches, .89" and .54" the coarser, more rugged pitch being used
for mortises above ly" long and the smaller, more delicate chain, for mortises
down to a minimum of %" long. The .89" pitch chains are made in widths
of y\ A",	A", y/, A",	y" and 1" and the .54" pitch in
six widths ranging by sixteenths from y" to A" wide. These chains are so
designed as regards tooth shape that each tooth cuts freely yet removes but
a slight chip thus decreasing the strain on the chain as a whole. Before being
shipped there chains are tested under a load far in excess of any working
load and are then put through a working test in hard wood. After the com-
pletion cf the tests the chain is examined link by link under a microscope for
flaws and cracks.
The sprocket speed recommended by Renold is 3400 R. P. M. which
with the 4 tooth sprockets used for small mortises gives 1000 F. P. M. chain
speed and with the 8 tooth sprockets used for larger mortises 2000 F. P. M.
The .54" pitch chain is used with 6 tooth sprockets and the 3400 R. P. M.
of this sprocket g’ves a chain speed of 920 F. P. M. Renold however states
that much higher speeds than the above have been used with success and
states that “the maximum speed is governed by the machine and bearings."
Copious lubrication of both chain and bars is very essential to satisfactory
operation and life of the tools.
The Renold bars are of very accurate construction and temper and are
made in a wide range of regular and special sizes.

Mortising Machines, Double Chisel, Reciprocating Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 6 machine is used for mortising in hard and soft wood
and is of the type which employs two reciprocating chisels carried in vertical
chisel bars set at a slight angle vertically so that the points of the chisels
are close together. Range is for mortises from 14" to 1 lA" wide and up to
6" long.
Machine is built on an “H” type column with countershaft at the top,
yokes for chisel bars and boring spindle on the upper front face and slides
for the table knee on the lower front face. The countershaft embodies a friction
clutch drive for the double throw crank shaft which operates the chisel bars
and is also fitted with gears and pulleys for driving the various feed motions.
The boring spindle is driven by cased-in, cut gears and is so located that
the center of bit is in line with the center of chisels. When used for separate
boring the spindle may be set at any angle required.
The chisel bars being set at an angle from the vertical and the chisels
being offset from the center line of the bars, the cutting points of the chisels
operate in the same vertical plane. Chisels are reciprocated by means of
connecting rods from the double throw crank under the control of a pedal
at the rate of 370 strokes per minute.
Table is fitted with a screw clamp for mounting the stock and has
longitudinal and transverse adjustments for locating the mortise. Knee
which carries the table is raised to bring the work to the chisels by a friction
driven cam and when it has reached the top position it dwells and the auto-
matic longitudinal feed of the table on the knee starts, and continues until
the mortise is completed to the length for which it is set. All motions of the
table and knee are completely automatic and w'hen the mortise is completed
table returns to starting position without attention by the operator.
Mortises may be cut tapering in either direction, tapering at one end
and perpendicular at the ether or perpendicular at both ends. Capacity
is about 600 medium sized mortises in soft wood per hour. Not weight 2000

Moulders, Special Two-Head Type.
Builders:
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
The Fay-Egan No. 292 “Gatling Gun” moulder is a special tool fitted
with top and bottom heads only and designed for use in quantity production
of dowels, trunk slats, quarter rounds and other small mouldings from edgings
which may be fed six pieces (of 1 H" or less width) at once and produce perfect
moulding.
The machine is built on a heavy one-piece cored base with floor counter-
shaft on a separate base attached to outfeed end of machine by adjustable
steel rods. The lower head cuts first, followed closely by the top head. Both
heads are solid steel forgings, four sided and slotted. Bottom head draws
out the side of machine and both top and bottom heads are fitted with
removable outboard bearings.
The feed comprises two fluted top rolls and two bed rolls all driven by
heavy gearing. Bottom rolls may be grooved for working stock corner down
as in running quarter round. All feed roll gearing is cut from the solid. Feed
rates of 18, 20, 36 and 42 F. P. M. are available. Motor of 15 to 20 H. P.,

Moulders, Direct Motor Driven Type.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.	S. A. Woods Machine Cc.
Mattison Machine Works.	P. B. Yates Machine Co.
Vonnegut Machinery Co.
This class of machine reprcents the latent development in moulding
machines and is used for high duty production work in the leading wood working
plants of the United States. The design embodies ball bearing, cutter he id
spindles which carry the rotors of high-speed alternating current motors
driving direct without the intervention of belts, gears or couplings. A motor
is employed for each spindle and an independent motor for the feed drive.
The latter is in some machines belted and in others geared direct to the feed
works. Belts on moulding machines are probably at more of a disadvantage
than on any other wood working machine and this construction eliminates
them. The design of this tool also embraces other changes from the time
honored belt driven design among the most important of which U the mounting
of the bed solidly on the top of the main frame and adjusting the cutter head
yokes in place of adjusting the bed. Hopper feed may be applied to any of
this class machine and on short stock is necessary to attain full capacity of
the machine. The usual design is such as to combine the advantages cf both
the outside and the inside types of moulder.
The American No. 35 machine is built in two sizes, 7%and 9" wide, each
of which will work stock to 4" thick. This machine is built on a cored, box
type base upon which the bed is non-adjustably mounted. This bed is entirely
free of openings and is fitted with easily removable wearing plates which
may be refaced when worn. Rear bed after the bottom head is fitted to swing
down and is counter-balanced by coil spring. The guide forms one unbroken
line from end to end of bed, the openings for side heads being fitted with
detachable filler blocks. The top and bottom cutter head spindles carry the
rotor of the driving motor between heavy ball bearings and are fitted with a
removable, babbitted, side clamping bearing outside the cutter heads. The
design contemplates mounting the bearings for top, bottom and side head
spindles directly on the heavy adjustable yokes instead of in the motor housing.
Each of the high-grade ball bearings used is fitted with independent oil pump
which insures copious lubrication.
The top head yoke and chipbreoker are fitted with simultaneous lateral
adjustment and the chipbreaker also adjusts laterally independently and
may be swung up to clear the head. The top head yoke adjusts vertically
on ball bearing screws. The bottom head yoke is fitted with vertical and
horizontal adjustment and the pressure bar over this head is fitted with parallel
vertical adjustment as well as independent adjustment for each end. The top
and bottom spindles are 1U* diameter to receive heads which may be round
or square type. Maximum cutting circle 9". The side head spindle yokes
are vertically, laterally and angularly adjustable and the rotor of driving
motor is mounted on the spindle between large ball bearings which are mounted
directly on the yoke. The side spindles are 1 y% " diameter for heads of maximum
swing of 8". Jointing attachments are fitted for all cutter heads.
The feed works involve four feed rolls driven from an independent motor
by a completely beltless system. Top roll spring tension is adjusted by crank
and rolls are adjusted vertically by a crank at two places or by a large handwheel
at the top of housing. Feed is controlled by clutch and eight feed rates
ranging from 15 to 125 F. P. M. are available through an inclosed transmission.
The motors used on the various spindles vary in rating as indicated by the
service the machine is built for and may range from 18 to 33 H. P. total motor
rating. In some cases this machine has been fitted with motors of 6000 to
7200 R. P. M. and used with a reduced number of knives per head with
marked success.No., 706 Continued.
Machine and motor control are centralized at the operating station,
the latter comprising independent push button control for each motor with
master button for simultaneous control. Floor space for either machine
65"xll0". Weights 9200 lbs. and 9500 lbs.
The Mattison mcahine of this class is built in two sizes, No. 223 having
range for stock up to 8"x4" and the No. 225 taking stock to 12 "x6". This
machine is built on a cored, box type base upon the top of which the bed is
mounted. The top and bottom cutter head spindles are mounted in three
large ball bearings, two of which are carried in the motor housing with the
rotor between them. The third bearing is mounted in a tapered, self-centering
sleeve in the removable outer bearing housing. Side head spindles carry the
rotor between two large ball bearings. All spindles are accurately ground and
heat treated.
The feed works comprise four rolls fitted with interchangeable bushings
and driven from an independent motor mounted on the base of machine
by a belt with automatic binder pulley. The upper and the lower rolls are
driven by independent gearing from the main feed shaft. The upper rolls
will yield for one inch variation in stock. The table on both sides of the lower
head is composed of adjustable sections 2" wide which may be set very close
to the cut of the head. The side head spindles have 2" vertical adjustment
and tilt to 45 degrees in and 15 degrees out. The top and bottom head spindles
adjust laterally 1" and the bottom head is also fitted with 1" vertical adjust-
ment. Top head adjusts vertically within the range of the machine. Feed
control levers are located at each end of the machine. Top head chipbreaker
is of the sectional type with independently adjustable sections. Both chip
breaker and pressure bar adjust with the yoke. Head may be jointed and
ground on the machine or in the tool room, the latter being recommended
by the builders. Motor control is centralized at the operating station and
embodies independent switches for each motor with a reversing switch for
the feed motor.

The Eaglesfield Moulder built by the Vonnegut Co. is constructed on
a cored, box type frame in two sizes, 6" and 12" each having range for stock
to 4" thick. The top, bottom and side heads on the six-inch machine are of
unit construction and carry the rotor of the driving motor between ball bearings
which are mounted in the motor housing. This size machine is not fitted with
outboard bearings. The top, bottom and side heads of the 12" machine are
also of the unit type, the top and bottom heads embodying outboard bearings.No. 706, Continued.
The unit construction of these parts involves a spindle, ball bearings, motor
housing, motor and in the 12" machine, outboard bearings. The extension
of the motor housing within which is carried the spindle with its tear'ngs
is concentrically machined and is carried in a heavy housing which is adjustably
mounted on the frame of machine. The outboard bearing is carried on an
arm which extends from the motor housing across the bed below the feed line.
The spindles are all of one-piece construction except in the case of the 12"
heads. In this size the cutter head is mounted on a separable section of the
spindle which is made into the motor section of spindle by means of accurately
ground male and female tapers which are drawn home by a bolt passing
axially through the motor spindle.
Adjustment up to the maximum range of the machine is made by moving
the complete cutter head units on the adjustable housings. These adjust-
ments are made in slides fitted with adjustable gibs and competent locking
devices. The feed works are also a complete unit and comprise four 8" rolls
closely centered and located one pair directly over the other. The mechanism
w hich drives the rolls is completely inclosed and is driven by an independent,
two-speed motor located on a bracket at the infeed end of machine and belted
to the primary feed shaft. This motor is fitted with forward speeds of 900
and 1800 R. P. M. together with a reverse motion all controlled by one hand-
wheel.
The top head shoe and chipbreaker and the side head fences and chip
breakers are part of their respective cutter head units and adjust therewith.
Motor control is by means of a five-drum, one unit controller of the
star delta type mounted at operating station. This controller contemplates
starting the motors without the uee of ccnpensating coils and also pro-
vides fer operating the meters on light work at approximately 50% full
load power consumption. Each of the five motor control drums is
operated by an independent handwheel. Cutter heads are of the round,
slip-on type except in the case of the 12" top and bottom heads which may
be forged integral with the spindle section. Hopper feed, jointing and electric
grinding attachments are fitted.

The Woods No. 701 Four-Head Moulder of this class is built on a heavy
cored base in 8", 12" and 15" sizes all of which will work stock to a maximum
thickness of 6ii This machine as regularly built carries the cutter head spindles
in babbitted bearings but ball bearings may be fitted on order. Feed is driven
by an independent motor mounted on top of the gear housing and connected
by belt with the clutch pulley which drives the feed gearing. Three feedNo. 706, Continued.
rates are available by gears and the pulley may be removed from motor and
mounted on an intermediate shaft which is driven from motor through lever
operated sliding gears giving two changes. This mechanism makes available
nine feed rates ranging from 32 to 160 F. P. M. The rolls on the upper shafts
are in four sections each, and are readily removable and may be positioned
as required. The entire top roll unit is mounted on an overhanging member
of the main frame and the outboard roll bearings are readily removable. Rolls
are tensioned by a system of double springs and draw rods housed within
the frame. Lower rolls are larger in diameter than the upper ones for easy
entry of stock. The top and bottom spindles are fitted with removable out-
board bearings and carry the Woods slip-on heads. The side head spindle3
are tilted by the same screw which adjusts them laterally. The pivoting
point of the spindle is at a point formed by the intersection of the bed line
with the cutting circle, this result being obtained by pivoting the housings
in segmental cradles. A scale indicates vertical and angular adjustment of
the spindles. Brake is fitted to side head spindles.
The top head chipbreaker which is sectional with independently adjustable
slices is so hung as to swing very nearly concentric with the head and is
tensioned through a rocker arm and draw rods and springs. Tension is very
completely adjustable and may be set to lighten or increase the normal weight
of the chipbreaker. Shavings from lower head are removed through an
internal flue with exhaust connection at rear of frame. Hopper feed may
be, and profile jointing devices for all heads are, fitted. Motors used on this
machine are of the Woods make and are especially designed for direct mounted
cutter head service. They are of the 40 degree type with 25% overload
guarantee. Motor control involves individual push buttons, grouped at
operating station, which operate contact switches with overload protection.
Feed motor control switch provides neutral, forward and reverse points.
The builders of this machine lay especial stress on the accessibility of all adjust-
ments.
The Woods No. 701-B is the same as the foregoing machine with the
addition of a surfacing head mounted in the bed between the rolls and used
for leveling the stock preliminary to the cut of the moulding heads. Feeds
range from 16_to 180 F. P. M.

The Mattison Motor Moulder, illustrated above, is built in four sizes
on a cored, box type base which carries the bed solidly on its top. Top and
bottom head spindles are mounted in three large ball bearings, two of
which are carried in the motor housing and the third on a sleeve in the
removable, outboard bearing housing. Side head spindles are mounted in
two large ball bearings and tilt to 45 in or 15 out. All spindles are ground
and heat treated. The four 8-inch feed rolls are mounted on roller bear-
ing shafts and driven by independent motor with belt and automatic binder.
Upper and lower rolls are driven by independent chains from the primary
shaft. Upper rolls hoist in a vertical line and have ample yield. Bed on
both sides of lower head is sectional and the head has 1-inch vertical ad-
justment. Side heads adjust vertically 2 inches and the top and bottom
heads have 1-inch lateral adjustment. The sectional chip-breaker, together
with the pressure bar, adjust with the top head yoke through the range
of machine. Motor control is localized at operating stations and involves
independent switches with a reversing switch for the four-speed feed mo-
tor. Trouble with any one motor automatically cuts out all the others.
Cutter head speeds of 3600 to 6000 R.P.M. may be used. Hopper feed is
appliable.

Moulding Sanding Machines.
Builders:
The Black Bros. Co., Inc.
Duplex Moulding Sander Co.
Automatic power feed machines for sanding mouldings are built in two
types each of which has certain advantages for some kinds of work. The
revolving brush machine is best suited to the sanding of casing, base and
other similar stock which has no great amount of sharp, well defined detail.
The block or pad machine is well adapted to sanding mouldings with sharp
detail, the blocks being shaped to fit the contour of the mould to be sanded
and having a reciprocating motion which closely approximates a hand operated
block.
The Black Bros. “Pioneer” machine is of the brush type and is built
in two sizes, the larger of which, No. 1, will feed stock up to a maximum width
of 12" and sand 8" wide without reversing. The No. 2" will feed 10" stock and
sand up to 6" wide without reversing. This machine is built on a cast frame
which carries on its front face a vertically adjustable table about six to seven
feet long. Located at the infeed end of this table are a pair of gear driven
rubber faced feed rolls and at the outfeed end are idle rolls. Mounted on
horizontal belt driven shafts, located over the table, one at each end just
inside the feed rolls are two hollow discs. These discs carry on the rim jsix or
eight equally spaced brushes of heavy broom com which project at a tangent
with the rim and are faced with a strip of heavy, specially slitted, sand paper.
In the interior of the disc are a series of six or eight reels which carry spools
of the sand paper about 3 " in diameter. The paper is slit so as to form a series
of narrow strips which backed by the brushes conform to the shape of the
moulding. The outer end of the paper is not fastened and as fast as it is worn
it is pulled out and tom off to bring fresh paper into position. The rotation
of the first disc is with, and of the second one against the feed motion.
Cone pulleys give three rates of feed ranging from 30 to 40 F. P. M. This
tool is designed for polishing only and naturally will not remove any great
amount of stock or turn poorly run mouldings into good ones. Motor of
3 to 5 H. P. may be belted to the 425 R. P. M. attached countershaft. Floor
space 58"x94" and 51"x76". Weight 2000 lbs.
The Duplex machine is of the reciprocating block type and has range
to handle from quarter round up to moulding of any shape of a maximum
width of 8". Minimum length 18". The machine’s built on a cored pedestalwith elongated top which forms the bed over which the stock is fed. Bed
is fitted with removable steel strips which are grooved to fit the back of the
moulding to be sanded and serve to carry same through the machine in a
straight line. Feed is by means of rubber covered in and outfeed rolls gear
driven and fitted with two rates of feed, 18 and 25 F. P. M. While feeding
through the machine the mould is cleaned up by reciprocating wood blocks
shaped to fit the contour of the mould and covered with sand paper. The
blocks are clamped in holders which have a reciprocating motion of 13^" at
the rate of 900 strokes per minute. The blocks are nised and lowered by
pedals and are adjustable to any desired pressure. All bearings are of the
self-oiling, dustproof type. Dust is removed through a 4" suction connection
at base of pedestal. Special tools for making the formed blocks are part
of the equipment furnished with the machine. Motor of 3 H. P. may be belted
to the 18 "x4" clutch pulley which turns 300 R. P. M. Floor space 48*'x72".

This classification covers a wide range of single and double surfacers
used for general work in wood working plants of all kinds on both hard and
soft woods at medium and fast feeds. This class of machine in which the
cutter head remains in a fixed position and the bed is adjusted for thickness
is distinct from the mill type surfacers in which the bed is stationary and
the cutter head adjusts. The essential difference between the machines listed
herein and the cabinet type surfacer lies in the method of adjusting the bed.
The shop type machine contemplates a bed mounted on two or four screws
and adjusted in vertical ways while the cabinet type involves a bed mounted
on long inclines and adjusted by means of screw operated sliding wedges.
The feed on this class of machine comprises four driven rolls from 4"
to 6" diameter with the upper infeed solid, divided or of sectional type. Cutter
heads may be of the square, slotted or tapped type or of the round thin knife
type with jointing, setting and grinding attachments. Cutter heads are
usually double belted especially the top one and the power requirements
range from 10 to 50 H. P. Countershafts usually turn 900 or 1200 R. P. M.
and the motor may be coupled direct. The leading builders are also prepared
to furnish this machine with motors coupled or mounted directly on the
cylinders in which case ball bearings are usually employed. Feed works are
in some cases driven largely by roller chain and in some of the heavier machines
power hoist is fitted. Automatic belt tensioning devices and hopper feeeds
are also used to some extent.

This type of machine is built both single and double and is designed
especially for fine finishing work. It is a heavy, powerful, accurately built
tool capable of the finest work possible to produce on a rotary planing machine.
One essential of this type machine is the method of adjusting the bed which
involves long inclined wedges giving very competent support. Direct motor
drive and the free use of ball bearings are other features of the advanced
designsH
The American No. 444 single machine is built in 24", 30" and 36" widths
which plane stock to 7" thick and of a minimum length of 4". Standard
design includes two feed rate», usually 22 and 30 F. P. M. but a variable
feed drive may be fitted giving four rates with 85 F. P. M. maximum. Four
5" driven rolls, tensioned by long steel springs, and all smooth except the
fluted infeed roll are driven by a mechanism involving belt from cutter head
spindle, hardened steel roller chains and cut gears all in cast iron casings.
A sectional infeed roll composed of 2%" hardened steel sections and drivers
may be fitted. Each section of this roll carries eight tempered, tool steel
springs. Cutter head is regularly of forged steel, triangular and carries three
thick knives with option of round, thin knife heads. Journals are 2 p4'" diameter
carefully ground and lapped and mounted in side clamping boxeBwith auto-
matic oil circulation. Ball bearings involving two bearings, with steady collars
between, for each journal, may be fitted. Pulleys are of the pneumatic type
and make on to taper seats. Chipbreaker may be of the solid or sectional
type and is adjusted in grooves concentric with the cutter head. The solid
type carries flexible steel lips and the sectional type is composed of hardened
steel sections. Pressure bar which may be rigid or yielding is located close
to the cutter head and is adjusted by a handwheel at each end. Bed plates
are in three sections, independently adjustable and removable. Bed is
supported on inclines which slide on tracks cast integral with the side members
of frame and is adjusted by inclined wedges operated by two square threaded

flexibly coupled direct to the cylinder. The following specifications are common
to the entire line:
Frames are composed of heavy, cored side members planed on the bottom
and fitted with integral ways for the adjusting wedges. These side frames
are connected by heavy cross girts which make into machined, tongued and
grooved seats. Tables are heavy and well ribbed with hardened sections
opposing the cutter heads and are mounted on long inclined wedges which
are adjusted vertically by similar wedges sliding on ways at the bottom ofNo. 727, Continued
the side frames. The wedges are gibbed together to insure full contact and
the upper wedges are guided by vertical ways cast integral with the side
frames. The lower wedges are connected at ends and top by cross girts and
the horizontal adjusting screws are geared together and operated by handwheel
or by power hoist.
Feed rolls are cast on steel shafts and both the roll and journal are ground
to perfect truth on dead centers. Rolls are driven by competent cut gears
and are journaled in removable babbit lined boxes. Feed works are driven
by belt from top cutter head shaft and controlled by a lever operated binder
pulley. The upper infeed roll is of sectional type and involves fluted sections
with independent yield under tension of spiral springs acting at right angles
to steel wings forged integral with roll shaft. Driving torque is against shoulders
of the sections and does not come on the springs. Feed rates up to 125 F. P. M.
or more are fitted.
Cutter heads may be of the round, thin knife, or of the square thick
knife type, and in either case carry four knives and are made from heat treated,
tool steel forgings. Journals are long and large and are accurately finished
by grinding. The square heads are fitted with hardened steel inserted lips
under the knives. Knives in the round heads are held in slots by tapered
dogs tightened by bolts the heads of which are entirely within the slots.
Adjusting screws are spaced at intervals along the head for accurately setting
the knives.
Cutter head journals run in side clamp boxes which are pressed down by
hand for adjustment and are secured by two bolts which draw against tapered
seats and are located over the caps. Boxes are held in alignment by tongues
which make into grooves in the seats and are readily removable for rebabbitting
in a special jig which is part of the equipment. The ball bearings, optional on
some of the machines, are of the deep groove type, with balls 1TV" diameter,
especially designed for high speed. Two of these bearings are spaced 8" apart
on each end of the cutter head.
The standard chipbreaker is fitted with a flexible steel shoe and swings
concentric with the cutter head regard’ess of the amount of cut. The shoe
is removable and may be used on both edges. The sectional chipbreaker
used with the sectional roll is composed of narrow steel sections each fitted
with independent spring tensioned yield. Pressure bar back of the cut is made
from steel, machined to an arc slightly larger than the cutting circle'^end
mounted concentrically with the cutter head. It is spring tensioned and is
adjustable by handwheels at each end. The throat between chipbreaker and
pressure bar is very small and 3" pieces can be planed without clipping the
ends.
All gears are accurately cut and pinions are of steel. Gears, studs and
shafts are fitted with grease cup lubrication. Motor driven grinder of the
cup wheel type is operated by a double thread screw and handwheel on a slide
bar mounted on cutter head boxes. Jointing and setting devices are used

The machines listed under this head are specicl, heavy, fast feed tools
designed for intensive production work in various lines and are usually fitted
with hopper feed.
The Yates No. 185 machine was designed primarily as a box shook surfacer
but is equally well adapted to any kind of surfacing of a similar nature. It
is built in one size, 30"x8" and approaches the design of the mill type surfaccrs
in the fact that the bed is stationary and the top head adjusts for thickness.
Unlike the mill type machines however the top rolls are mounted in a housing
common to them and the cylinder, and adjust therewith. The design comprises
a cored, one-piece base upon which the lower cutter head, rolls and stationary
tables are mounted. A heavy housing which carries the top cutter head and
feed rolls is mounted on four steel posts extending upward from the base
casting. The feed works comprise four 12" diameter rolls driven by rol’er
chains without the use of gears outside the variable feed transmission. The
top infeed roll is of the fluted, sectional type and all other rolls, which are
tensioned by coil springs with a yield of one inch, are smooth. Chipbreaker
is also sectional and yields to a maximum of one inch. Feed rates of 50, 75
and 100 F. P. M. are available through a gear transmission. Cutter heads
are of the round, thin knife type and the journals, 2 H"xl0"„ run in self-oiling
bearings of babbit. Jointing, setting and grinding devices are provided.
Both heads are double belted the lower head belts being friction driven and
all belts fitted with automata gravity tighteners. Countershaft is mounted
on independent base at infeed end of machine. All sprockets, chains and
gears are inclosed in cast iron casings. The top head cuts first, directly over
the sol'd infeed bed and is closely followed by the bottom head. The bottom
head, platen after the cut and the lower oufeed rolls are simultaneously

Planing Machines, Trunk Slat Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance Triple Trunk Slat Planer No. 90 is essentially the same
as the Hoop Planer of the same builders but is differently tooled■ This is
strictly a single purpose, non-adjustable machine and is used for dressing one
side and two edges of trunk slats which are fed three at a time giving an output
of approximately 4000 slats per hour.
The machine is built on a cored base from each end of which a housing
rises. These housings carry the bearings for the cutter head spindle as well
as for the two top and two bottom feed rolls. Table which is located below
the cutter head is non-adjustably bolted to the housing at each end. The
cutter head spindle is fitted with a removable end bearing for changing cutter
heads. Heads are three in number and are each fitted with two milled knives
which cut the top and two edges of the slat.
A third housing at the extreme right of base carries an outboard bearing
for the cutter head spindle outside the driving pulley. The four feed roll
shafts are driven by cut gearing and each shaft is fitted with three independent
rolls so that each slat is fed by four driven rolls. Over each cutter head is
located a bonnet with hardened, tool steel lip which rides the stock, very close
to the cut, and forms a competent chipbreaker. Bonnets and feed rolls may
be swung back for access to the cutter heads. A tracking stand for setting
knives in the heads is part of the equipment. Motor of 5 to 7 y2 H. P. may be
belted direct to the cutter head spindle. Floor space 40"x50". Net weight

sectional. The endless bed driving mechanism is belted from the cutter head
shaft and involves compound gears driving the bed from each side. Bed
travels on steel plated ways 30" long which are bolted to the main bed and
are supported at three points. Front and rear tables are adjustable and carry
two rolls. Idle press rolls are fitted at infeed and outfeed ends, the former
composed of independently tensioned sections mounted on oilless graphite
bushings. Outfeed roll is spring tensioned and is fitted with a scraper. Bed
is adjustable by power hoist with handwheel for close setting. Floor space

Planing Machines, Automatic, Timber Sizing Type.
Builders:
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
The Yates No. P-1 Automatic Sizer is designed for sizing bill stock of
random widths as it comes from the mill without preliminary sorting. The
rr.aeh'ne is so nearly automatic that one operator at one station controls all
its functions.
The machine is built on the Yates standard one-piece cored basa and
has range to work stock from %" to 7 W' thick and from 3 %" to 19 y/ wide.
The cutter head equipment depends on the service required. If stock is to be
run S1S1E only the left side and top heads are fitted. If the stock is to be
S2S1E a bottom head is added and if stock S2S2E is required a right side
head is also fitted. The four side machine may also be fitted for ship lap.
The right side head may be instantly lowered below the bed line if desired.
The feed works comprise an automatic feeding table of special type,
a live, fluted, 6" roll, a series of automatic guides and four 12" rolls in the
machine proper.
The feeding table is built upon an iron frame and carries five screw rolls
driven by roller chain working on large sprockets. These screw rolls deliver
the stock against the lever operated guide on the right side of table. At the
outfeed end of table an idle roll is carried by a vertical stud mounted on end
of the guide. Working opposite this idle roll is a fluted driven roll mounted
on a vertical shaft and fitted with wide latitude, spring tension.
The positioning of the top rolls and sectional guides is by means of levers
at the operator’s station. All quick adjustments throughout the machine
are by levers centered at the operating station. All moving parts are counter-
balanced to insure ease of operation.
The system of guides comprises the long, lever operated guide on feeding
table, a series of automatic guides in front of infeed roll and a similar series
behind the roll together with a guide from left side head to outfeed roll. The
long guide on the feeding table may, by the action of the lever, be instantly
set to register with any of the series of automatic guides at the infeed roll.
These automatic guides before and after the top infeed roll are adjustable
simultaneously with the roll by lever. These guides are set 1" below the roll
line and engage the top side and right hand edge of the stock.
In operation the random width stock drops on the feed table and is
immediately shifted sideways against the long guide by the action of the
screw rolls. The operator shifts the long guide to register with the proper
automatic guide in the machine and the stock is fed into the rolls with the
right hand edge in contact with the correct guide which is at such distance
from the left side head that the stock is sized to standard width. The automatic
guides which are not in use are raised out of the way by the stock and are
automatically dropped back into place as the stock clears them. Therefore,
a four-inch piece would be entered against the first guide and sized to 3 %"
by the left side head. A six-inch piece would be entered against the second
guide, lifting the first one, and be sized to 5 V2". An eight-inch piece would
be in contact with the third guide, lifting the first and second, and be sized
to 7 y/ and so on. The left hand side head may be instantly set by eighths
for different finished standards by lever at operating station. The top head
rolls and guides are counter-balanced and are instantly adjusted to any standard
thickness by lever.
Top and bottom cutter heads are of the six-knife round type and jointing
and grinding devices are fitted. All cutter head belts are provided with slack
side gravity binders. Two rates of feed as ordered are fitted and either is
instantly available by lever at operating station.No. 738.

This type of machine is used for planing heavy timbers out of wind,
it is used in shipyards, car shops, bridge building and similar work. The
principle involved is a traveling table, the length of the longest stock to be
dressed, which is reciprocated back and forth under the revolving cutter head
by suitable gearing. The cutter head is fitted with pressure rolls and cuts
both ways of the carriage travel. The stock is dogged upon the level surface
of the table which is traversed in planed ways twice the table length. The
machine resembles the old Daniels type of planing machine, now obsolete,
in the method of mounting and feeding the stock. In this modern machine
the Daniels cutter head which was mounted on a vertical spindle and cut
across the surface of the timber is replaced by the standard type of cutter
head as used in all planing machines.
The Fay-Egan No. 32 Iron Frame Dimension Planer is built in two
widths, 24 " and 30 " to work to 24 " thick and in lengths from 10 to 60 feet. The
machine is built upon a heavy iron frame with housings in the center upon

The Power No. A-4 machine is built in one size, 30"x24" and in lengths
ranging from 16 to 60 feet. The machine is composed of a central frame
with cored uprights upon which the cutter head yoke is adjusted. Attached
to either side of this central section are the cast iron extensions upon which
the carriage travels.
Cutter head of three or four side, slotted type is a high carbon steel forging
and is double belted and adjusts by hand or power upon ways inclined at the
correct angle to maintain belt tension. Pressure rolls are mounted on the
yoke at each side of the cutter head. Lever controlled friction feed drives
the carriage at 20, 40 and 60 F. P. M.
Carriage comprises a steel frame covered with hard wood and is designed
with wood top so that it may be planed off as required to keep it true with
cutter head. Competent dogging devices are fitted. Motor of 15 to 50 H. P.,
900 R. P. M. may be coupled to countershaft. Floor space 120" wide by
twice the carriage length. Weight of 20 foot machine 16,000 lbs.

This class machine is built in two types, one with long bed and attached
countershaft after the design cf the mill type matcher, the other with short
bed and detached countershaft. It is used for surfacing, single or double
dressing, matching, dressing four sides, moulding, etc. in wood working plants
generally, where the heavier mill type machine is not indicated. The basic
difference between the shop and mill types is that in the former the top cutter
head is mounted in a fixed position and the bed which carries the side and
bottom, if one is fitted, heads is adjusted for thickness while in the mill type
the bed is stationary and the top cutter head yoke and rolls are adjusted for
the thickness required.
Some machines of this class are heavy, well built tools with plenty of
metal, cut gear or roller chain driven feed works and other features of a high
grade machine, while others are suited for very light work only. The feed as
usually built comprises four rolls, all driven or in some cases with the top rolls
only, driven and the bed rolls idle. Feed rates range from 15 to 75 F. P. M.
and average about 35 F. P. M. The side heads are fitted to drop below the bed
so that the full width of knives is available for surfacing. The usual matching
width is approximately 12 " less than the width of the knives except in machines
like the Luther which is fitted with gear driven side heads which open to the
full width of machine. The Luther machine is a well built tool designed
especially for box work.
The cutter head equipment is usually of the slotted four side type with
plain or Shimer type side heads. Provision is made in the top chipbreaker
to swing moulding knives with a moderate projection. The usual countershaft
speed is 900 and motor of 10 to 25 H. P. may be coupled.
In the following schedule the size machine given is the maximum surfacing
size. Matching or four side dressing size will be about 12" less in width and
2" to 4" less in thickness. Most machines are built either with or without
bottom cylinder and the weight table indicates the type in this respect.

Planer and Matcher Feeding Tables.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
S. A. Woods Machine Co.
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
The feeding table is a necessary adjunct of the modem fast feed planing
and matching machine and without it the full capacity of the planing and
matching machine cannot be attained. It is important in feeding this class
of machines, both as regards the quality and amount of work produced, that
the stock be butted endwise so that there will be no stoppage in the machine.
When it is considered that a machine feeding 300 F. P. M. will require over
twenty boards of average length per minute it is apparent that some mechanical
help for the feeder is indicated.
The Feeding Table involves essentially a wood or iron frame work twelve
to twenty feet long and somewhat wider than the bed of the machine it is to
serve. This table is fitted with a series of driven rolls located in a position
parallel with the planer feed rolls. These rolls are usually spirally grooved
and carry the stock to the guide side of the table where a fence, located on the
line of the planer guide, is mounted. At the end of the table adjustable end
stops are located and may be adjusted so that but one board at a time may
enter the planer rolls. Some form of cone shaped live top roll is fitted to the
feed table for the purpose of entering the boards into the planer rolls. One
of the prime requisites of any feeding table is that the rim speed of the rolls
be somewhat greater than the speed of the feed rolls on the machine it is
to serve, so that the stock will be butted end to end. The feeding table is
usually driven from the feed works of the matcher so that the speed is readily
synchronized. In operation the stock is thrown at random on to the feeding
table the only requirement being that it be lengthwise of the table. The
spirally grooved rolls carry the boards over against the fence and as fast as
one board has left the fence and entered the feed rolls it is replaced by one
of the others on the table.

holes in shipyard, car shop, furniture and chair work, etc.
The Fay-Egan No. 194 machine is the bench typo and comprises a yoke
in which is mounted horizontally a hollow arbor fitted with a barrel type saw.
In operation the stock, cut into squares with the grain running transversely,
is fed through a rest at the mouth of the saw and is cut into rounds which
pass out the rear end of arbor. This tool has range for plugs %" to ly2"
in diameter and of any length. May be driven by a motor of 3 to 5 H. P.
mounted overhead and belted direct to arbor.
The Woods No. 215 machine for this work is of the automatic type and
has capacity to produce 81 to 30 plugs per minute, with or without chamfered
ends. This machine is built on a lathe type bed which carries two horizontal,
belt driven, opposed, spindles one of which carries a hollow saw for cutting
plug and the other one being fitted with tools for chamfering the end.Between these spindles is located a hopper in which the blanks, which are
in the shape of a square iV" wider than the diameter of the plug and of a
thickness equalling the length of the plug, with the grain running longitudinally,
are mounted on end. The two spindles are operated by a cam mechanism
below the bed and cut one plug after another from the end of this blank.
This machine is built in two sizes the smaller haying range for plugs K" to
1 y2" in diameter and of any length up to 1%" and the larger with range for

Railway Tie Fitting Machines.
Builders:
Greenlee Bros. & Co.
The set of machines developed by the above company for use in fitting
ties comprises an adzing machine, a boring machine, a double cut-off saw and
a branding machine all of which are automatic in operation. The purpose of
the machining operations is briefly as follows: the adzing to insure perfect
rail bearing, the boring to insure the penetration of the chemical preservative
at a vital point, provide ,correct gauge and perfect spike support, the trimming
for appearance, penetration of preservative and inspection. The machining
of ties, or as they are called there sleepers, is much more generally practiced
in England than in this country and several leading English builders, among
them Thos. Robinson & Son of Rochdale, England, build machines for the
work.
In the installation of the machines, two systems are in use. One contem-
plates the installation at a fixed location and the other involves the mounting
of the machines and their source of power on a flat car which is moved from
place to place. The stationary type of installation has a somewhat greater
output but this is offset by the increased cost of handling the ties to and from
the stationary plant
Although any of the. units may be installed and operated independently
they are in the main installed as a complete process. Infeed conveyors deliver
the ties to the first machine in the cycle of operations which is the trimmer.
From the trimmer they pass automatically to the adzer and from there at
accelerated speed to the borer where they dwell, are centered, clamped and
bored and pass on to the brander located in the rear of the borer. Outfeed
conveyors receive and deliver the finished ties to trams.
The machine foundation; comprises a heavy timber platform over a pit
about five feet deep. The shavings exhaust pipes and the waste ends conveyor
are located in this pit and the machines and countershafts together with the
motive power are mounted on the timber platform. The control levers for all
the machines are grouped at one point where a raised platform is erected for
the operator. To operate a tie machining plant a crew of eight men is requir-
ed and the capacity is 6 to 7 ties per minute or 2500 to 3000 per day.
The first machine in line is the double trimmer which cuts about one-half
inch off each end of the tie. The design of this machine comprises a heavy
cast iron base upon which are mounted housings that carry the saw arbors
and feeding mechanism. The housings are gibbed to the base and are movable
longitudinally upon it by means of large screws and back geared handwheels.
Each housing carries an independently driven saw arbor. Feed comprises two
endless chains driven through speed i educing gearing from the main
countershaft. Removal of refuse is accomplished by a shavings exhaust fan
piped to the dust chutes beneath the saws and by a block conveyor which
removes the waste ends. This is a chain type conveyor and is located below
the base where it receives the end cuttings from hoppers outside the saws.
The second machine, the borer, is usually employed in combination with
the trim saw and adzer but in some cases, especially where sawed ties are
used the borer alone is employed. The conveyor feed on this machme is byNo. 778, Continued
means of a set of hinged and counter-weighted dogs reciprocated by a cam and
lever movement and driven through worm and spur gearing. On the backward
stroke the dogs pass under the ties, rise behind them, and carry them ahead on
the forward stroke. This intermittent motion provides time for the boring to
take place upon the tie which is in the clamps. The borer like the trim saw is
built on a heavy cast base and fitted with adjustable housings and boring bits
which work from below. A centering end clsmping device holds tbe ties while
they are being bored and automatically locates the holes so that the plate
will rest in the center of the available timber. This device comprises a pair
of cam operated spring hinged centering and clamping jaws carried by overhead
supports and operated synchronously with the bit spindle feed works. The
centering jaws are assisted in their work by four sets of graduated hold-downs
which prevent the tie from raising. The bit spindles are located in two groups
of two, three or four spindles each with adjustment between the groups for
gauge and between the spindles of each groups for different rail bases and tie
plate punching. To insure accurate boring, templates with hardened bushings
are employed for guiding the bits.
The automatic adzing machine produces perfect plane surfaces at the
points where the rails or tie plates will rest. The heavy cast bed plate of this
machine carries two housings, one fixed and one adjustable thereon. Each
housing carries an independent arbor fitted wnth a shear cutting expansion
adzing head 11" in diameter and cutting up to 14" wide. The cutter heads
are surrounded by shaving hoods arranged for connection to the exhaust
system. Above each cutter head is located a weighted hold-dowm shoe having
its fall cushioned by an air cylinder. The feed is by endless dogged chains
driven by gears from the main shaft. A self-adjusting equalizing device
which automatically raises one or both ends of the ways on which the ties
travel over the cutter heads so functions that the depth of cut is equally divided
between the two ends regardless of crooks in the tie.
The operation of the brander is automatic vrith hand control. After
the tie is released from the clamps, the boring operation having been completed,
it moves forward until it strikes a trip, which operates supply valves and allows
compressed air to enter the valve chests of the brander. The cylinder valves
are operated by a cam motion from the feeding mechanism of the boring
machine and arc timed to open w7hen the tie has arrived between the dies
which do the branding. The dies advance simultaneously and both ends
of the tie are branded and the dies withdrawn. The feed then discharges
tie from the machine. In order to miss branding ties wnth “S” irons in the
end a control lever is fitted by means of which the air is cut off and the cylinders
made to miss the stroke as the ironed ties pass the dies.
The ties pass all machines face down and all operations are performed
from below. Provision is made so that the regular run of ties, large and small,
straight and crooked, pass through as they come and are automatically
machined regardless of irregularity of size and form. To operate the entire
plant approximately 100 H. P. is required.No. 779.

which actuates the boring spindle carriage and compressing ram is located
in the base of the machine. Power feed for the boring spindle carriage is clutch
operated and pedal controlled and makes one stroke and returns to starting
point where it remains until pedal is again depressed.
Synchronized with the motion of the boring spindle is the compressing
ram, which operates in vertical ways on the front of the table knee. This
ram is operated by a gear driven cam mechanism and as the bit starts forward
the ram descends and compresses the woods, maintaining the pressure until
the bit clears, on the back stroke. A fixture on the table spaces the holesaccurately. Mounted on the boring bit is a cutter which faces-off a circular

Rim Rounding Machines.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Kane & Roach.
These machines are used for rounding the inner circle of carriage and
wagon rims which operation is performed after the rim has been bored for
spokes so that the portion of the rim adjacent to the holes may be left square.
The same type machine is also used for a large variety of rounding, cornering
and chamfering in carriage, wagon and implement work.
A typical machine of the class designed for rim rounding is built on a
cored pedestal with horizontal arbor at the top and countershaft in the base.
The arbor carries, between bearings, two cutter heads each fitted with capped
shear cutting knives shaped to the required semi-circle. These heads which
carry six knives each are adjustable on the arbor to receive stock of any required
size. Between them is located a stationary rest of circular form which governs
the depth of cut. Upon the periphery of this rest is a gauge pin which enters
the spoke holes and regulates the distance of the rounding cut from the hole.
Surrounding the two cutter heads are stationary guides which center the rim
between the heads one of which rounds each comer. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P.
may be belted to arbor which should make 4500 to 5000 R. P. M. Floor space
22"x40". Net weight 800 Tbs.
A machine of the class designed for general work may be fitted with a
series of heads up to four or more with cutters of assorted shapes so that no
change is necessary in running several kinds of stock. One end of the arbor
is often fitted with a jointing head about 6" long and regular adjustable tables
and fence. The opposite end may be fitted with a boring attachment. For
chamfering square or oblong stock the circular guides would have a surface
standing at 45 degrees with the arbor so that the two guides would form a
“V” shaped rest for the corner of the stock.No. 786.

mitted.
This device is a smooth working mechanism which operates at. 93%
efficiency, is noisless, gearless, self-contained and does not throw oil or require
attention of any kind- beyond refilling with oil monthly. The motion is positive
and without variation of angular velocity. An oil-tight easing which for proper’
lubrication must be mounted overhead contains all the working parts. From
this casing two sleeves at right angles to each other protrude and carry the
driving and the driven pulleys. Within each sleeve is a shaft keyed to the sleeve
and fitted on its inner end with a single throw crank. Each of the cranks
carries a ball and socket mounted pin. The pin on the driving crank actuates
a bell crank which slides up and down on a vertical guide rod in the center
of the casing. The other arm of this bell crank is connected to the ball and
socket crank pin on the driven shaft which is thus> actuated: in- unison with,
the driving shaft. The bearings of the sleeves are within the pulleys so that
outboard bearings are not required. The sleeves may be fitted for direct
connection and with various special pulleys.

The circular resawing machine has been superseded to a large extent
by the band resaw but is still used! to'some extent in planing mills for resawing
bevel siding, ceiling and other stock of similar nature. The planing mill type
machine consists essentially of a heavy horizontal arbor mounted in a cast frame
and fitted with a taper ground saw 24 "to 32 " diameter. Feed comprises four infeed
rolls about 6" in diameter. A competent steel splitter is mounted behind the
saw. The roll housing is fitted to tilt for bevel sawing. Jointing attachments
may be fitted at the rear of the saw for jointing one or both edges of the stock
as it is resawed. These attachments comprise four or six-knife cutter heads
mounted on horizontal arbors and driven from an independent countershaft.
The usual range with a 24" saw is for stock 8" to 9" wide. Sawrs up to about
32" diameter are solid, taper ground tool», about 18 gauge at the rim.
Another class of circular resaw is designed for general work and embodies
the same general features as the machines just described but is built in sizes
to carry saws up to 50" or more in diameter. These saws are of the segmentNo. 789, Continued
type which involves a tapered steel collar 14" to 34" in diameter fitted with
twelve segment shaped saws, usually bolted on with counter sunk bolts. The
segments are about 12" deep, in other words a 60" segment saw would have
a 36" hole. This construction makes a very thin, stiff, saw of large diameter,
easily kept in order, The steel collar is thin enough to readily pass into the
saw kerf.
Feed rates on either type of circular resaw range from 40 to 100 F. P. M.
Motors of 15 to 35 H. P. may be lelted direct to arbor pulley. Weights range
from 1600 lbs. to 4300 lbs. Floor space of an average 24"x32" machine 54"x66".

Rip Sawing Machines, Circular, Power Feed, Automatic Return.
Builders:
Woods Engineering Co.
The Hick Automatic Return Rip Saw built by the above company is
used for the lighter grades of ripping in short lengths and is a well built, ac-
curate tool designed for use by one operator, without helper.
The machine is built on a cored, box type base with cast iron table 28"x42".
Ripping gauge operates on track at front edge of table. Arbor is mounted
below the table, which is vertically adjustable by screw and handwheel, and
carries the saw outside the frame. In a housing over the table are the in and
outfeed rolls which are located very close to the saw. These rolls are in two
sections, the inner section or that to the right of saw being fitted with a spur
feeding wheel and revolving in a direction to feed the stock to the saw. The
outer section of roll, on the left of saw revolves in the reverse direction and
returns the board to the operator as soon as the part next the gauge is cut
free. The opposite rotation of the rolls is obtained by a hollow shaft within
which a concentric shaft revolves in the reverse direction.
Feed rolls are driven by chain fron a cut gear, lever controlled trans-
mission in base of machine. Feed rates of 60, 90, 180, F. P. M. are under con-
trol of one lever. The return feed is constant at 180 F. P. M. Arbor is driven
by a 6" belt from the rear and turns 3000 R. P. M. Motor of 5 H. P. any speed
may be belted direct to the arbor. Saws from 6" to 12" diameter may be used

This type rip saw is especially well adapted to ripping and edging crooked,
rough and wane edge stock,piecing up stock for gluing and to general ripping
where accuracy is required. It makes a smooth, true cut and when fitted
with the proper saw will make glue joints for core stock and for some face
work, direct from the saw
The general design of this machine which has come into use in the last
few years contemplates a heavy cored base of box type which carries a large
cast iron table through which a feed chain, composed of corrugated cast iron
blocks, runs, with its face flush with or slightly above the table surface. This
chain is grooved through its center for the reception of the lower periphery
of the saw, and runs in accurately fitted ways in exact truth with the saw
mounted on a heavy arbor carried by a large cored overhanging arm which
is usually mounted in vertical ways on the side of the main base. Pressure
rolls which may be idle or driven are mounted on the infeed and outfeed ends,
close to the saw and directly over the chain. As built by the above makers
this is a heavy, accurately constructed tool capable of a large production
of high class work and unlike the ordinary rip saw it is not at all a dangerous
machine to operate.
The American No. 40 machine is built on a well designed cored base of
box type which carries in vertical gibbed ways the cored housing upon which
the arbor and feed rolls are mounted. Arbor is 2" diameter and is mounted
in three competent self-oiling babbit bearings. The infeed pressure roll is ofNo. 799, Continued
larger diameter than the other rolls, which are idle, and is driven by a universal
jointed shaft actuated by an inclosed roller chain drive. Both the infeed and
outfeed rolls and saw are covered by one common, cast iron hood which is
fitted with flange for connection to exhaust system. Rolls are adjusted by
a ball bearing screw and handwheel, as is the arbor, and a graduated scale
indicates setting of the rolls. A sight is provided on the hood over the saw
to assist in starting the stock through the mach'ne in proper relation to the
saw. A jointing device for the saw is very effectual in fitting the tool for smooth
work. The chain travels in an independent steel lined way provided with
lateral adjustment for aligning with the saw and with vert:cal adjustment
by handwheel at operating station. Feed works are driven by binder controlled
belt from the arbor and are fitted with feeds of 60, 120, 160 F. P. M. under
control of one lever. The machine is guarded in a very competent manner,
all moving parts so far as possible being cased-in and a kick-back guard, in-
volving a series of hinged fingers, being fitted at infeed end., \ The saw groove
in the chain at the infeed end is also fitted with a stationary steel strip.
This machine may be driven by belt from countershaft or motor or an
alternating motor of 10 H. P., 3400-3600 R. P. M. may be mounted in
place of the outboard arbor bearing and coupled direct to arbor. When this
drive is fitted an independent multi-speed motor is used to drive the feed
works.
The Defiance No. 614 machine is built on a cored one-piece base which
carries a two part table 40"x56" in size. The section of the table at the left
of saw which is 24 " wide is adjustable to take up side wear of the chain. The
ripping gauge adjusts on a track at edge of table and a brass inset scale shows
its position to a maximum of 16" to the right or 24" to the left of saw. Arbor
which is ItI" diameter is mounted in two self-oiling babbitted bearings carried
on a heavy housing with vertical adjustment through a 4 " range. Saw collars
are 8" diameter as standard and carry saws 10" to 14" diameter the latter
saw cutting 2 stock. Five-inch collars may be used and stock 4" thick
worked. The pressure rolls are mounted in pivoted equalizing frames, each
frame carrying at the outer end a 7 %" diameter by 5" face driven roll and on
its inner end a pair of 3 idle rolls, one on each side of and close to the saw.
All rolls are mounted on bronze bushings, fitted with spring tension and adjust
independently 1". The large round shanks which cany the roll frames on
their lower ends are adjusted simultaneously both vertically and horizontally,
to or from each other, by handwheels. The vertical adjustment is through
a 4" range. Rolls are guarded by cast iron hoods and a competent cast hood
with 4" exhaust flange covers the saw. The feed chain comprises 32 self-oiling
links 5 K" wide milled on the top with a %" saw groove and on the bottom
to form rack teeth which mesh with the spur type sprockets which are same
face as the chain. Feed rates ranging from 50 to 150 F. P. M. are available
through a gear transmission involving seven hammered, cut steel sliding
gears. Feed works are driven from arbor by a binder controlled belt. Arbor
may be driven by belt at 3000 R. P. M. from motor or an alternating motor
of 15 H. P., 3600 R. P. M., may be mounted on attached bracket and coupled
direct to arbor.

The Hermance No. 33 Over-Cutting Straight line Ripping Machine is
a brand new, ball bearing, direct motor driven tool from the shops of one of
the pioneer builders of this class machine. It has range to carry saws up to
14" diameter and rip stock of 4" maximum thickness . Will rip 20" wide on
the right and 24" on the left of saw. An auxiliary table may be fitted increasing
the range on the left to 36".
This machine is built on a massive, cored, one piece, box type base which
carries an accurately fitted, two part table 44"x56" to which an extension
may be fitted bringing the size up to 56" wide. The entire lower mechanism
of the machine is housed within the base, free from dirt, yet readily accessible
through a large door at the side.
The arbor is of special crucible steel, turned down to 1 H" diameter at
the saw and mounted in extra large, double row, self aligning, Skayef ball
bearings. Saw collar is held in position by a heavy screw which makes into
the end of arbor, when collar is removed the saw lifts straight up without
disturbing rolls. The arbor is carried in a heavy housing mounted in gibbed
ways on the side of the base and adjusted vertically, independent of the feed
roll housings, by large handwheel.
Rising from the right side of base is a massive housing of gooseneck type
which carries in adjustable vertical ways the large square shanks of the feed
roll yokes. These yokes terminate at the botton in a “Y” and carry by each
end, the shaft on which the equalizing feed roll housings are pivoted. The
front and rear rolls are 7" diameter, grooved to prevent twisting of short s tock
and are covered by cast iron hoods. The infeed roll is driven by a universal
jointed shaft. Intermediate rolls adjacent to the saw are 4" diameter andlike all other feed rolls are mounted on bronze bushings and fitted with brass
oil cups. All rolls are independently spring tensioned and the front and rear
rolls are fitted with independent or simultaneous vertical adjustment with
pointer and scale to indicate setting.
Feed chain is composed of cast iron blocks 6 34" wide, serrated in both
directions and fitted with drill rod hinge pins of ample size. The entire width
of the chain blocks on the under side is milled to fit accurately cut, toothed
sprockets. The chain is well lubricated and runs over a steel wearing plate
in the table. Side wear is taken up by lateral adjustment of the two sections
of table. Feed works drive, involving a sliding gear transmission with wide
faced, heavy pitch, gears running in oil, is actuated by lever and tightener
controlled belt from the saw arbor. The transmission provides feed rates of
80, 110, 170 F. P. M. any of which is instantly available by operation of a
convenient lever.
Saw dust is removed through the hollow yoke of the infeed roll which is
fitted with exhaust connection at the top. The ripping gauge adjusts on a
graduated rail at front edge of table. Guards are built into this machine to
an unusual degree and embody a slip on hood over the saw, a chipbreaker in
front of saw, an adjustable splinter guard in front of infeed roll and cast iron
guards over both feed rolls and both ends of hain
The standard motor drive on this machine contemplates mounting the
rotor of a 10 H. P., 3450 R. P. M., 60 cycle, alternating current motor
directly on the arbor, incorporating the stator and motor housing in the yoke.
Motor control including starter, protective devices and emergency push button

Rip Sawing Machines, Circular, Straight Line Piecing-Up Type.
Builders:
P. B. Yates Machine Co.
For use in piecing up large gluod-up stock such as table tops and other
large pieces the standard Yates No. G-2 machine is built with a special attach-
ment which involves a metal slatted table operating on a two-rail track mounted
on brackets at the side of saw table. The top of the slatted table is slightly
above the line of the saw table and is fitted at the operator’s end with an
adjustable fence which may be clamped in position and is also fitted with a
handwheel operated median’sm for a rapid lateral adjustment to or from the
saw. Operating in connection with the fence is an adjustable indicating
device by means of which the fence may be instantly set to make the proper
allowance for any number of glue joints which may occur in the panel being
pieced up. In operation the slatted table is pushed along the tracks to the
outfocd end of machine and as the pieces arc ripped they are mounted on the
slatted table with ends butting against the sliding bar to which the fence is
attached. When the last piece composing the panel has come through the
table is pushed back to the operating station where the allowance indicator
is set for the required number of joints. The last piece is then placed in position
on the edge of the pieces composing the “layup” and the entire “layup”
is shoved over to the required position by moans of the quick adjustment of
the sliding fence which is stopped at the required position by the allowance
indicator stop bolt. The last piece is then sized to make the “layup” of the
proper width considering the number of joints in same. Saws are 9" to 14*
diameter and stock as short as 9" and to a maximum thickness of 4" may be
ripped. Feed rates 55, 85 and 120 F. P. M. Motor of 10 H. P., 3400 to 3600

competent cast frame with table 37"x52" and carries saws 12" in diameter
which will cut stock 2 y2" thick. Maximum distance saw to gauge is 15 y2".
The design of this tool contemplates mounting the arbor below the table
and feeding the stock by means of four sectional, interlocking, chain driven
rolls mounted in an adjustable housing over the table. These rolls are mounted
on fully adjustable shafts and are composed of a series of discs with spaces
between in wh’ch the adjacent roll overlaps. This construction gives the rolls
very close centers and holds the stock rigidly in a straight line. No feeding
chain is employed. Three feed rates, 40, 60 and 80 F. P. M. are fitted. Motor
of 10 to 15 H. P. may bo belted direct to arbor. Weight 3000 lbs.No. 803.

Routing Machines, Single, Over-Cutting, Air Driven Type.
Builders:
Onsrud Machine Works Inc.
This machine is used for all kinds of routing, grooving, shaping, panel
sinking and similar work. The design of this machine involves some new
principles as applied to wood cutting machines, the most important of which
is the direct application of a direct connected, compressed air operated, turbine
to the cutter head spindle. The vertical spindle is mounted in ball bearings
and is driven at 12,000 to 14,000 R. P. M. by the direct connected turbine.
The table is rotated by an independent electric motor and the design of the
cut is under the control of a hardwood master pattern.
The machine is built on a cored pedestal, of round section with broad
floor base, with knee on which the rotating table is mounted. This table
of cast iron, circular in shape, is rotated by its own motor and presents a
horizontal surface for the reception of the part to be cut. From the lower
side of the table a stem extends downward through the knee and carries onits lower end the master pattern. The table has range to carry work 42" or
less in diameter and table and master pattern rotate in unison. On the side
of the pedestal are two bearings, one at the base and the other at the top,
above the table, in which a heavy vertical shaft swivels. Above the tab’e
at the top of this vertical shaft, to which it is keyed, is the arm which carries
the vertical cutter head spindle with direct connected turbine. At the lower
end of the same shaft a second arm, which carries in ball bearings a vertical
guide pin, is keyed. This guide pin traces the outer edge of the slowly rotating
master pattern and, through the vertical shaft to which both arms are keyed,
causes the cutter head spindle to describe a path the exact counterpart of the
outline of the master pattern. A special adjustment is provided whereby
various sizes of rounds, squares, etc., may be cut from one pattern. The
cutter head spindle being mounted on ball bearings and driven at extremely
high speed is competent for very smooth clean work either with or against
the grain. The vertical position of the cutter is governed by a foot which travels
on the surface of the work so that any contour is readily followed by the cutter.
An automatic air lift raises the cutter from the work when the table has made
a trifle over one complete revolution. The slight over-run is made to insure
that the starting and finishing cuts lap properly.

Rubbing Machines, Universal Type.
Builders:
Curtis Machine Corporation.	St. Paul Machinery Mfg. Co.
Maddox Machine Co.
This machine is built in a belt or in a direct motor driven type and is a
non-portable tool designed for sanding, coarse rubbing, fine nibbing, rotten
stoning or polishing flat surfaces of all kinds. It is especially well adapted
to use on table and other tops of largo area.
The Curtis Model 48 machine comprises a heavy sole plate which carries
at each end a cored pedestal. Adjustable on vertical slides located on the
inner sides of the pedestals are the horizontal slide rails on which the roller
table operates. These slide rails are about 120" long and may be lowered to
take in work 34" high (on special order to 49"). The table is of wood and
operates by hand.
Running on a flexible guide bar above the table are the two carriages on
which the felt pads are mounted. These carriages are reciprocated by a variable
throw crank, a segment gear operated rocker shaft and a cable device. On
the end of the rocker shaft located above the table and in the center of machine
is a grooved sheave and at each end of the machine is located an idle sheave.
The cable runs from the rocker shaft sheave around the idle sheaves and passes
horinzontally over the table top the carriages being fastened to the cable at
any required distance apart. The rocker shaft is rotated back and forth by
the segement and pinion in connection with a rod from the variable crank
motion and reciprocates the carriages on the flexible guide bar. The length
of stroke made by the carriages is completely under the operator’s control
and may be varied without stopping the machine. An automatic device may
be fitted which governs the stroke and is used to advantage on round or oval
tops.
The action of the flexible guide bar together with an automatic pressure
device which may be set to give any desired pressure insure a uniform pressure
even on warped and crooked stock. The countershaft with tight and loose
pulleys is mounted on the left pedestal and drives the stroke operating shaft
located on the same pedestal near the floor by belt from a three-step cone.
Capacity is to rub and polish sixty 48" tops per ten hour day. A direct motor
drive with 2 to 3 H. P. motor and speed controller may be fitted. The counter-
shaft makes 100 R. P. M. The six foot machine takes floor space 120"xl20".
Net weight 3100 lbs. The eight foot machine requires 120"xl44" floor space
and has net we ight of 3300 lbs.The Maddox machine embodies essentially thfc same features as the Curtis

The frame is composed of two end frames connected back and front by cast
longitudinal girts. The main rocker shaft is located horizontally below the
table and is driven by a segment shaped crank and light weight pitman from
an adjustable throw disc crank. An auxiliary rocker shaft at each end at
about the level of the table is operated synchronously with the main shaft
by leather belts running on the segment shaped crank. These auxiliary rocker
shafts are each fitted with a sheave which operates the cable to which the
rubbing block carriages are attached. The table lowers to take in stock 10 ¥/
thick. Countershaft with tight and loose pulleys is mounted on opposite
end of machine from crank shaft which is bolted from the countershaft which
makes 170 to 180 R. P. M. The No. 4 or six foot machine has table 40,/x76".

Manilla rope drives form a safe, efficient and noiseless method of power
transmission and in medium and large capacities are less in initial cost than
a corresponding belt drive. Rope drives to operate successfully require export
design otherwise the result is sure to be disappointing. Two systems, the
English and the American are in use, the former being, however, very7 little used.
The English system involves the use of independent ropes in each groove
of the sheaves. These ropes must be individually spliced and the tension
must be equalized so far as possible. Owing to the tendency to jump and
flop under varying loads the ropes in this system must be larger than in the
American system. As there is a very direct relation between the diameter
of rope and diameter of sheave this necessitates larger sheaves. The travel
of the ropes must be in a horizontal plane or nearly so.
The American system embodies one continuous rope which is wound
around all the grooves in the sheaves and is led from the last groove in the
driving sheave to a single groove sheave mounted in a traveling tension carriage.
The slack of the entire system is taken up by the one tension carriage mounted
on a track, with the necessary range of travel, and fitted with a weighted
tension. This system is well adapted to driving one or several shafts located
parallel with each other or at any angle as the rope may bo easily led as required
by the use of guide sheaves.
Large diameter sheaves, preferably forty times the rope diameter and
never less than thirty rope diameters are necessary for good results as re-
gards rope life. The ideal speed for ropes is 5000 F. P. M. The power curve
especially in the case of the larger ropes increases very rapidly with the speed
up to 5000 F. P. M. and after that speed is past it drops back just as rapidly.
The power curve of the smaller ropes is much less pronounced. The following
table gives the power transmitted by one rope and is to be multiplied by the
number of grooves in the sheave:Diameter of Rope	Speed	Power Transmitted
x”	5000 F. P. M.	7 H. P.

Roller Chain Drives.

Hans Renold, Inc.
This type drive is used on wood working machines for various feed and
other short center drives in which it replaces leather belting and gears. The
advantages of the chain drive lie in the fact that there is no initial tension
on the chain so that practically all the power is available with no loss from
overloaded bearing friction, belt slippage, etc. Hot bearings, excessive
lubrication and rapid belt deterioration are avoided. The chain drive gives
positive motion, can be installed in about one quarter the lateral space required
for a belt drive and will have a life three to five times that of the best leather
belt. It is not affected by damp, wet or steamy conditions which are very
destructive to belting.
Roller chain is also being used to an increasing extent as replacement
for detachable malleable chain and cast tooth sprockets. The roller cha;n
is much smaller, lighter and smoother running than the malleable and will
far outwear the latter even at greatly increased speeds and loads. The roller
chain is perfectly competent for drives up to about 150 H. P. and for speeds up
to 4000 F. P. M. The larger drives are often incased and run in oil with very
good results. Under good conditions drives of this type have an efficiency of
94%. Many of the leading machine buffders are now incorporating chain
drives in the;r designs in place of gear trains or leather belts.
Good practice in cham drive design involves large sprockets, high chain
speed, low pull and short pitch chains. The ratio of the sprockets for the
smaller sizes of chain should not be greater than 1:8 and for X" pitch or over
not more than 1:5. Eight or nine tooth sprockets are very hard on the chain,
ten or eleven teeth give fair results but like the twelve or thirteen tooth sprockets
are satisfactory only under very favorable conditions. Sprockets of 16 teeth
or more are the smallest than can be depended on for good results under all
conditions. The best design involves odd or hunting teeth in one or both
sprockets the included number of teeth making preferable a prime number.
This design makes for uniform wear of both chain and sprockets. The center
distance should not be less than one and one-half the diameter of the larger
sprocket and not over ten or twelve feet* The chain should be run, if possible,
with both tangents in the same vertical plane and with the slack side on the
bottom. For good results the tension of the chain must be very accurately
adjusted therefore adjustable centers or some form of idle take-up sprocket
are indicated. Sprockets may be fitted with various types of spring, shear pinor friction hubs. Roller chains are made in a wide range of sizes up to about
1 Y\" wide with rollers lys" diameter on rivets over y," diameter and are usually-
composed of hardened steel parts with nickel steel rivets. Pitches range from
Vi” to 2".
The rivets of a chain act as auxiliary shafts and operate under friction
tho same as the shaft which it drives. Therefore the use of wide chains with
increased rivet wearing surface is good practice. In operating each rivet turns
in its bushing 1-Nth. of a revolution (“N” being number of sprocket teeth),
therefore tho greater the number of teeth in tho sprocket tho less tho angular
motion between tho rivet and bushing. In the average chain drive the rivet
bearing pressure is often forty times that usually allowed in machine bearings.
It is of course apparent that the duration of friction must bo short. The number
of sprocket teeth, within reasonable limits should, to meet the above conditions,
be as great as possible. A large number of teeth reduce noise, energy lost in
friction and lateral vibration* destructive action of chain on sprocket and
increase the durability of the chain. Lineal speed of chain is secondary in
importance to size and speed of sprockets. Peripheral speed while it exerts
an added strain on the chain by reason of tho centrifugal force is of loss im-
portance than tho resulting decrease in angular motion of the rivet and bushing.
Tensile strength is important and should be high in proportion to the
permissible dimensions. Tho safe working load is however of greater importance.
This load varies with the steadiness of load, speed of small or driving sprocket,
size of sprockets and condition of operation, whether dry or lubricated, clean
or dirty. The safe working load should befroml/lOto 1/40 of tho tensile strength.
This high factor of safety is economical because of the greater rivet wearing
surface afforded by the larger chain which is especially desirable at low speeds
where tho duration of rivet friction is increased. Light weight is desirable
but large rivet wearing surface is imperative for satisfactory operation. Good
practice gives from 1000 to 1200 lbs. pressure per square inch of projected
rivet area.

Builders:
Shawver Co.
The Shawver machine which is used for sanding all kinds of twist or
spiral turnings comprises a bench lathe with cast iron bod, three-step head
stock cone and screw tail stock all of the ordinary type. The stock to bo
sanded is mounted between centers in the usual way and is sanded by a special
roll used in the folio ving manner. Parallel with and near the bod of the lathe
is located a round steel rod upon which slides a sleeve with handle for the
operator’s left hand. Pivoted on this sleeve is a round rod with handle at the
upper end for the operator’s right hand. This rod carries the sanding roll
which is of wood fitted with equally spaced transverse rubber lugs projecting
from its face. The sand paper is made up in the form of a sleeve and is slipped
over this roll resting on the lugs. This roll adjusted to the proper height
is hold at the proper angle so that one of the lugs is on each side of one of the
twisted beads and m this position is fed along the twist by the rotation of the

This is a cast iron and steel machine built on a frame composed of side
members connected by bolted-on cross girts. It is used exclusively for clamping
sash and is provided with quick adjustments to take any size within its range.
Upon the top of the frame are mounted two cross rails one in a fixed position
and the other adjustable. The adjustable rail is forced toward the fixed rail by a
pedal operated mechanism of considerable power Both the rails carry in planed
ways clamping dogs each fitted with two lugs. Two dogs are mounted on each
rail and are swivelled thereon so that the two lugs which are at right angles
to each other bear on both sides of each corner of the sash. The clamping
dogs are adjustable in planed ways of the rails by right and left screws. The
result of this mechanism is that pressure is applied to the sash both ways
on each corner by the operation of the one pedal.
The American Figure 8861 clamp has range for sash up to 67"x67'/. Floor

Sash Dovetailing Machines.
Builders:
American Wood Working Machinery Co.
Greenlee Bros. & Co.
This type machine is used for dovetailing the check rails to the stiles on
top and bottom sash of double hung windows.
The Am.crican Figure 8845 machine contemplates the working of raffs on
one side of the machine and stiles on the other side. Independent work tables
and cutter heads are fitted. Capacity is about 80 windows per hour.
The machine is built on a one-pit ce frame which carries at each side
horizontal slides for the work tables. One of these slides is located at the edge
of the top and the other is some distance down the side of machine. The
tables are fitted with an arm carrying a roller which travels against the lower
track. On the side of machine used for rails the following tools are mounted
inside the frame. First a horizontal saw arbor which extends across the machine
and carries two saws, one for trimming rails and the other for the stiles. Located
next in order of cut ;s a vert cal spindle fitted with a grooving saw which
grooves end of rail. Next is a tenoning head mounted on a horizontal shaft
and last is another vertical spindle which carries in addition to the grooving
saw a coping head which is located below ¿he saw and used to cope the tenon
shoulder to fit stile sticking. The rail in passing these several stations is
mounted on a sliding table, vertically adjustable, and fitted with suitable
stops and gauges. After the first grooving saw has been passed the table is
automatically tilted to give the proper angle to the dovetailing tenon. This
tilting movement is accomplished by a roller at the end of a lever attached
to the table. This roller travels in one of three grooves located one above
the other in a vertical plane on the side of the machine under the horizontal
way on which the table travels. In these grooves is located a switch block
which may be set to divert the roller from one groove to another at a certain
point in its travel. To dovetail one end of bottom sash check rails the roller
follows the lower groove as far as the switch block, at which point the stock
has passed the first grooving saw, it is then diverted to the center groove.
This movement of the roller and lever tilts the table_ to the proper angle.
To tenon the other end of the same rail the process is reversed, the roller
traveling in the upper groove to the switch block and there being diverted
to the center. In dovetailing check rails for the top sash the roll starts in the
center groove and at the switch it is diverted to the top groove for one end and
to the bottom groove for the other end.
On the other side of the machine, used for the dovetailing of the stiles,
the first operation performed on the stock as it travels through the machine
on the sliding tables is the trimming to length. Next is_ a vertical spindle
fitted with a grooving saw and last’s another vert'cal spindle which carries
three grooving saws. Th:s latter sp:ndle is provided with a lever adjustment
to shift the saws from position for one side stile to the proper position to cut
the other side. This adjustment may be effected while the machine is running
and a graduated quadrant is fitted to show the position of saws. The table
on which the stiles are traversed is fitted with vertical adjustment but hasno tilting motion. All the vertical spindles are fitted with screw operated
vtrt’cal, horizontal and angular adjustment and carry a full set of graduated
spacing collars for the grooving saws. Weight 1250 lbs. Floor space 80"x92".

In operating large band saws it is essential that the transverse center
of the blade be at least as long as the edges otherwise the latter will flutter
in the cut. To bring about this condition tension is rolled into the saw under
heavy pressure by the hardened steel rolls of this type machine. The machine
built in either bench or floor types comprises a competent frame which carries
the gear driven horizontal rolls which are ground slightly crowning and fitted
with a powerful screw operated tension on the saw which is fed through the
rolls and expanded at any point requiring such treatment.No. 835.

This is a hand operated tool used for upsetting the points of band, resaws
and rip saws. The essential parts of the tool are a stationary anvil of hardened
steel, which when in operating position is located on top of the saw tooth, and
a revolving, eccentric type die, actuated by a hand lever and operating on
the front of tooth. These parts are mounted in a steel block which is slotted
to receive the saw to which it is clamped by a powerful, lever operated screw.
In operation rotation of the eccentric die by the hand lever spreads the metal
at the point of the tooth, against the anvil.
The Swage Shaper is a hand operated tool used to press into uniform
shape the points of the teeth as they come from the swage. It employs
a powerful lever operated screw pressure and shapes the teeth so that the
cutting points only are in contact with the wood.

It is rather difficult in some cases to draw the line between Dimension
Mills and Power Feed Bolters but for the purpose of description these machines
will be divided as follows: (A) Short Log Dimension Mills which will be
understood to embody practically the same parts as a standard circular mill
but of limited range. In this machine as in a regular mill a husk frame of
wood or iron carries the arbor together with a friction feed works for the carriage.
Carriage is provided with two or in some cases three head blocks, dogs and
a suitable set works. This type machine is used for cutting short logs, veneer
cores, etc., into small dimension stock of various kinds. (B) Power Feed
Bolting Saws will be understood to embody a self-contained wood or iron
frame machine designed to be installed on any floor without special foundation
and fitted with horizontal arbor which carries the saw in the center of a two
section traveling table operated by friction feed from the arbor. One section
of the table carries an adjustable fence and may be made stationary or locked
to and travel with the traveling table. This machine is used for cutting slabs,
plank, etc., into box boards, staves, handle blanks and other dimension stock.
(C) Bolt Splitting Saw. This machine is similar to the preceding one except
that the saw is larger and the table is shorter and fitted at each end with a
“U" shaped casting which spans the saw. This type machine is used for

A circular saw cuts faster than a band saw and is easier kept in condition
and cheaper to operate but on account of the wide kerf as compared w>th the
band saw it is not used to a great extent in large operations. Circular mills
however have thtir place and their advantages among which are the lower
initial cost, ease of installation and convenience in moving to a new site. The
stationary type of circular mill is installed on operations where the standing
timber is in sufficient quant'ty to warrant the erect'on of a more or less perma-
nent mill but not great enough to indicate a modern band mill. The circular
is also used on low grade timber where the waste is not a matter of great
importance. Mills of the top saw type, which comprise two arbors one above
the other with a smaller saw on the top arbor the saws being exactly in line,
are preferred for use on logs of mixed sizes as the saws on this type mill may be
of smaller size and consequently of thinner gauge. The top saw may be readily
stopped when the logs are not of a size to bring it into the cut.
A typical large double mill embodies a cast, box type husk frame
86"x98"xl0" upon which the main arbor and the frame which carries the
upper arbor are mounted. The main arbor is 4 \i" in diameter, mounted in
three 12" water cooled, self-oiling bearings and fitted with 12" forged steel
collars. The arbor pulley is 30"x22" with solid web center and is turned
inside and out. The upper arbor is 2 ys" diameter and carries 7" forged steel
collars. Both arbors may be drilled axially throughout their length for the
purpose of conducting water to the saws. The upper arbor is driven by belt
from the lower one, the belt passing around two idle pulleys in such manner
as to give the proper reverse motion. This arbor’s carried in a full length
sleeve which carries the three bearings and is fitted with an arm to carry
the saw guide. This sleeve forms a yoke around the pulley and is carried in
two boxes operating in vertical ways in the arched frames which carry the upper
works and is readily adjustable laterally or vertically. The maximum saw
on the main arbor is 72" and on the upper one 36" diameter. Weight complete

Saw Mills, Gang Type.
Builders:
Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.
D. J. Murray Mfg. Co.
Wickes Bros.
Wilkin-Challoner Co.
The Gang Saw Mill comprises essentially a series of thin, vertical,
saws mounted and strained in a steel sash which is reciprocated in vert-
ical ways by connecting rod from a steam or belt driven crank shaft located
in the base of the machine. The frame of this machine comprises two heavy
“A” side members and in the smaller sizes the machine is self-contained.
The cant is fed through the saws by corrugated rolls usually driven by a variable
friction feed mechanism. Screw or steam operated press rolls with a wide
range are fitted. The saw sash does not travel in a true vertical path but
oscillates so that the saws are swung into the cut on the downward stroke and
retreat out of contact on the upward stroke.
This type of mill is used for producing flooring, siding and other strips
from cants which have been slabbed off on the circular or band mill and for
other similar work. The larger sizes arc also used for producing boards and
plank from the smaller timber. It is pre-eminently a machine for producing
boards and finds its greatest field in connection with band mills in large
operations. The small self-contained machines are also used by cooperage
and box manufacturers for cutting thin stock direct from the log. The saws
being short, thin and tightly strained produce very accurate work with a
minimum saw kerf.
The Murray heavy type gang mill is built in two widths between stiles,
36" and 42" and with a 14" depth of cut. Twenty-five or more saws are
strained in the all-steel sash and are fitted with improved hooks at the lower
end. These saws remove a scant yg" kerf and the output of the mill under
favorable conditions is about 70,000 feet of one-inch boards in ten hours.
The mill is built on a pair of heavy box and ribbed type “A” frames
which are cast in two pieces only. The crank shaft at the base is of extra large
size and carries a combined disc crank and flywheel. The saw sash oscillates
with a motion which causes the saws to enter the cut with an easy, raking
sweep and clear the wood entirely on the upward stroke.
The hangers to which the saws are hooked are milled to suit the standard
thickness of stock being cut so that gauges between the saws are not necessary.
Other thicknesses are cut by the use of distance pieces between the hangers.
Chippers are attached to the sash for the purpose of removing projections on
the cant which extend beyond the sash stiles. Press rolls are steam actuated
and on the machines over 30" wide are in two sections with independent
yield having range to feed cants varying 5" side by side. Feed rolls are of
wrought steel, of large size and are hung in a swing frame which moves out
of the way when changing saws. Feed works are friction driven and may be
readily set at any speed from zero to maximum or as quickly reversed.
The Direct Steam Driven Gangs built by the Murray Co. are 42 " and 48 "
between the sash stiles and cut 14" deep. In this machine the steam cylinder
is bolted to the bed plate which carries the upper works and the piston is
connected to a heavy crank shaft which carries two balance wheels.
The Murray Pony Gangs are self-contained, belt driven tools with 26"
and 32 " sash and a 9 " cut. These smaller machines are especially well adapted
to cutting rift sawed flooring strips.
The Wilkin-Challoner Co. and Wickes Bros, each build a full line of gang
mills of advanced design and thorough construction.No. 842.
Saw Mills, Special Band Type.
Builders:

The Yates Type R-3 Small Band Mill is designed for use in cutting small
logs where it is important that the cut follow the grain. For this reason it
is well adapted to getting out various kinds of special stock such as airplane
parts, etc.
The machine is all above the level of the working floor and comprises a
competent cored base and frame which carry the weldless, steel spoked upper
and the solid web lower wheel with range for saws 4" to 5" wide. The carriage
which is apart of the machine is of framed-up hard wood, 25'0" long and travels
on a two rail track raised above the floor level on cast iron stands. This
carriage is provided with six 15" head blocks operated from a set shaft. Set
works are single acting and operate from the front of carriage with range
from K" to 2". Feed of carraige is by a ys" plow steel cable actuated by a
drum, gear driven from lower wheel shaft. Feeds forward at 150 F. P. M.

The Band Mill which has replaced the Circular Mill in all large and most
medium sized operations is used in some plants for sawing the log in its entirety
into the finished product and in others for splitting, “breaking down,” or
otherwise dividing the log into cants which are reduced into boards and plank
by the use of band resaws or gang mills. Either process results in a great
saving of kerf over the circular mill.
The construction of the band mill involves a heavy base or sole plate
which rests on timber work at the level of the mill floor. Rising from this
base plate are heavy cored columns which carry the top wheel on a heavy
shaft between bearings. Depending from the bottom of the base plate are
the hangers which carry the lower wheel shaft. The saws which range in
width from 6" to 20" run over the steel tired wheels with the teeth projecting
over the edge at speeds up to 10,000 F. P. M. The logs are mounted on a
carriage similar to that used in circular mills.
In some cases saws with teeth on both edges are used on the ordinary type
of band mill with some detail modifications. These double edged saws are
termed double cutting saws and by reason of cutting both ways of the carriage
travel, they necessitate a special layout of the auxiliary mill machinery.
Some band mills designed for use on gritty logs are fitted with what is
called a “rosser” saw. This is a small heavy gauge circular saw carried on an
arbor mounted in a swing frame so set as to cut a groove through the outer
sk:n of the log directly in the path of the band saw. The object of this saw
is of course, to provide clean cutting for the band and thus prolong its life
between grindings.
The Band Mills built by the Murray Co. include the No. 191 and No.
190 mills with nine and ten foot wheels having capacity to carry saws to 18"No. 843, Continued.
wide. These mills are designed for cutting the large Pacific Coast timber
and are exceptionally large, heavy tools. They embody extra large shafts,
long, water cooled bearings and deep, heavy base plates. The top guides
are operated by steam cylinders, and when so ordered, a reversible steam
engine may be fitted for raising and lowering the top wheel.
In addition to the above Pacific Type mills the Murray Co. build four
smaller mills with wheels six, seven, eight and nine feet in diameter. These
mills are used for the ordinary run of timber and carry saws 10" to 12" wide
by 32'6" to 51'0" long. The distance between guides runs from 2'9" on the
smallest mill to 5'6" on the nine foot mill. Size of base ranges from 49"x79 W
up 112h"x117".
The Allis Type B mills built by the Allis-Chalmers Co. are also of the
heavy Pacific Type and embody mills with wheels eight, nine, ten and eleven
feet in diameter which carry saws 12" to 20" wide by 44'0" to 65'0" long.
Distance between guides ranges from 4'8 yA" to 8'0". Pulleys vary from

with_ integral, staggered arms. Both wheels with chilled faces. Water cooled
bearings. Steam cylinder for guide adjustment. Reversible steam engine
on order for top wheel adjustment. In addition to the above heavy tools the
Allis-Chalmers Co. build an extensive line of medium and smaller band mills.
The Clark band mills are built in nine sizes with wheels six to ten feet
in diameter carrying saws 9" to 16" wide by 33'6" to 53'5 y2" long. This
line covers mills suited for all sizes of timber from the extra large Pacific logs
to the “small and medium eastern and southern stock. Distance between
guides ranges from 44" to 80" and pulley size from 30"xl3" to 60"x25". Size
of base varies from 61"x76" to 127"xl30". _ Weights 12,500 lbs. to 47,000 lbs.
Construction features of the Clark machines include steel spoked top and
bottom wheels, chain oiling, water cooled bearings, steam straining engines
and stoanl, air or friction actuated guides.
The Filer & Stowell band mills arc built with wheels six, eight, nine and
ten feet in diameter carrying saws 10" to 18" wide and up to 60'0" long. The

The essential parts of a saw mill carriage are the Frame, Trucks, Offsets
(when used with a band mill), Tracks, Track Cleaners, Bumpers, Couplings,
Head Blocks, Dogs, Set Works and Scale and Receders.
The Frames are usually built of heavy timbers strongly re-enforced with
steel. In some cases the entire frame is fabricated from structural steel shapes.
The design in any case involves longitudinal girders connected by a series of
cross girts. The cross girt which receives the thrust of the steam feed as well
as the end girts are very heavily re-enforced by means of steel plates. In some
wood frame carriages the steam feed girt involves a heavy steel casting which
forms a complete girt. The longitudinal girder nearest the saw, if of wood,
is usually covered by a steel angle. Wood carriages are very thoroughly
constructed being mortised and tenoned and bolted and rodded v/here necessary.
The tenons are at least half the thickness of the timbers. A carriage to carry
30" head blocks would be built of timbers about 6"x7" while a 60" block
carriage would involve timbers about 10"xl2".
When cutting extra long logs the carriage is often used in connection with
a trailer. This trailer carries one or two head blocks only, and is coupled to
the main carriage by means of Automatic Couplers which draw the ends of
carriage and trailer firmly together. When the trailer is not required it
is uncoupled by the action of a hand or foot lever. The abutting ends of
carriage and trailer are shod with steel plates. The set shaft on carriage
is connected with the trailer set shaft by an automatic wing coupling which
squares the knees on carriage and trailer.
Carriages are mounted on a series of trucks comprising an axle 2ft" to
3 H" diameter which is fitted with two, three or four wheels, one, or in the
case of the four wheel axle, sometimes two, of which are grooved to fit a V“”
track the remaining wheels being fitted with turned flat face. The large heavy
carriages used on the Pacific Coast are usually fitted with three or four wheels
on each axle. Where three wheels are employed one wheel is located close to each
side of the girder nearest the saw. On extra heavy carriages with four wheel
axles, one wheel is located at each side of each girder and the two wheels
farthest from the saw may be both of the grooved type. The wheels are shrunk
or otherwise rigidly fitted onto the axles which are journaled in competent
brass lined or babbitted bearings 7" to 16" long. The wheels are of cast steel
and should be of high carbon stock to insure hardness.
The track upon which the truck wheels operate is a special rolled shape,
5" across the base, 1 %" high with flat top about 1%" wide. The “V” track
has a to Yi" flat top with 45 degree sides. Both the “V” and the flat
track for heavy service are often replaced by standard steel rails in 60 lbs.
to 90 lbs. weights. Other weights of rails ranging from 40 lbs. to 150 lbs. are
used to some extent but for heavy -service the sizes given are most common.
When the steel rail is used for carriage track both the fiat and the "V” tracks
are machined and the base is often widened by rivetting a steel plate 8" to 10"
wide the -entire length of track, The center to center distance of tracks, •with
two wheel axles, according to Prescott practice ranges from 44 on 30"No. 844, Continued
block carriages up to 79 ^"on 60" carriages. The “V” track is the outer one,
farthest removed from the saw. The Head Blocks are usually spaced from
five to eight feet apart and two truck axles are located at each block. Various
devices are fitted to the carriage for the purpose of cleaning the track and
truck wheels. Many of these Cleaners employ wood surfaces which are in
contact with both the wheels and track.
Bumpers are fitted at each end of the carriage travel and may be of the
spring or of the pneumatic type. The former comprises a heavy coiled
compression spring fitted with cast ends and Is suitable only for use in
connection with light carriages.
The Pneumatic Bumper comprises a suitable cylinder fitted wth piston
and ram which is normally extended by a heavy coiled spring. When the ram
is struck by the carriage the automatic relief valves permit the gradual egress
of the air, and cushion the shock very effectually. The cylinder sizes range from
10"xl6" up to 20 "x40 ".
Carriges used to serve band mills require to be offset or moved away from
the saw on the non-cutting run to prevent the saw being pulled off the wheels
by contact with the log. This offsetting involves a lateral motion of the entire
carriage on the truck axles amounting to y>" to The power for this motion
is sometimes derived from two or more of the truck axles and the mechanism
in this case involves a cam of some sort which is rotated slightly, between
beveled mating surfaces at each reversal of the carriage motion. This mechanism
is also built in a form which contemplates a brake drum keyed to the truck
axle and encircled by a band. The outer end of the casing which carries the
brake band is connected by levers to a longitudinal rock shaft which is journaled
in bearings mounted on the axles between collars. The rock shaft is connected
by cranks and levers directly to the carriage frame, Another type of offset
which is independent of the trucks is known as the Drag Offset. This device
embodies a lever pivoted to the carriage girder nearest the saw and fitted on
the free end with spring tensioned shoes operating on the “V” track. Re-
versal of the carriage motion gives the lever a slightly angular position and
offsets the carriage. Still another type of offset used on carriages with cable
feed contemplates toggle arms, one end pivoted on the axle and the other
end on the carriage. The pull of the carriage feeding cable alternately straightens
and angles them toggles thus offsetting the carriage. Whatever type of offset
is employed it must be fitted with some quickly operated device to render
it in-operative for use in backing the log out of a cut as the offset will otherwise
operate automatically at every reversal of motion.
The Head Blocks which receive the log and form the principal part of
the carriage comprise a base which extends laterally across the carriage and
carries a knee with dogs and a lover operated taper setting mechanism. The
knee is traversed on the ba o to or from the saw by rack and pinion or by a
heavy gear driven screw. The driving pinions for this motion are mounted
on a heavy shaft extending lengthwise of the carriage and called the Set Shaft
so that the knees are operated in unison by the set works which rotate the
set shaft.
The lever operated taper movement provides a movement of the knee
upon the base, independent of the set works through a range of about 3" each
way from center. The Head Blocks are of cast iron with steel mountings or
they may be of cast steel. In any case the head block is a heavy rugged piece
of mechanism as it receives the log directly on its base and stops it against
the knee. The usual spacing of Head Blocks would comprise three blocks
on a sixteen or eighteen foot carriage, four on a twenty or twenty-four foot and
five on a thirty foot carriage. The head blocks are built in sizes ranging from
30" to 60", the size denoting the distance the knee recedes from the saw line.
The head blocks used on the heavy timber of the Pacific Coast are of steel,
often of the low type and are usually operated by heavy triple thread screws
running in adjustable bronze nuts.
A variety of Dogs are used to hold the timber to the head block knees.
For round logs the Hammer Dog is often used. This dog involves a steel toothNo. 844, Continued
mounted at the end of a lever pivoted concentrically with a segmental guide
bolted to the side of knee. The hammer is mounted at the end of a second lever
which pivots at same point as the tooth lever and is operated by hand. Hammer
lever is connected to the tooth lever by link which allows some latitude of
motion between the two levers so that the hammer may be used for with-
drawing as well as for setting the dog. The Board Dog is usually mounted
within the knee and comprises a series of upward pointing teeth working in
unison with a similar series of teeth which point downward. These teeth working
together by the action of one hand lever grip the top and bottom edges of
squared stock and force it firmly against the knee. Board dogs are usually
used in connection with hammer or other dogs for holding round stock which
after being squared up comes within the range of the board dogs. The “Craney”
dog is built in both stationary and receding types, the latter operating on
a bar pivoted at the base of knee so that it may recede at the top to handle
large logs, the center of which may project to the rear of the knee above the
top of same. The guide bar used in this type dog projects considerably over
the top of the knee and gives a wide range. The Knight dog which involves
a vertical guide bar is built in single, duplex and special quarter-sawing types.
For handling the large Pacific Coast timber low pattern knees fitted with
spud dogs working in connection with pivoted cant hook type of upper dogs
are used.
The Head Block Knees are operated in unison, to or from the saw by
the Set Shaft which rotates the spur pinions in the case of the rack and pinion
blocks and is geared to the screws in that type of head block. This Set Shaft
is rotated, to bring the knees forward the required distance at each succeeding
cut, by the Set Works which may be Hand, Power or Steam operated. The
Hand Set Works involve a cast steel ratchet wheel of about y2" pitch and
wide face, often 6" to 7", which is usually of the split type and is mounted
directly on the Set Shaft. This ratchet wheel is actuated by pawls mounted
on arms actuated by the Cross Head. The cross head involves a casting keyed
to the set lever shaft and fitted with adjustable flanges which carry crank
pins to which the pawl arms are connected. The set lever shaft is parallel
with theftet shaft and is actuated by a hand lever in connection with a quadrant
and adjustable stops. Operation of latches permit setting to -h", ¡V" or ys".
Geared to the set shaft is the Index Wheel, fitted with a graduated brass rim.
As the knees move toward the saw the top face of this graduated wheel moves
towrard the setter and indicates the exact distance between the knees and
the saw line. Mounted on the rim of the Index Wheel is the Scale, graduated
in inches and also with starting lines for various thicknesses of boards and plank.
Each space on this Scale includes the thickness of board plus the saw kerf.
The use of the scale permits the setting of the squared face of a log against
the knee in alignment with a thickness mark on the scale, and the setting of
the set lever quadrant to a corresponding stop so that the cant will be cut
into stock of equal thickness, the last board being of the same thickness as
the others.
The “Trout" Power Set Works, built by the Allis-Chalmers Co. is driven
in two ways, the first method contemplating continuosly running sheaves
and rope and the second a small high-speed motor mounted directly on the
carriage and fed by trailing cables. The rope driving method embodies two
sheaves driven in opposite directions by one rope and both operating on the
same friction wheel. In the motor driven machine the feed cable is looped
to spools which slide on a horizontal steel wire. A reversing belt is employed
in the case of motor drive. The pedestal which carries the setting mechanism
embodies a cast steel ratchet wheel mounted on a shaft set at a slight angle
from the vertical and geared to the set shaft. The top is fitted with setting
and scale dials and the amount of set is governed by a brass gauge plate with
teeth corresponding to the teeth on the ratchet. A gauge lever swings around
this plate and is latched at any required point. This type of set works is
fitted with an integral receding mechanism so that no independent device
is required for that purpose. Steam Set Works involve lever controlled,double acting steam cylinders which operate a rock shaft by means of segment
gears and rack. The rock shaft actuates the pawl arms which work in connec-
tion with a ratchet wheel similar to that employed in the hand type of setting
mechanism. The steam setter is usually built in two sizes one setting for 2"
stock at each double stroke of the piston and the other for 4" stock. Special
types of steam setters are built for Pacific Coast work. Steam is conveyed to
the steam set works on the moving carriage by Transmitters which embody
hollow piston rods working in steam chambers through stuffing boxes.
When the last board or plank has been cut from the log the knees require
to be run back to receive a fresh log. This motion is accomplished by a mechan-
ism known as a Roceder and is built in three types, Spring, Friction or Steam
actuated. The Spring Receder embodies a heavy coiled spring concentric
with the set shaft. This spring is wound up by the forward movement of the
knees and is thereby tensioned sufficiently to return the knees under control
of a hand brake. The Friction Receder derives power from the truck axles
by means of spur frictions and is controlled by a lever operated brake. The
Steam Receder involves a reversible steam cylinder of equal bore and stroke
double geared to the set shaft and governed as regards speed by a throttling
governor.
In general it may bo stated that the Spring Receders are best adapted
to use on light carriages fitted with steam set works. This by reason of
the extra work on the setter (when hand set works are employed) in winding
up the spring. For use in connection with hand set works the Friction Receder
is best suited. Heavy carriages fitted with steam set works for the handling
of large heavy logs usually employ steam receders as well. The steam receding
mechanism in this case is used to some extent for setting in cutting timbers
and is faster for this service than the regular set works.

Carriage feeds are built in three principal types, Friction, Direct Steam
or Shot Gun and Twin Engine Types.
The Friction Feed is best adapted to use in the manufacture of valuable
hard woods where the carriage must be handled slowly. With this type feed
any desired speed is readily obtained. The mechanism involved comprises
a drum shaft mounted in eccentric bearings and fitted with single or double
spur friction wheels together with a spirally grooved rope drum. This drum
shaft is mounted in a self-contained frame between two parallel friction wheel
shafts which are driven in the same direction by one belt running over an
idle pulley. One of the friction wheels which drives the return motion is
approximately twice the size of the friction which drives the. forward cutting
motion^The friction wheel on the central drum shaft is brought into contact
with either of the driving wheels by the use of the eccentric bearings which
are connected by suitable linkage to the sawyers lever. The carriage is operated
by rope, each end of which is made onto one end of the carriage. From the
carriage the rope is led around suitable sheaves to the reversible winding drum
where several wraps are made.No. 845, Continued
The “Rawson” Friction Feed as built by Clark Bros, embodies a self-
contained wood frame which carries four parallel shafts. The shaft which
receives the power carries the reversing friction and drives the forward fric-
tion by means of a three-step cone pulley. The forward motion friction shaft
carries a heavy flywheel which enables it to readily pick up the load of the
carriage. _ The shaft which receives power alternately from the forward and
reverse frictions is heavily back geared by means of spur gears to the drum
shaft. The cone pulleys embodied in this machine provide for three forward
speeds with one constant return.
Some of the smaller circular mills employ a type of friction feed which
is essentially the same as the above described machines but is designed for
mounting directly on the null husk and driving from the arbor.
Direct Acting or Shot Gun Feeds comprise essentially a steam cylinder
about 16 feet longer than the maximum length of log to bo cut. This cylinder
has a bore ranging from 7" to 14" and is usually built inflections about 10
feet long with short sections about 2 feet long on each end. These sections
arc flanged together and are fitted with machined feet at each end so that
the entire assembled cylinder is readily mounted on the mill floor parallel
with the tracks and close to the bottom of carriage. The piston rod is of heavy
steel tubing fitted with solid screwed joints and is attached to one or in some
cases to two of the carriage girts by a special fitting which allows some freedom
of lateral and vertical motion. A hardwood slide is usually fitted for the support
of the piston rod when fully extended. Steam is admitted to each end of the
cylinder by one central valve or by a valve at each end, the control in any
case seating in the sawyers lever. Cylinders are built regularly in lengths
up to about 80 feet and the feed is much used for logs up to about 40 feet long.
For sawing largo heavy logs the Twin Engine type of rope feed is used.
This feed involves reversible, double acting, vertical, twin cylinders which
drive the rope drum direct or through spur back gears. The engine is mounted
at any point in the carriage run below the mill floor and the rope is given a
competent wrap around the drum and led over a sheave at each end of the
carriage travel. One end of the rope is attached to some type of spring cushioned
block at each end of the carriage. In some installations but one guide sheave
is employed and the engine is located so as to bring the winding drum at the
proper elevation at one end of the carriage run. The cylinders employed
in this type feed works range from 8" to 18" bore and from 10" to 20" stroke.
Control is by balanced reversing valve operated by the sawyers lever. The
rope drums range from 20" to 48" diameter and the idle sheaves up to about
60". Ropes to 1 %" diameter are used and the carriage travel may be
as much as 150 feet. The following table gives comparison of a geared twin
cylinder feed with a direct twin cylinder and a shot gun type feed.

This machine is essentially a saw mill tool and is used for talcing slabs
and edgings direct from the live rods and cutting them into lath or stove wood
lengths delivering its product direct to a conveyor. A smaller type of slasher
is used in some cases in connection with the main machine. This small slasher
takes the four-foot stock from the main slasher and cuts it into stove wood
lengths.
The machine as furnished by the builder usually conprises the iron and
steel parts only. The wood frame work is really a part of the mill structure.
The saws on this type machine are not adjustable and the standard spacing
is 49" although some machines are fitted with saws every 12", 16" or 18"
for the purpose of cutting stove wood from the straight run of slabs. In other
machines seme of the saws are spaced for lath lengths and others for stove
wood. The slasher saws are usually about 40" in diameter and nine or ten
gauge and are mounted on a sectional arbor composed of heavy forged steel
shafts with integral collars on each end. The face of the collars is fitted male
and female and the shafts are bolted one to the other with a saw between
each pair of collars making a very rigid construction. For Eastern mills three
to six saws are fitted while for the large timber worked on the coast slashers
are fitted with six to twelve saws.
The sectional arbor is mounted horizontally in the mill timbers and the
slabs are carried under the arbor and through the saws by spiked chains (two
or more for each saw) which run on the mill floor which in some installations
is on an incline. The slasher feed chains are run to any point desired and receive
the refuse direct from the main roll train by means of transfer skids. The
product of the slasher falls by gravity to conveyor chains running parallel
with the slasher arbor.
A special layout of slasher chains as developed by the Allis-Chalmers
Co. involves chains in two sections. The first section which receives the stock
from the main rolls and edger tables discharges onto the second section which
is run at a slower speed than the first section. This differential speed has
the effect of straightening the slabs, which may fall onto the first section at
an angle, as they pass on to the second section.
The Murray No. 117 Slasher is a departure from the usual typo in the
fact that it is a steel frame self-contained unit which requires little miliwrighting
in its installation. This machine is built of heavy structural steel and mounts
the arbor bearings on 12" I beams. The table is at a considerable incline so
that the conveyor for the cut stock need not be below the level of the floor.
Extra sprockets are mounted on the shaft at the foot of the table for carrying
the floor chains which do not form a part of the machine, The feed works
are driven by a self-contained unit located below the floor comprising compound
spur friction and geared drive. Pulley on arbor is designed for a 12" belt.
Saws are 40" diameter, nine gauge and 80 tooth.
The stove wood type of slasher is usually built on a self-contained wood
or cast frame which carries a heavy horizontal arbor fitted with two or three
saws 26" to 36" in diameter. Below the arbor are located ways at right angles
to the arbor. In these ways a series of spiked chains are operated and are
usually driven by belt from the arbor.
The Wheland No. 1546 machine is an iron frame tool of the stove wood
type. It is fitted with a 2H " arbor driven by a 10"xl0" pulley. The 26" saws,
two or three in number are mounted on adjustable collars. Chains and runways
to the number of eight are provided on a three-saw machine. Motor of 25 H. P.
may be belted direct to the arbor. j Floor space 81"xl00. Weight 2700 lbs.No. 847.
Saw Mill Trimmers, Roll Table Type.
Builders:
Chase Turbine Mfg. Co.
Lane Mfg Co.
In medem saw milling it is the universal custom to trim both ends of
the boards and planks, as they come from the edgers, to standard lengths
usually one inch over 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 feet long. The object of this
trimming is to facilitate handling, piling and kilning, to make a neater appearing
product, save freight on the waste ends and to raise the grades by cutting
out defects to some extent. The machines listed in the following six paragraphs
arc for doing this work at varying capacities.
The roll table machine is of small capacity and is used only in mills
with a limited output. The machine comprises a wood frame which carries
a long horizontal arbor and a table working on roller trucks. The saws are
adjustable on the arbor while in motion by lever or handwheel and the table
is equal in length to the longest stock to to trimmed. Machines for stock
over 16' long are usually fitted with arbor in two sections. Some types of
this machine are fitted with twro adjustable saws and others with one stationary
and one adjustable saw.

This type of trimmer is operated by one man and has capacity to trim
the output of mills cutting 20 to 50 thousand feet per day. The machine is
built on both wood and iron frames, and comprises a long arbor or in the longer
machines two independent arbors on which the saws are mounted in sliding,
feather keyed collars. The collars are attached to chain run ways so that
the saws follow the chain ways in any adjustment. The chain ways are adjust-
able by crank or handwT.eels working in connection with sprocket wheels
and chains running parallel with the arbor. One turn of the handwheel moves
the chain way and saw a stated distance, usually one foot. The feed chains
are fitted with dogs which feed the boards up a slight incline and over the
arbor which is located between the two tangents of the chain. The saws used
are from 20" to 24" in diameter and the ratio of feed to revolutions is two
to throe foot feed to one hundred revolutions of the arbor. Some types of
this machine are fitted with two independent arbors which permits mounting
a third drop arbor in the center. This drop arbor is raised to the cut by hand
or foot lever and its use obviates the necessity of a long travel for the outside
saw when a short board appears for trimming. The approximate floor space
for this class of machine is 84 " wade by two to four feet longer than the maximum
length stock trimmed.
The Wheland No. 1383 machine, an all iron and steel tool of this type,
is built on a frame composed of heavy cast end frames connected by steel
channels and is built in two sections for convenience in shipping. This
machine is built in six sizes wdth a maximum range of 39 y/ wdde by 30'0" long.

Saw Mill Trimmer, Under-Cut Gang Type.
Builders:
Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.

R. R. Howell Co.
McDonough Mfg. Co.
D. J. Murray Mfg. Co.
The trimmers used in mills of medium and largo capacity are usually built
in one of two types, over-cut gang or under-cut gang. These machines differ
in the relation of the saws to the feeding table. In the one case the saws are
normally above and clear of the stock passing over the table and in the other
they are below the table surface. The method of operation, is the same in both
cases. The proper saw as indicated by the approaching board is raised or
lowered to cutting position and the board is carried against itlby the continuously
traveling feed chains which receive the stock from transfer chains. In both
types the saw rotation is with the top of saw running towards the front of
machine so that the impact of the teeth serves to press the stock to the table.
These machines are built in any desired length with any number of saws
required. The usual layout is to space the first two saws either six or eight
feet apart representing the shortest cut that can be made. All other saws
are spaced at 24" intervals. An allowance of one inch is ordinarily made so
that a 12' board wfil be cut 12'1" long and so on. The machine may if desired
be fitted with an extra saw, located one foot from the first saw, used for trimming
odd foot lengths.
The Under-cut machine is usually built on a self-contained iron or wood
frame and for that reason is not so much used for trimming the extremely
long lengths of stock. Machines of this type have some advantages over the
over-cut type, among them being the self-contained feature which requires
little millwrighting. Little head room is required and a clear and unobstructed
view of the stock is permitted at all times.
The saws are mounted on independent arbors which are carried on counter-
balanced swing frames, normally with the saw completely below the table
level. The end saw usually remains in cutting position but may be lowered
if desired. As the stock approaches on the feed chains the appropriate saw
is raised to cutting position by an independent hand or foot lever. The control
lovers for all the saws are mounted in a group at the operating station which
may be on the floor at end of machine or in an elevated cage over the table.
The latter position is considered preferable as operator has a much better
view of the stock. The saws used on this type machine range from 20" to 30"
in diameter and the speed of the feed chains is about 80 to 100 F. P. M. Motor
of 15 to 25 H. P. may be belted or coupled to the common countershaft which
drives all arbors.
The Wheland machines of this type are built on self-contained cast and
steel frames and so fitted that when one saw is raised any other saws, except
the end one, which may be up are automatically dropped. Saws are 22" to
Zh" diameter and have range to trim stock to 6" thick and 42" or 48" wide.
Floor space is 85" and 101" wide by the maximum length trimmed plus 20".
Weights 6000 lbs. to 8700 lbs.

Generally speaking the over-cut type of trimmer is used for trimming
the longer and heavier class of stock. This type machine has the advantage
of accessibility of saw frames and lifting gear. It is also a safer machine to
operate as the ends of boards if thrown by the saws will fly from instead of
towards the operator. The machine is usually built, as regards the frame,
at the mill where installed and like the overhead slashers forms part of the
mill framing. The machine may thus be readily built in any required length.
General details of design and operation are the same as the Under-cut machines
except that in this machine the saws are lowered to the cut by the same system
of grouped hand or foot levers.

Saw Mill Trimmers, Air Lift Type.
Builders:
Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.
Clark Bros. Co.
Sumner Iron Works.
Either the over or the under-cut gang trimmers may be fitted with a
pneumatic mechanism for operating the saw frames in place of the pedal
or lever devices.
The Allis-Chalmers apparatus for this service is stated by the builders
to increase the trimmer capacity by 25% and in some cases one man may
be dispensed with from the trimmer crew. This mechanism involves a single-
acting air cylinder for each saw frame which acts directly on the frame and
raises it by admitting 20-30 lbs. of air below the piston. The saw frames are
held up in the case of the over-cut machine by air pressure in connection with
an automatic locking device and as the frames are not counter-balanced the
release of the air pressure allows the saw to instantly drop into cutting position.
When applied to the under-cut type of machine the pneumatic device is employed
to raise the saw into cutting position from which position it drops by gravity
on release of the pressure.
The control of the cylinders involves an inlet valve on each cylinder which
is connected by piano wire to a key board located in the operator’s cage over
the machine. The keys are easily moved by one finger and the entire bank
of keys may be spanned by the operator’s two hands so that he need not look
at the keys but may give his whole attention to the moving stream of stock
passing over the trimmer table. A master key is fitted which operates all
saws at once and there is also a special slasher key which automatically selects
all saws spaced 48" apart so that slabs, edgings, etc., may be cut to that length.
This class of trimmer is designed for the heaviest class of work in the fastest
mills. One Pacific coast installation comprises an Allis-Chalmers machine
fitted with nineteen 36" saws with range for stock up to 12" thick by 42'0"
long.
The Clark Bros, machine of this type is fitted with double-acting air
cylinders which operate the saw frames both ways giving increased speed
of operation and cushioning the motion at both ends. The machine is veryheavy and powerful and carries arbor pulleys 8"x8 H" face machined all over.
Arbors are 111" diameter and carry 8 " collars and 30" to 31' saws. The counter-
shaft is 2if " diameter and carries a receiving pulley 24"xl9" and saw pulleys
20 "x8 y2 " finished all over. Two feed chains for each saw run in steel lined
ways. The air cylinders are 4" bore and the pistons are fitted with double
snap rings. The bronze operating valves may be arranged to handle the saws
in any way desired. Steam coils and chambers are provided to prevent the
formation of ice from the air exhaust. The range is for stock up to 10" thick
and any width or length desired. This machine is also built with single-acting
cylinders and with variable feed. An under-cut machine of the same range
is also built and may be fitted with pedal, lever or air control.

Saw Mill Trimmers, Automatic Type.
Builders:
Clark Bros. Co.
The Clark Automatic Over-Cut Trimmer is designed for trimming boards
and plank automatically with no manual setting of the saw fram?s and no
attention from the operator beyond starting the stock properly on the feed
chains. This machine is recommended by the builders for operation by a two
man crew in mills cutting up to 100,000 feet per day of boards and bill stock
up to 26 feet long.
The machine is of the usual over-cut type so far as the saw frames, feed
chains, etc. are concerned. The pedal, lever and air cylinder type of lifting de-
vices are discarded and an automatic device operating from the stock itself is
substituted. This device involves a forged steel cam or quadrant pivoted
concentrically with the saw arbor on the end of yoke opposite the saw. The
saws in operation are all normally down and in cutting position with the point
of the quadrant below the table line. The stock advancing on the feed chains
strikes the quadrants and raises all of the saws out of the cut except the one
at the end which remains down and makes the cut. The quadrant on each saw
frame is located to the right of the saw and near the saw on the next frame.
Therefore if the stock is not of a length to reach any given saw it will
not contact with the quadrant on the saw 24" back and will be trimmed to
standard length. Any of the quadrants may be swung out of the way by the
operation of a cable pull so that bad ends, etc. may be trimmed out. The
machine is built to carry 24" or 30" saws.No. 853.

The Saw Mill Hog is a machine used for cutting slabs, edgings and mis-
cellaneous refuse into chips of a size to be readily dealt with by a blower or
conveyor system.
The construction involves a heavy cast frame in one-piece which carries
a powerfully belt driven horizontal shaft. This shaft carries a large cylinder
fitted with heavy knives which work in connection with steel throat bars.
In the saw mill type of hog the cylinder is of “V" shape and resenbles two
cones mounted on the shaft with the small ends together and the knives forming
a right angle one with the other. In operation the stock to be ‘‘hogged” is
thrown promiscuously into the hopper of the machine in the form of slabs,
edgings, blocks, etc. and is rapidly reduced to chips readily handled by exhaust
or conveyor system. This machine is also used for cutting roots, stumps,
etc. into chips for the purpose of extracting turpentine.
The Bartlet line of Hogs includes machines from the smallest which has
a 36" cylinder up to the largest with 46" cylinder. All Bartlet machines carry
12 knives and are built in several styles, one with single driving pulley, another
with single pulley and outboard bearing, another with double driving pulleys,
one on each end of shaft and one with two pulleys and two outboard bearings.
Standard construction comprises cast iron steel banded cylinders fitted with
laid steel knives and designed to run at 1000 R. P. M. Cast steel cylinders
are optional at extra cost.
The Murray line covers machines with cylinders ranging in size from
36"xl9" to 50"x25". Speed 1000-800 R. P. M. Power required 25 to 60 H. P.
Capacity in cords per hour 6 to 25. Number of knives per cylinder 12 to 24.
Increase in the number of knives increases the power requirement as well
as the capacity. Features of this line are the forged steel screw adjusted throat
plates, faced with tool steel, the extra heavy one-piece cast cylinders with
inserted clearance knives to prevent clogging between cylinder rim and casing.
Bearings are of chain oiling type.
The Mitts & Merrill line of saw mill hogs covers cylinders 30", 36", and 48"
diameter which are driven at speeds ranging from 850 to 1200 R. P. M. and
have capacity for 5 to 20 tons of refuse per hour. Features of the Mitts &
Merrill Hogs are the semi-steel, cast cylinders, accurately balanced and heavily
steel banded, self-aligning, chain oiling bearings and general rugged, trouble
proof construction. All machines are provided with outboard bearings and
are built in either right or left hand patterns with inclined or vertical hoppers.

large heavy Pacific Coast stock.
The Allis-Chalmers machine is built in two sizes to work stock 8" and
10" thick and is furnished in any width and with any required number of saws.
The frame is of heavy construction involving cast middle and end frames
with steel channel side members. The forged steel arbor is mounted in self-
oiling, water cooled bearings. Feed comprises in and outfeed fluted rolls driven
by a two-speed reversible spur friction drive located beneath the floor and
driven independently of the arbor. Two heavy press rolls of solid or divided
type are driven by steel spur gears and are raised by a steam cylinder at one
or both ends. The saw guides and shifters are of cast steel and the latter are
operated from the operating station by means of handles which engage a steel
rack graduated to quarter inches. When required a disappearing batteryof four or more rift saws may be fitted. These saws when out of use stand
inside the circle of the frame and take up no lumber space. When wanted
th ey are moved in by operation of a cast steel shifting lever.
The Clark machines of this class are designed with special reference to
cutting cants up to 10	"and 12 }A" thick into dimension stock. These machines
are built on massive box type beds and are fitted with steam operated press
rolls, two-speed forward and reverse feed and instantaneous stop and start
of the feed. Arbor extensions are fitted to carry separate gang of rift saws
and the arbor which is forged from open hearth, high carbon steel is mounted
in three chain oiling, water cooled bearings. The press rolls are operated
by a double-acting, two stage, steam lift cylinder, cushioned at both ends
and controlled as to speed by a throttling plug arranged to apply pressure
to the rolls simultaneously or alternately as required. The press rolls may be
driven by cut spur gears but the builders do not consider driven press rolls
of any advantage. Tins series of machines is built in six sizes ranging from 50"

Tin's type saw table is used for general ripping, cutting off, grooving,
gaining, etc. in all kinds of wood work where the use of the tilting table machine
is not indicated. It is a strong, simple tool of a few adjustments and is capable
of close accurate work. It comprises essentially a bolted-up or one-piece
cast frame fitted with a non-tilting cast iron table. Table carries grooves
on one or both sides of the saw for sliding cut-off gauges one of which is usually
of the swivel type. Ripping gauge adjusts on a track at the front edge of table.
The saw is usually surrounded by a removable throat plate. In some makes
the table is hinged at the rear and adjusted by screw at the front, in other
makes it has a parallel adjustment and in still others it is mounted on the
frame in a fixed position and the arbor is adjusted vertically either on vertical
ways or by a pivoted swing frame operated by screw and handwheel. The
machine which contemplates a stationary arbor is very often fitted with
boring or hollow chisel mortising attachments on the end of arbor. Drive is
from bolow as pulley is under the table. Many of the machines especially the
smaller ones are built with extended frame which carries the countershaft
at the rear. Motor of 5 to 7 3^ H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor.
A typical heavy, high-grade tool of this class is built on an open type
one-piece cast frame involving four legs with integral girts and is fitted with
an accurately planed cast iron table 47"x50" in size with removable throat
plate. This table is non-adjustably mounted on the frame and is fitted with
swivel gauges which operate in grooves on either side of the saw for cutting
off square or at any angle. These gauges are readily detached from the tongues
so that the tongues may be used to fill the table grooves when used for ripping.
The ripping gauge is of the tilting type and adjusts on a track at the front
edge of table. The arbor is mounted in self-oiling bearings in a yoke which is
gibbed to inclined ways and adjusted vertically by handwheel and screw
with improved self-cleaning spiral gears. Range is to carry saws 14" to 18"
diameter and cut stock up to 5" thick. Gauge may be set to a maximum
of 32" from the saw for ripping. The independent countershaft is mounted
at the rear and is fitted with a pedal operated belt shifter. Motor of 7 H
to 10 H. P. may be belted direct. Floor space without countershaft 47"x50".
Net weight 1650 lbs.
The Dodds No. 9 machine differs from the usual design in the fact that it
is fitted with a sliding section of the main table. This machine is built on a
cored box type pedestal with vertical ways upon its side upon which the
table housing adjusts by means of handwheel, screw and cantilever mechanism.
The cast iron table, 40"x44" in size, is fitted with removable throat plate
and carries two swivel miter gauges which operate in grooves on either side
of the saw, one pivoted cut-off gauge for use on the sliding table and a tilring
ripping gauge which adjusts on track at the front edge of table. A 12" wide
section of the table adjacent to the saw on the left has a sliding motion of 24"
and may be locked in place when required. The arbor is of hard steel 1 33"
diameter and is mounted in ring oiling bearings rigidly fitted to the top of
pedestal. It is belted from detached floor countershaft and is provided withNo. 862, Continued

The tilting table combination or variety saw is used for a large variety
of sauare and angular cutting-off, ripping, plowing, dadoing and fram'ng
in all kinds of wood working plants. It is a very versatile tool and when
fitted with hollow chisel mortising and boring attachment is capable of a wide
range of work.
The standard design contemplates a cored box type pedestal with broad
flocr flanges and integral ways upon the side for the vertically adjustable table
housing. The arbor is rigidly mounted at the top of the pedestal and the
table is adjusted vertically by screw and handwheel. The table is of cast
iron, accurately machined and fitted with grooves on both sides of the saw
fer the operation of cutting-off gauges which are usually of the swivel typo.
Ripping gauge is carried on a track at edge of table and may be of the double
faced or of the tilting type. The table is fitted to tilt to 45 degrees to the left
by the action of worm or other gearing and a handwheel. The inclination
of table is indicated on a graduated segment. From 5 to 10 H. P. is required
and the drive is from detached countershaft or motor belted direct. The
countershaft or motor is located on or under the floor.
The Tannewitz Typo “F” machine of this class is built on a cored, box
type pedestal w7ith bearing on the floor 24"x24". . At two corners of this
pedestal arc located 'ntcgral ways which carry the table housing in its vertical
adjustment. Tins housing is a heavy, unit casting with a superficial area
of 190 square inches and carries besides the table a dust hood with hinged
cast iron doer and connection for exhaust pipe. The cast iron table is heavily
ribbed and is 38"x44" in size exclusive of an extension which gives the ripping
gauge an increased range. The table surface is ground to a true plane, scraped
to pattern and fitted with c'ther plain or dovetailed grooves for the sliding
cut-cff gaugti. The table is tilted on heavy machined hinges, with adjustment
fer v eer, by a toothed segm.cntal arm which is pivoted to the outer, left edge
of table arid is operated by a pinion and handwheel at front of pedestal. An
alternate tilting mechanism involves a long, hollow, threaded, sleeve operated
by a concentric screw and direct-acting handwheel. This device is pivoted
at the lott edge of table and at base and is very positive and accurate
but has the disadvantage of locating the handwheel in rather an inconvenient
position. The housing, to the top of which the table is hinged, is adjusted
vertically in the gibhed ways by a quick threaded, ball hearing thrust, screw
operated by steel bevel gears and a large handwheel located on the front of
pedestal. The arbor is of crucibl; stc-el, rough turned and thoroughly seasoned
and finally ground to size and’s mounted in bearings'6 W' long which are fitted
with interchangeable, die cast, babbit bushings. The bearing housings are
separable from the yoke plate to which they are dovetailed and may he adjusted
for wear or fer end play. The complete yoke, hearing and arbor assembly
is mounted on the pedestal by two studs. Bearings are of the wick oiling type
and are provided with large off chambers. High-grade ball bearings may be
used at an extra cost. The ripping gauge is mounted on the table by the useNo. 863, Continued
of two taper pins and a finger wheel screw which make into a series of holes
in the table. This gauge may be adjusted to the front or rear of table, used
on either side of the saw and may be parallel with the saw or at any required
angle. Close adjustment of the gauge is by rack and pinion with positive lock
and the tilting motion to 45 degrees is set by lever and lock nut in a slotted
segment. Two sliding miter gauges are fitted with steel stop rods and are
mounted on plain or dovetailed tongues. An alternate gauge equipment
involves the use of the larger miter gauges as used on the TanncwRz Universal
Saw Table. The latter gauges are located on the principal angles by taper pins.
Drive is from detached floor countershaft or from motor of 5 to 7 y2 H. P.
mounted on attached base plate and belted direct to arbor. Range is to cut
off up to 18" and rip to 24" wide. Saws up to 20" diameter may be used and a
14" saw projects 3 The very complete safeguards built into this machine
include a cast iron belt guard, cast iron door which incloses saw below table,
steel splitter at rear of saw and a universally adjustable cage guard which
covers saw above the table. Floor space without countershaft 38"x44".
Weight 1200 lbs.
Saw Tables of this class as built by the American Wood Working Machinery
Co. involve cored, box type pedestals of modern design with broad bearing
on the floor, accurately fitted tab’es tilting to 45 degrees on machined segments
by the action of tocthed segments and direct-acting worm and handwheel,
dust hoppers with exhaust connections, ball or self-oiling babbit bearings and
competent gauge equipment. Boring and hollow chisel mortising attachments
may be fitted to any of the lino except the No. 0 and very complete guards
may be applied to the entire series.
The American No. 10 machine is the largest of the scries and carries a
table 36"x50". Range is to rip to 27" wide and cut stock 5%” thick with a
20" saw. Motor of 5 to 10 H. P. may bo bolted direct to arbor. Floor space
60 "x84 ". Weight 1100 lbs.
The American Figure 635 is a highly developed precision tool and is
designed for the most exacting work. The table is 36"x44" and the range
is to carry saws to 14" diameter and rip to 22 y2" wide and cut-off to 24" wide.
The arbor is mounted in high-grade ball bearings and the pulley is of the cork
insert type. Both the table and the gauges are accurately graduated and the
tilting ripping gauge may be used on cither side of the saw and may be set
at an angle therewith. The swivel cutting-off gauges operate on dovetailed
tongues and are located at the principal angles by taper pins. Drive is from
detached floor countershaft or from motor of 3 to 5 H. P. mounted on attached
base plate and bolted direct to arbor. Floor space 42"x84". Weight 1000 lbs.
The Oliver No. 11 machine is a high-grade, ball bearing tool in which the
usual design is reversed. This tool is built with a vertically adjustable arbor
yoke beneath the table which is fitted with tilting but no vertical adjustment.
This tool is built on a cored, box type pedestal with integral rocker seats
in which the rockers mounted on the lower side of the table operate. The
table tilting mechanism is self-locking and involves a handwheel which operates
a completely inclosed worm and gear, the latter actuating a rocker disc from
which a steel rod runs to the outer edge of table. The table is 39m"x48",
accurately planed and fitted and provided with a double-faced ripping gauge
operating on a track at edge of table together with two universal swivel
type cutting-off gauges operating in grooves on either side of the saw. The
table is graduated and filling strips are provided for closing the table grooves.
The arbor housing is a unit casting and adjusts in the vertical ways by the
action of a handwheel, bevel gears and screw. The crucible steel arbor carries
a 5" pulley for a six-inch belt and is mounted in high-grade ball bearings. Range
is to carry saws from 10" to 20" diameter and cut 514" stock with an 18" saw.
Dado heads to a maximum size of 12 "x4" may be used. Rips to 20" and
cuts off to 18" wide. Drive is from detached floor countershaft or motor of
5 to 7 \4 H. P. Gravity belt tightener is mounted at rear of pedestal. An
independent tripod carries a universally adjustable cage guard for the saw and
a cast iron dust hopper with exhaust connection covers the saw below the table.No. 863, Continued

The Universal type saw table is used in cabinet, furniture, pattern, chair
and general wood working shops for ripping, cross cutting, plowing, dadoing,
mitering and general fine fitting. It is a heavy accurately built, highly developed
tool designed for close, accurate work. The principal feature of the machine
aside from the accuracy and versatility of the adjustments is the revolving
yoke which carries two arbors and makes either a rip or a cut-off saw instantly
available, without stopping the machine, by the operation of a handwheel.
Owing to its machine tool accuracy this machine is especially adapted to pattern
work.
The American Wood Working Machinery Co. No. 30 machine is fully
graduated as to top, gauges, etc. and will cut miters, measure any angle, cut
to length or rip to width without the use of rule or any other instruments.
Range is to rip up to 27 y" wide and cut off 31 "x2" stock. An 18" saw projects
5 %" from table. Dado heads to 2 y" thick may be used. The frame is a cored
one-piece casting with three point bearing on the floor. It is fitted with a built-in
dust chute which delivers sawdust at the rear. The accurately machined
table of cast iron is 40"x48" in size and is fitted with a movable section to the
left of saws which runs on adjustable anti-friction rollers and is guided by a
closely fitted tongue and groove. This sliding table has a lateral adjustment
to open a 3" throat between itself and the stationary table on the right. The
sliding table is 17" wide and the stationary one is 23" wide with extension
to carry ripping gauge. Entire table may be tilted to forty-five degrees by
handwheel, segment gear and worm with lock. Gauges comprise three cutting-
eff and one ripping gauge. One of the cutting-off gauges is pivoted on the
sliding table and may be accurately located at the principal angles by taper
pin. A patented attachment is provided on this gauge whereby all intermediate
angles are readily found. Used in connection with this gauge is a patented
system of tabk graduations by means of which stock may be cut to any required
angle, where length is known, without calculation. Both the stationary and
the sliding tables are grooved for the tongues of a pair of swivel cut-off gauges.
These tongues are full length of table and w hen out of use are reversed and left
in the grooves so that surface of table may be unbroken. The ripping gauge
is set in the approximate location by means of taper pins fitting in a series
of holes in the table and is adjusted to accurate size by a micrometer rack
and pinion mechanism. This gauge tilts to an angle of 45 degrees with the
table and may be used either on the sliding table, which may be locked in
place or on the stationary table at the right of saw\ It is also adjustable at an
angle w'th the saw for core box work. A self-contamed segment gauge can
be supplied as an extra and is used for cutting segments used in pattern work.
The arbor yoke comprises a disc 22" in diameter, which journals in a bored
bearing in the machine frame, and has a trunnion at the other end which is
journaled in the rear wall of frame. The bearings in the frame are shouldered
to prevent end motion and the large di-sc supports the saws rigidly close to
the cutting point. This yoke which carries the two arbors is rotated to bring
either saw into position by a worm and gear of quick pitch operated by aNo. 866, Continued
handwheel. The arbors are of hardened steel 1A" diameter and run in relf-
oiling bearings with pulley 4y,"x6Au between. A special sleeve is used in

This type of saw table is used for general cuttmg off square or at an angle,
ripping, plowing, dadoing, etc. The design contemplates an cpc-n type cast
frame which carries a nen-tdting cast iron table in two sections which are
laterally adjustable to open a throat between them. The arbor is mounted
on a carriage W’hich travels on vertically adjustable ways beneath the table
and is actuated by a pedal or by a pedal controlled friction drive. The saw
or dado head travels in the slot between the two sections of the table. The
countershaft is attached at rear of frame and belt tension is maintained by
swing idlers. Carriage may be locked in the center of the table and used for
ripping. The table is graduated and is fitted with both cutting-off and ripping
gauges.
The American No. 7 }4 machine carries a table 37 }4"x46". Carriage
is pedal operated and fitted with ball bearings wh'ch travel on the ways with
little friction. Ways are vertically adjustable through range of 1 Vo". A 16"
saw will cut off 16 "x4" or 20 "xl" stock. An 8" dado head is fitted and wfil
cut to %" deep and expand to 2" w'de. Motor of 5 to 7 jtj H. P., 900 R. P. M.,

wheels traveling on accurately planed tracks fitted with adjustment for wear.
Carriage and ways have a 2" vertical adjustment by handwheel and spiral
gearing. Pedal which brings the saw forward is counter-balanced and saw
returns automatically. Adjustable stops are fitted to pedal to limit carriage
travel. Arbor is of crucible steel, will carry dado heads to 4 " wide and is driven
by a 4"x5 ]4" pulley. A 14" saw projects 3 %" and saws to 20" may be used.
Maximum carriage travel 20y2", distance saw to ripping gauge 13 14". The
patented method of belting comprises a sw:ng frame fitted with one pulley
only, in place of two as is usual. This pulley bears on the slack side of belt
and is used in connection with a second idler rigidly mounted in the frame of
machine. The belt runs from the arbor pulley under the rigid idler and to
the countershaft driving pulley, thence under the swing idler and to the arbor.
This belting plan is stated by the builders to be very easy on the belt and
to give the saw more cutting power with a three-inch belt than the old method,
with two swing idlers, gives with a five-inch belt. The cut-off gauges are
fully adjustable in the “T” slots of the table and are fitted with stop rods.
The ripping gauge is of the tilting type and is fitted with screw adjustment
for close setting. Equipment includes a dado head of the expanding type,

Scraping Machines.
Builders:
American Wocd Working Machinery Co.
Baxter D. Whitney & Son, Inc.
The Scraping Machine is designed for producing by power on a large
scale the same results obtained by the cabinet maker with a hand scraper.
The machine is especially adapted for use in furniture, cabinet, desk, table,
veneer panel factories, hardwood flooring mills as well as other wood working
plants which have flat surfaces to finish. It produces smooth surfaces that
are true and even. Figured woods passed through a Scraping Machine have
the beauty of color and grain brought out clearly and sharply with no zigzag
marks, no wave marks or scratches and no rounded edges or ends.
The essential features of this machine comprise a thin knife, with its
edge turned or “tuned,” mounted in a stock which is fitted in the bed of machine
in such position that edge of knife projects very slightly above bed. Over
this knife the stock is fed at a high rate of feed by a powerful feed compored
of smooth rollers. The turned edge of knife removes a continuous shaving
the full width of the stock. This shaving may be as thin as the thinnest tissue
or as heavy as the thickest wrapping paper.
This machine like the Triple Drum Sander is not designed to compete
with the cabinet surfaccr in thicknessing stock or in taking heavy cuts. Its
use contemplates tak’ng the stock after surfac'ng and cleaning the surface
to a true even fim'sh ready for the filler. The machine removes a shaving
of equal thickness from all the stock and if the stock varies in thickness before
scraping it will vary by the same amount after scraping.
The Whitney machines for this work are built in 15", 26", 30", 42", 50"
and 64" widths all of which except the 15" machine embody the following
general details of construction.
The frame of machine is composed of heavy cored side members connected
by cross girts below snd by the roll housing at the top. The bed which carries
the tables and the knife stock is composed of long wedge shaped castings
at each side, and is supported and adjusted vertically by sliding wedges which
operate by power on tracks planed up on the side members of the frame. Those
wedges are actuated by worm driven screws and have a bearing the full length
of bed. Range of adjustment is to take stock from }4" to 3" thick as shown
by graduated scale. The power hoist is fitted with automatic limit stops
at each end of the travel and controlled by hand lover. The tables are bolted
to tongued and grooved seats on the side wedges of the bod and are fitted
with side ledges to guide the stock through the machine.
The standard machines are fitted with five top feed rolls and four bottom
rolls. Two pair of these rolls are infeed and two pair are outfeed, the fifth
top roll being located directly over the knife stock where it serves the double
purpose of a pressure and a feed roll. The rolls are cast on steel shafts, ground
true on dead centers, run in removable boxes and are driven from main driving
shaft by a heavy, cut gear train. All pinions are cut from the solid, heat treated,
steel blanks and the entire train is lubricated by grease cups through hollow
shafts. The top rolls are spring tensioned and the tension may be simul-
taneously adjusted by one handwheel. Tension of pressure roll is independently
regulated by handwheel at each end. The entire system of gearing is inclosed
in cast iron casings provided with inspection doors. Main drive shaft is fitted
with tight and loose pulleys 20" diameter by 5a" face which are driven at
500 R. P. M., giving 82 F. P. M. feed.
The knife stock within which the knife is mounted rests upon the bed
and is adjustable therewith. Adjusting wedges are fitted at each end of the
stock for the purpose of lining same with the rolls. Knife stock draws out from
the right side of machine and when in position for cutting is locked by a binder
wedge. Stock is made in two sections between which the knife is clamped.
The knives are center slotted so that both edges may be used and areNo. 878, Continued
made from a special steel. The knife grinder which is part of the standard
equipment is used for grinding a keen edge on the knives and at the same
operation turning or “tuning” this edge. Two knife stocks are employed
and the usual custom is to mount the knife in the stock at the bench wh'le
the machine is in operation. By this system the productive machine time is
kept up to a high point. The stocks are very readily changed and a knife sotting
gauge of the indicator type is used in connection with a schedule which gives
the proper projection of knife for various woods is part of the equipment.
Toothed knives with teeth of varying degrees of fineness may bo used
for preparing stock for gluing and a special 30" machine is built for this work.
This machine carries two knife stocks, one above the other so that both sides
of core stock may be toothed at once. Special tandem machines arc also
built involving two knife stocks one behind the other. The 30" tandem
machine ;s fitted with 14 driven feed rolls and is used for finishing stock that
would otherwise require two passages of the machine. The 15" tandem machine
is fitted with six upper and four lower feed rolls which may be solid or sectional
typo. When fitted with sectional rolls and divided table this machine is
especially adapted to feeding flooring and has range to feed three strips of a
maximum width of 3 %" at one time. The standard 15" machine will work
stock as short as 12" and may be built to open to 6" although 3" opening is
regular. This machine differs from the larger machines in some details among
which are the handwheel hoist for bed in place of power hoist, five feed rolls
in place of nine, etc. Any of these machines may be fitted with thin, high-speed
steel knives and used after the fashion of the English fixed knife machines
for surfacing box and other soft wood stock direct from the resaw.
The entire series of Whitney Scraping Machines with the exception
of the 15" single and the 64" size are driven by 20"x5}4" pulleys which turn
500 R. P. M., and may be driven by direct coupled or belted motor of 5 to 10
H. P. The 15" single machine is driven by 20"x3 \i" pulley at 400 R. P. M.
Motor of 3 H. P. may be belted or coupled. The standard feed rate for all
machines, except the 15" single which feeds 87 F. P. M., is 82 F. P. M. Other
feeds up to 100 F. P. M. may be fitted.
The American Wood Working Machinery Co.’s scraping machine is built
in 12", 20", 30" and 42" w'dths, the two smaller machines open for 3" stock
and the larger for 4". Those machines differ from the Whitney machines in
the fact that the bed is mounted solidly on top of the base and the entire
top works with pressure and feed rolls is adjusted for thickness of stock on
four heavy screws, one at each corner. The two smaller machines are fitted
with four feed rolls driven by heavy gearing and the 30" and 42" machines
carry eight rolls. Top rolls on any of the machines may be of solid or sectional
type and the pressure roll over the knife is spring tensioned. The standard feed
rate on all machines is 90 F. P. M. Motor of 3 H. P. may be bolted to the 360
R. P. M. drive shaft on the two small machines and one of 5 H. P. to the
500 R. P. M. shaft on the larger machines.

Screw Driving Machines, Flexible Shaft Type.
Builders:
L. G. McKnight & Son Co.
Neil & Smith Electric Tool Co.
Stow Mfg. Co.
N. A. Strand & Co.
This type of screw driving tool is used for the same class of work as the
Portable Motor Driven Screw Driving Tool and due to the fact that the
driving motor is detached they are in some cases lighter and easier to handle.
The McKnight machine which is used extensively in chair assembling
work involves two flexible shafts pendant from a self-contained ceding fixture.
One of the shafts carries a friction controlled screw driving bit and the other
a boring bit. The ceiling fixture may be driven by belt from motor or lino shaft.
The Neil & Smith tool involves the same type of friction driven screw
driving device as is employed in that company’s electric tools. This friction
mechanism is mounted at the end of a flexible shaft direct connected to a motor
located in any convenient place. The shaft is driven at motor speed and the
reducing mechanism is fitted at the end with the friction driving device. This
tool is built in various sizes weighing from 5 lbs. to 23 lbs. including shaft and
running at 200 to 300 R. P. M.
The Stow screw driving tools are furnished for use in connection with
any flexible shaft and involve a friction driving mechanism which slips when
the desired tension on the screw is reached. The bit is fitted with a centering
spring which makes the engagement of bit and screw slot easy.
The Strand Screw Driving and Nut Setting Tools are built in five sizes
and involve the regular caster mounted stand which is used in connection
with the portable tools of that company’s make and is described under Flexible
Shafts. This stand is fitted with a motor and a direct attached three-speed
countershaft from which the flexible shaft is driven direct. The screw driving
bit operates at right angles to the driving shaft and embodies a worm
gear speed reduction, release clutch, tapered friction drive and motor reversing
switch. The screw head is centered by a spring chuck. The screw driver
bit may be replaced by suitable nut driving sockets. This tool is built with
motors ranging from '/i to 2 H. P. and with shafts A "x60 ", A"x60", y2 "x72 ",

Screw Driving Machines, Automatic Hopper Feed.
Builders:
Reynolds Machine Co.
The Reynolds machines are power driven tools of the completely automatic
type and are used for driving wood or machine screws. The hoppers have
capacity for a gross or more of screws which are dumped in promiscuosly
and automatically arranged and fed to the vertical, friction driven, pedal
controlled, driving spindle which makes from 400 to 900 R. P. M.
The machines of any type may be fitted with a vertical, single spindle
or cluster head, boring attachment for use where it is desirable to bore before
setting the screws. This attachment is operated by an independent pedal.
The standard machines will handle without change, three consecutive sizes
of screws. Interchangeable parts are provided which are readily mounted
and increase this range as desired.
An automatic stop is incorporated in the spindle drive whereby the screws
may be sot tight or loose or just started and left for future adjustment. For
use in setting screws in deep counter bores special magnetic chucks are fitted.
These chucks are energized by dry cell current at the instant the screw is
driven, at other times the circuit is open. The output of the machines with
a boy or girl operator will run from 800 to 1200 screws per hour and in
some cases as many as 2000 have been driven. The Reynolds Co. are prepared
to design and build special machines for any work outside the range of the
standard types.
The machines are built on a cored type column with broad floor base,
which carries at the top the vertical friction driven spindle which is pedal
operated and driven from horizontal shaft fitted with tight and loose pulleys.
The table is vertically adjustable, within a wide range, on the front face of
column, by a screw and crank. At the left of the driving spindle is located
the cone shaped hopper which is intermittently rotated, synchronously with
the strokes of the spindle, by worm gearing. The screws being dumped into
this hopper fall by gravity to the outer edge where they hang through a slot,
points down. At each stroke of the spindle the hopper is rotated to bring
one of the screws into position over the mouth of the vertical feed tube. The
automatic mechanism picks off one screw which is deposited in the feed tube
in step with the strokes of the driving spindle. Passing down the tube by
gravity the screw enters the spring chuck and is held by the head, point down
and concentric with the driving spindle. The spindle is then depressed, the
driving bit engages the slot in screw and the screw is driven.
The No. 1 machine ;s designed for driving the smaller screws to a maximum
of 1" long. Will drive screws in the center of a 12" circle and in stock 18"
high. Gap frame may be fitted which will drive in center of 30" circle in stock

The No. 4 machine has the same range as regards size of screws, speeds,
horse power, etc. as the No. 3 and will drive in the center of a 48" circle onwork 30" high without the gap frame. Base 20"x40". Machine 86" high.
The No. 5 machine is a combination of the No. 4 frame w:th No. 2 mech-
anism and is designed for driving medium sized screws in large work.
The No. 10 machine is of the radial typo and the double jointed frame
swings from a plate designed for mounting on a wood post. Plate carries
vertical shaft and horizontal tight and loose pulley shaft. Bolted through
intermediate vortical shaft to the driving shaft on the end of the second radial

gauge and up to 3" long. The spindle is speeded at 400 to 450 R. P. M. and
a motor of 3 H. P. may be belted to the drive shaft which turns 1000 R. P. M.
Another typo of Reynolds machine is designed for setting screws in large
work which is built up at the bench or in special forms and requiring screws
to be driven before removal therefrom. This machine involves a radial machine
of the standard type mounted on a cast column. This column is mounted
upon a truck with four flanged wheels which operate on floor tracks and the
screw driving head is carried on a horizontal I. B. pivoted to a vertically
adjustable saddle operating on the column. The driving head is mounted
on roller bearings and is readily positioned laterally on the I. B. Power is
derived from a small motor mounted on the vertically adjustable saddle and
transmitted to the driving head through a splined shaft parallel with and
below the I. B. In the operation of this machine three motions of the driving
head are available, the swing of the I. B. arm on its pivots, the lateral motion of
the head on the arm and the movement of the entire machine on the floor tracks.
Range is to cover a width of 36" at a 30 degree angle or a width of nearly 48"
in direct cross fines at right angles. This is only one of various special tools
built by the Reynolds Co. who are the originators and sole builders of this
class of machinery and are very progressive in adapting their product to special
conditions.

Shafting Leveling Apparatus.
Builders:
Kinkead Mfg. Co.
This device involves a special engineers level with eleven-inch telescope,
1 ts" object glass with specially ground lenses, three-inch horizontal circle
with vernier and patent adjustments and various other features together
wnth a portable and a stationary target.
In using this device the portable target in hung from the shaft to be leveled
and is provided w'th a compensating adjustment which not only finds the center
of the shaft but remains invariable regardless of the size of the shafting. In
other works the target will be suspended at exactly the same distance below
the center of a 2 " or a 4 " shaft without adjustment. The fixed target is adjusta-
ble and is fitted with an acetylene gas lamp attachment and various other
attachments such as offsets, extensions, balances, rest blocks, etc.
This apparatus ’’s designed to produce results far more accurate than
can be obtained by the older mehods of lining shafting. A test made on a run
of shafting 3il"x85'0" showed a friction load of 10 H. P. This shaft was then
aligned by competent millwrights using silk lines and spirit level and a second
test showed friction load of 7 >£ H. P. A third test after the shaft had been
aligned by the use of this apparatus showed a friction load of only 4 H. P.No. 882.

This class of machinéis used fora largo variety of irregular shaping, round-
ing, moulding, grooving, rabbeting, etc. It comprises essentially a cast base
which carries two high-speed, vertical spindles projecting through the cast
iron table. The knives are clamped between slotted collars by a nut at the
top of spindle and varicus special heads are used. The spindles are fitted with
a fine vertical adjustment with range to drop either spindle below the table
surface and may be fitted with separable top sections so that for work with
small radius curves very small spindles may be used and may be replaced
with more rugged sections for heavier work. In automobile body and other
heavy work cutter heads up to 10" or 12" long are often used and in this case
a top steady bearing involving a steel post bolted rigidly to the table in the
rear of the spindle and fitted with an adjustable and removable bearing is
necessary. The spindles are mounted in very competent bearings of babbit,
bronze or ball type and very thorough provision for lubrication is made. The
bronze bearings arc usually of the tapered type. The rotation of the spindles
is usually “out” or counter clock-wise although when the machine is to be
used exclusively on small work the spindles are run “in” as the small work
can be handled more quickly between the spindles than on the outside of the
two spindles. In shaping irregular work, forms or templates of wood arc mounted
on the stock to be shaped and used in connection with guide collars on the
spindles. The spindles are usually surrounded by concentric table rings and
in sone cases these rings are fitted with a hub on one side and when reversed
are employed as concentric, stationary, guide collars. The machine is usually
bu’lt on a cored box type base and the spindle yokes are mounted in gibbed
vertical ways on each side of the spindle and are adjusted vertically by screw
and hand wheel. The spindles are very accurately fitted, made from special
high-grade steel, and are driven at 4500 to 6500 R. P. M. by quarter-turn belts
from a detached countershaft, which is usually fitted with a pedal operated
belt shifter at operating station. This countershaft may be built on a self-con-
tained base and fitted with adjustable guide pulleys which are used for training
and tensioning the belts. This type of countershaft has the advantage of reduc-
ing the required floor space as it may be located closer to the machine. Motor
drive countershafts are built in two forms, one of which involves a motor of
5 to 7 Yi H. P. with double extended shaft and two driving pulleys. This motor
is mounted on a self-contained base with adjustable guide pulleys. Another
type of motor countershaft involves the use of two motors of 2 to 3 H. P.
or more mounted in a vertical position on a self-contained base and driving
the spindles by open belts from pulleys mounted on the motor shafts.

The class of machines covered under this heading represents the highest
development of the modern, direct motor driven shaping machine designed
for intensive production work. The drive involves mounting the rotor of
a 2 to 7 ^ H. P. high-speed, alternating motor directly on the spindle and
incorporating the stator and motor housing in the adjustable yoke. The cast
aluminum rotor employed on some machines of this class weighs less than
a cast iron pulley of equal capacity. The motors which are of 3 phase, 60-cycle
type are driven at speeds of 7200 R. P. M. and upward through the use of a
Frequency Changer to step up the alternations. The spindles are of special
alloy steels, large in diameter and very accurately fitted, and are mounted
in very competent ball bearings or bearings of the tapered bronze type. Very
complete provision for lubrication is made, most of the machines enbodying
some sort of oil circulating system. Spindles may or may not be fitted with
separable top sections and steady bearings. The machines in general are heavy,
accurately built tools embodying all the best features of the belt driven machines
with some additional refinements. Floor space is approximately same as size
of table.

Shaping Machines, Double Spindle, Friction Driven.
Builders:
New Advance Machinery Co.
The shapers built by the above company are full ball bearing tools of
high-grade construction and embody a different driving method from any
other shaper now on the market. They are built in belt or direct motor driven
types.
This machine is built on a cored box type base and carries the horizontal
drive shaft, with bevel friction discs, within the base. This shaft is mounted
in two large ball bearings which are housed in the walls of the pedestal, and
carries a single tight driving pulley which may be driven by belt from any
direction or may be driven by a direct coupled motor of 2 to 5 H. P. The direct
motor driven type embodies a standard 5 H. P., 1800 R. P. M. motor with
double extended shaft. This motor is mounted within the base of machine ar.d
carries the bevel friction discs on each end of the motor shaft.
The bevel friction discs are 1514" to 17" in diameter with replaceable
fibre faces 2%" to 3 >4" wide. The shaper spindle is splined into a sleeve
which is mounted in two large ball bearings and fitted with a cast iron friction
cone. The sleeve is adjusted by hand lever to bring the cast iron cone into
driving contact with the fibre disc. The upper section of the shaper spindle
is mounted in two ball bearings spaced 8" to 12" apart and is vertically adjustable
by handwheel and screw. The housing which carries the two spindle bearings
is mounted in gibbed ways and may be rigidly locked in any posit’on. The
spindles and friction drive mechanism are completely inclosed by hinged cast
iron doors so that no moving parts, except that portion of the spindles above
the table, are visible. The spindles are of crucible steel, accurately fitted and
provided with separable top sections. Top steady bearings are fitted when
required. Sp’ndle speeds 4000 to 7000 R. P. M. Three sizes are built as per
the following table:

This type shaping machine is used more especially on job work where
it has the advantage that only one cutter or at most one pair need be fitted
up for special work. Except for certain kinds of special work it is more of
a jobbing than a production tool.
A typical machine of this type is built on a cored pedestal which carries
a cast iron table 32"x36". The spindle is of crucible steel, 1A" diameter
and is mounted in plain babbit, conical bronze or ball bearings, carried in
a vertically adjustable yoke and driven at 5000 R. P. M. by belt from pulley
on vertical shaft of the self-contained countershaft. The horizontal member
of the countershaft carries two compressed paper cone shaped frict'ons e:ther
of which is engaged with the cast iron bevel cone on the vertical shaft by
pedal located at operating station. Motor of 3 to 5 H. P., 900 to 1200 R. P. M.
may be coupled to the horizontal drive shaft. Floor space including counter-
shaft 33 "x96". Weight 1100 lbs.
This type machine is also often built with an ordinary countershaft
and used where the work does not require a reversing spindle. It is also used
when fitted with separable top spindle sections for dovetailing, routing and
similar work.

This class of shaping machines is designed for production work of a nature
requiring but one spindle which is not usually fitted with a reversing motion.
The Smith machine however is fitted with reversing motor. Builders of this
motor driven machine are prepared to furnish the same machines with belt
drive from a plain countershaft. These motor driven machines embody
the features of the double spindle motor driven machines of the same builders
and are high-grade tools well adapted to much of the work ordinarily run on
the double spindle machines.
The Goodspeed No. 55 machine (No. 25 is the belt driven counterpart)
is built on a cored, box typo pedestal which carries the well ribbed cast iron
table 33"x33" in size. Spindle hole in table is 7 %" diameter and is fitted with
concentric rings. Separable top spindle sections are 1 !4" and 1 y%" diameter
by 6" to 9" long. Spindle is mounted in large Skayef ball bearings carried
in a yoke which adjusts in vertical, gibbed, ways. Rotor of a 1 Yi or 2 H. P.
alternating motor is mounted on spindle, and the stator and housing are
built into the yoke. Spindle speeds of 7200 R. P. M. or more through the use
of a Frequency Changer. Floor space 33"x36". Weight 1000 lbs.
The Whitney No. 55 machine carries the spindle in a counter-balanced
yoke and is fitted with pedal to raise same to the cut or lower it below the
tabic surface. This device is designed for routing and sinvlar work. Table
is of cast iron, accurately machined and fitted with concentric rings. Spindle
is of special steel, fitted with separable top sections, and carries the rotor of
the driving motor the stator and housing of which are built into the yoke.
Bearings are of conical bronze or high-grade ball type. Table is 32,/x32"
which is also the floor space- of machine. Weight 1300 lbs.
The Whitney No. 65 machine is the same in all respects as the foregoing
No. 55 machine except that the pedal movement of spindle yoke is omitted,
and the yoke is adjusted by screw' and handwheel. Weight 1200 lbs. Both
the No. 55 and No. 65 embody the features of the well known Wlvtney shapers.
The Ohver No. 487 machine is built on a cored, box type pedestal which
carries the cast iron table, 36"x36" in size. Spindle is of very carefully fitted
cruc'ble steel, 2 y2" :n diameter and is monted in two large, high-grade ball
bearings which are carried in a yoke with vertical adjustment sufficient
to lower spindle below table surface. The rotor of a 3 to 5 H. P. high-speedalternating motor is mounted on the spindle and the stator and housing are
built into the ycke. The bearings are flooded with oil by a circulating pump
at the lower end of spindle. This machine may also be driven by a 3 H. P.

Shaping Machines, Double» Adjustable Center Drawer Fitting Type.
Builders:
Oliver Machinery Co.
The Oliver No. 488 machine is a new tool especially adapted to the fitting
of drawers on the system developed by Mr. B. A. Hathaway of the Estey
Mfg. Co., Owosso, Michigan.
This machine is also adapted to various kinds of production work and
may be fitted with sliding carriages of any type required. It comprises
essentially two ball bearing, direct motor driven, single spindle shapers mounted
on one bed plate. One of the machines is mounted in a fixed position at the
right end of the bed plate and the other is adjustable on horizontal ways,
by the operation of a large handwheel, to bring the spindles from a maximum
center distance of 12" or less to a maximum of CO" or more. The spindles
carry the rotors of 3600 R. P. M., motors of 3 to 5 H. P. and are mounted in high-
grade ball bearings. Lubrication is very complete and involves an oil pump at
the lower end of spindle which forces oil to the top of the upper bearing from
the bottom of which bearing it flows through a tube to the top of the lower
bearing and thence to the pump for re-circulation. This same system of
lubrication is used on all the Oliver ball bearing shapers. Motor control is
mounted on each pedestal.
When used for the Hathaway system of drawer fitt’ng the machine is
provided with a special carriage in which the assembled drawer is clamped,
the drawer front being held in very exact relation to the cutter heads. The
drawer thus mounted is shoved between the cutter heads and the sides
are plowed and top and bottom edges cut in exact truth with the front.
This process greatly decreases the hand work required in fitting drawers for
high-grade case work.No. 892
Shaping Machines, Serpentine Moulding or Twist Type.
Builders:
P. Pryibil Machine Co.
Shawver Co.
Valley City Machine Works.
The Valley City machine is used for cutting single cr multiple strands
closedor open spirals or plain flutes on columns, spindles, legs, posts, balusters
etc., of regular or irregular contour. The degree of twist may vary from ore
turn in 1 yx" to one turn in 72" and may be right cr left hard pitch. Range
is for stock from ys" to 10" diameter and the maximum distance between
centers is 72".
The machine is built on a cored pedestal of box type with floor flange
23"x35" in size and countershaft in the base. The main shaft is mounted
horizontally at the top of pedestal in integral bearings and is bolt driven
from the countershaft. Pivoted concentrically with the main shaft is the
cutter bead spindle housing w7hich may be swivelled through 180 degrees
on graduated arcs, thus locating the cutter head spindle, which is mounted
in the housing at right angles to the mam shaft, at any angle from one horizontal
position to the other.
The swivelling cutter head spindle housing carries a short shaft located
parallel with and belted from the main shaft around which the housing swivels.
This short shaft is belted to the vertical cutter head spindle by a belt passing
around idle pulleys which are also mounted on the housing.
The top of the pedestal in front of the mam shaft’s machined to receive
the oscillating base upon wffiich the gibbed table slides are mounted. The
table which is of heavy ribbed beam section is mounted on those slides and
carries upon its machined top surface the adjustable indexing centers. The
cutter head being located in a fixed position the table with the blank mounted
upon centers is traversed past it by rack and pinion and hand crank feed, the
centers being rotated by suitable rack and gearing synchronously with the
feed of the table.
For following the contour of irregularly shaped work the oscillation
of the tabic on its base is governed by guide rollers on the bottom of the table
at each end. These rollers are controlled by templates carried on brackets
projecting from the pedestal under the table at each side. The depth of cut
is governed by the transverse movement of the table upon its slides, this move-
ment being actuated by counter-balanced hand levers and governed by suitable
adjustable stops. The cutter head is four sided and carries flat kmves ground
to a template. A steady rest for the support of light stock travels with the
table and for the support of heavy stock a stationary rest is located just back
of the cut. A separate spindle is provided for open twist work and is readily
mounted in place of the regular spindle. Motor of 3 H. P., 1000 to 1200
R. P. M. may be coupled to the countershaft which drives the cutter head
spindle at 4000 R. P. M. Floor space 56"xl00"x65" high. Weight 1700 lbs.
The Shawver Fluting and Twist machine embodies iron and steel working
parts designed for mounting on a wooden bench and is used for fluting as w7ell
as cutting spiral beads or twists on columns, newels, balusters, chair stock,
table legs, bed posts, etc.
The design comprises a cast iron housing, to be mounted on the bench
top, W'hieh carries a horizontal stud located laterally of the bench. On the
end of stud the cutter head spindle yoke is mounted with the spindle at right
angles to the stud and so fitted that it may be swung through 180 degrees from
horizontal position to the opposite horizontal position. Drive is by 1
endless leather belt from an overhead countershaft or motor. Two guide
pulleys on shaft at back of housing have sufficient lateral motion on the shaft
to be self-adjusting to any position of the cutter head spindle. Both the
cutter head, which carries eight flat knives set at a 30 degree angle with theNo. 892, Continued
center line of spindle, and the pulley are located between the bearings one of
which is removable.
The centers are mounted on a wood template the front edge of which is
shaped to accord with the contour of the stock to be cut. This template
makes contact with a roll mounted in the housing directly under the cutter
head and guides the work in the same manner as a form us,ed on a double
spindle shaper. The live center is rotated by a rack md gear train the rack
being mounted on independent stands on the bench top. Change gears are
provided to give one turn in 1 M ", 3", 4 14", 6" or 7 y2" and other ratios may be
fitted as required. In operation the blank is mounted on the centers and
traversed by hand past the angularly positioned, rap’dly revolving cutter
head, the pointed, shear cutting knives producing the adjacent halves of two
beads at each cut. The centers are then indexed by the hand crank and another
cut made following the same spiral course which is regulated by the rack and
change pears which cause the live center to rotate synchronously with the travel
of the blank past the cutter herdBStraight fluting may bo accomplished by
setting tbc cutter head spindle in a vertical position and disengaging the
gear drive to the live center. The wooden table upon which this machine
is mounted shou’d be 30" high, 32" wide and double the length of the longest
stock worked. The standard size machine has range for 36" stock between
centers and may be driven by a motor of 2 to 3 H. P. mounted overhead and
belted direct to the spindle. Floor space 32"x72". Weight 420 lbs.
The Fyribil machine will produce all kinds of spiral or rope moulding
of any required shape on stiaight, tapered, curved or oval blanks. It v/ill

fluting. One to six strands may be cut on stock up to 8" diameter by five,
six or eight feet long. The degree of twist is variable from one turn in
1 y2" to one turn :n 10 Pi". Cutters of the bevel edge type are mounted in
slotted collars and are so presented to the wood that there is very little tendency
to tear out. This machine is budt on a one-piece cast frame with swiv. lling
cutter head spindle housing at the rear. Spindle is belted in the same manner
as the Valley City machine. The table with centers is operated longitudinally
by hand crank and laterally by levers. Motor of 2 to 3 H. P. may bo belted
direct to spindle. Floor space 60"x72", 84", 108". Weights 2100 lbs., 2300

discs, tackle block sheaves and similar work, on the top surface and on the
outer circumference at the same operation. Capacity is such that 40 to 60
pieces per hour may be smoothly shaped.
Machine is built on a cored pedestal with broad floor flange and a housing
with vertical sl'des at the top. Below the top housing is a second housing
with its face in a vertical plane and on that face horizontal slides. The vertical
slides of the top housing carry a saddle on which is mounted the horizontal
cutter head spindle which carries the head used for dressing the top surface
of the work. This spindle drives from pulley on outer end and carries on its
inner end a four-knife shear cutting head, runs in self-oiling bearings and is
capable of adjustment vertically, horizontally or at an angle in either direction.
Operation of a hand lever brings the head to cutting position or raises and
locks it out of the way while stock is being mounted. The lower or cutting
position of head is established by suitable stops.
On the horizontal slides is mounted another saddle which carries the
vertical, worm driven shaft at the top of which is mounted the work holding
face plate. A heavy knee projecting from, and g’bbed to, the main pedestal
carries a vertical cutter head spindle. Th;s spindle is belt driven from a
floor countershaft and carries at the top a special eight-knife moulding head.
The yoke which carries this spindle is adjustable horizontally and vertically
and once set for a certain job remains stationary, the movement of the faceplate bringing the outer circumference of the work into contact with the head.
In operation the work holding face plate is moved back away from the
cutters by the operation of a lever operated rack and pinion, blank is then
mounted and the saddle moved in, against a stop. Horizontal top cutter
head is then lowered by the hand lever, and one or two automatic revolutions
of the face plate finishes the work on top and edge, smoothly and neatly.

a knee at the front of the machine are two horizontal tracks on which a table
with “V” shaped rollers operates. This table is fitted with two “V” shaped
jawrs, operated by screws, in which the disc is mounted and fed to the saws
at about the level of the arbor. The clamping jaws are composed of tool steel
plates which travel between the saws and hold securely each disc after it has
been cut loose from the block. Motor of 5 to 10 H. P. is required. Floor
space 50"x56". Net weight 1800 lbs.
Disc Glu;ng Machine.
This machine ,-s used for spreading glue on the discs produced by the
two preceding machines and has range for discs up to 14" diameter. The
machine is built on a cored pedestal of round section which carries a glue
heater with steam connections. Across the top of this heater is a horizontal
shaft which carries a bronze glue spreading drum. On this shaft is mounted
a second, hollow, shaft which carries a similar glue spreading drum. These
two drums are located so that the distance between their inner edges is about
equal to the hole in the center of the discs and are given a slow rotation in
opposite directions by pulleys mounted on the outer end of the inner, solid
and outer, hollow shaft. Between the two drums is a vertical stud upon which
the disc is mounted with the side to he glued resting on the drums. The
opposite rotation of the drums instantly applies an even coating of glue to
the entire surface. Adjustable scrapers govern the amount of glue carried
up by the drums which revolve with their lower periphery immersed in the
glue. Motor required pi H. P. Floor space 27"x29". Net weight 900 lbs.
Disc Gluing Press.
This is a companion machine to the preceding one and is handled by the
same operator. It is used for pressing up the glued d'ses into heads of the
required thickness and is capable of oxert'ng a pressure of 30 tons. The
machine is built on a cored pedestal with extended top which forms horizontal
ways for the adjustable back jaw or tail stock. Mounted on the same ways
is the traveling jaw which is caused to approach the back jaw by a screw,
4" in diameter, which is rotated in either direction by double, lever controlled
friction pulleys and cut gearing. In operation the discs as fast as glued are
slipped on to a steel spindle which has a working space 34" long. When the
spindle is filled it is mounted in the machine and pressed up and while still
under pressure a collar is keyed to the end and the assembly removed and
allowed to remain under pressure until the glue has set. Motor required,

Silent Chain Drives.
Builders:
Link Belt Co.
Morse Chain Co.
Hans Renold, Inc.
This type drive is used for transmitting power from motors to driven
machines, counter and group drive shafts, and in other places where smooth,
positive, steady motion is essential. It is built in all sizes from the smallest
up to drives of 5000 H. P. or more and if well designed and maintained will
give approximately 98% efficiency. A complete drive involves the chain
which may be of any width up to a maximum of about 18" and of any pitch
from %/i" to 3", the driving and the driven sprockets and various auxilliary
parts as indicated by local conditions.
It is always desirable and often essential that sheet steel casings be
employed to inclose the entire drive including chain and both sprockets.
These casings should be oil-tight and when fitted with oil pump and piping
provide copious lubrication and enable the drive to operate under ideal
conditions. The most desirable chain speed is 1000 to 1300 F. P. M. although
many drives are operating satisfactorily at speeds up to or even exceeding
2000 F. P. M. Where extremely quiet operation is essential wide faced, short
pitch, low speed chains operating on sprockets with a minimum of 23 teeth
are indicated.
The chain comprises a series of leaves or plates which in the Link Belt
Co.’s product range in thickness from .060" on the H" pitch to .24"
on the 2 y2" pitch. Those plates are interlocked and connected by pins to
form a flexible ribbon of any required width up to the maximum of about
18". The plates composing the chain are very accurately shaped and on one
edge are two points or teeth. In operation these chain teeth fold themselves
against the sprocket teeth on the entering side and remain stationary until
the leaving side is reached. The essential and vital principle of any silent
chain drive involves links and sprockets so shaped that radial adjustment
of the chain on the sprocket is automatic. As the pitch of the chain is increased
by wear, it must, if correctly designed, assume a larger, compensating, pitch
circle on the sprockets.
The most vital part of any chain is of course the joint and herein lies the
principal difference in the product of the above leading makers of this type
chain.
The chain made by the Link Belt Co. involves joints composed of
segmental, case-hardened, steel liners or bushings, extending the full width
of the chain and locked in broached holes in the links to prevent rotation.
The pins are also of case-hardened steel. The wear in this joint comes on
the replaceable steel bushings.
The Morse Chain Co. have developed a joint which contemplates two
pins in each joint. One of these pins is called the “seat” pin and has a plane
surface on which the other or “rocker” pin rolls as the chain is curved. This
design eliminates sliding friction leaving only the rolling friction of the rocker
pin on the seat pin.
The Hans Renold, Inc., design of joint consists of a ground, case-hardened
steel pin of large size working between case-hardened steel segmental bushings,
with 120 degree bearing, which are pressed individually into the tension side
of the holes in each link of the chain. The links are punched cold from high
tensile, heavy gauge, steel strips and the gearing faces are accurately ground.
The design is very exact and carefully worked out to the end that the relative
proportions of the pins, the bushings and the link holes insure a full and
maximum bearing surface.
To cope with lateral motion of the chain on the sprockets the Link Belt
Co.’s system involves double flanged driven sprockets as standard design.
This company also furnish a crimped wire type of retaining device which fitsthe sprocket teeth and >s made fast by two holes in the rim of sprocket into
which the ends of the wire are made.
The Morse system of lateral guiding involves guide links which project
from the balance of the chain on the inside, and travel in a peripherical groove
milled in the center of sprocket face. One or more series of these guide links
are used depending on the chain width.
With the Rcnold Silent Chain the method of guiding on the sprockets
is determined finally by (A) the chain pitch and (B) the application. The
standard method for and M" pitch chain is to fit guide links on both sides
of the chain which overlay the edges of the sprocket teeth. For chains of %"
pitch and upwards central guide links fitted in the chain and running in grooves
in the sprocket teeth are generally used, but for all sizes of chain where it is
desirable to provide the maximum lateral freedom of chain movement, flanged
driven sprockets of increased width are employed.

/
/s
The Defiance No. 6 Automatic Belt Sanding Machine is used for auto-
matically sanding spokes, single-trees, and other work of that class and employs
a cam controlled rotating device calculated to retain the original shape of the
article sanded.
The machine comprises the regular No. 4 machine (preceding paragraph)
with the addition of an automatic device for mounting and rotating the part
to be sanded. This device is composed of a driven center with square hole
to receive the spoke tenon and a steady rest for the other end of the stock.

Spoke Throat Sanding Machine, Automatic, Belt Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance No. 1 Automatic Spoke Throat Polishing Machine is some-
what similar to the automobile spoke polishing machine and is used for sanding
the throat or neck portion of wagon and carriage spokes of any size. This is
a companion machine to the No. 6 Automatic Spoke Sanding Machine described
in the preceding paragraph and is built on a heavy cored frame which carries
the driving pulley for the sand belt on a horizontal shaft at the rear of top.
The six-inch sand belt runs from this driver over two smaller idlers located
at the front of the machine immediately behind the work holding centers.
These idlers are located closely together, one above the other and in the same
vertical plane so that the portion of the belt between the idlers, which does
the cutting, is vertical and is supported both above and below the work by the
idlers.
The device provided for mounting and rotating the work is composed
of a set of three gear driven head centers fitted with square hole chucks for the
reception of the tenon end of the spoke. Opposed to these live centers arethree tail centers fitted with cup centers. These centers are mounted around
a horizontal, central shaft on the three points of a triangle and are revolved
around the central shaft at the same time that the live centers are revolving
on the^r own centers. This reel feed arrangement brings the work in each pair
of centers in contact with the sanding belt in rotation. One spoke is being
polished, another is mounted ready to take its turn and the third is being
removed from the centers at all times. The spoke being sanded is governed
in its automatic vibrating and longitudinal movement by cams. The spoke
thus being governed exactly in its relation to the sanding belt by the cams
is left true to shape with the diamond on the face sharp and true. Three
feeding speeds are available which give capacities of 500, 600 or 800 spokes

Machine is built on a one-piece frame which carries the horizontal cutter head
spindle and the countershaft. Carriage on which the spoke is mounted travels
over the cutter head and is mounted in ball and socket bearings at each end
so that the path of the carriage, and the shape of the throat, may be governed
according to the shape of the barrel portion of spoke, by a curved cam fixed
to the frame of machine over which the outer end of spoke travels. By means
of suitable linkage the outer edge of carriage travels faster than the inner
edge so as to carry the spoke over the cutters in the desired circular path.

end of vehicle wheel spokes. This is a reel feed machine which fits both sides
of the spoke at once and has capacity to finish 1200 spokes per hour.
Machme is built on a cored floor plate which carries a column on the face
of which near the top are vertical slides for the cutter head spindles. Rising
from the base at the right of the column are housings which carry the two gear
driven feed reels. The cutter head spindles are carried in yokes pivoted on
ball bearings on the saddles. The spindles carry the cutter heads between
bearings and the oscillation of the heads is governed by a cam shoe on the
yokes which rides on the barrel of spoke and governs shape of throat in agree-
ment with shape of barrel J An equalizing device is fitted to insure uniform
oscillation of the yokes. The feed reels are carried by and revolve in circular
housings and are gear driven from the outer circumference so that no spokes
or hubs are used in the reels. Both the top and bottom cutter heads are
located between the reels, the bottom cutter head spindle running in the inner
circumference of the inside reel. The outer feed reel is driven at greater speed
than is the inner reel and is fitted with dogs of considerably greater spacing
to compensate for the increased speed. This arrangement of the reels has the
effect of carrying the spoke to the cutter heads in a circular path to the extent
that the outer end of spoke swings through an arc while the inner end is passing
the cutter heads. This has the desired effect of cutting a thinner throat on
the face than on the back of spoke. Net weight 3600 lbs. Floor space

Spraying Systems for Paint and Varnish.
Builders:
De Vilbiss Co.	W. N. Matthews & Bro.
Eclipse Air Brush Co.	Paasche Air Brush Co.
International Engineering Corp. Surty Mfg. Co.
Spraying systems are widely used for the application of paints, enamels,
varnishes, laquers, etc., to a variety of products. The principle involved
contemplates the use of compressed air in connection with a hand controlled
gun or air brush which spreads the finishing material on the work in a finely
atomized state and very, evenly.	The discharge from the nozzle of the gun
is fan shaped and may be regulated in size as indicated by the work.
Two systems of supplying the finishing material to the gun are in use.
The Separate Container system contemplates an elevated vessel from which
the material flows through a hose, by gravity, to the gun. The Attached
Cup system involves a small cup attached directly to the gun from which the
material is drawn by suction. An adaptation of the separate container system
used where large quantities of the same finishing material is used involves
special pressure and discharge tubing and fittings which are readily connected
directly to the original drum in which the material is received. The air pressure
in this case, which is maintained on the drum, feeds the material to the nozzle.
The air guns or brushes are fitted with a pistol grip and trigger control
with the nozzle normally closed but under control of the trigger so that there
is h’ttle waste of material. Various auxiliary devices are employed among
which is a device for regulating the air pressure at the gun and eliminating
moisture, oil, dirt, etc., from the compressed air. This device involves a
cylinder fitted with a filtering screen and a pressure regulating diaphram
giving ranges from 5 lbs. to 100 lbs. of air per inch. Another device comprises
an electric heater through which both air and finishing material pass just before
entering the gun and are heated to the exact temperature for best results.
Both these devices are made by the De Vilbiss Co.
When work is to be sprayed that is of a size to be brought to a central
spraying station sheet steel cabinets or booths are employed. These cabinets are
of a size competent to receive the largest pieces to be finished and are fitted with
one or more electric exhaust fans in the rear which draw the fumes and discharge
them to the open air. The cabinets are fitted with wired glass windows and
powerful electric lighting devices. The work to be finished is mounted onhorses, turn tables or other devices which permit Jt to be read’ly handled and
all sides presented to the action of the spray. Special turn tables for this
service are fitted to raise and lower as well as rotate by hand or by the use
of an electric or air motor. Both the cabinets and the mounting devices
are built in a wide range of sizes to handle anything from the smallest top to
the largest automobile body.
Air compressors used in connection with spraying systems range m size
from 3"x3 '/>" to 8"x6". The smaller size compressor will furnish air for one
gun and the largest will handle 20 to 35 guns as ordinarily used. The receiving
tanks range in size from 12"x60" up to 30"x72" and are fitted with pressure
gauges, pop valves, drain valves, etc. In this service, as in any other compressed
air work, a receiving tank of ample size gives the best results.
Self-contained, portable spraying outfits comprising gas or electric driven
compressor, receiving tanks and material tanks mounted on wheeled trucks
are bu’lt in a variety of sizes and are used for painting interiors and large
special work. The guns used with these outfits are in many cases fitted with
handles six foot or more in length.
Various special spraying machines have been developed by the De Vilbiss
Co. These machines involve a series of guns mounted in fixed positions,
automatically controlled and served by turn tables, conveyors or other devices
which automatically present the work to the spray. The guns in this type
machine may be operated continuously or intermittently. Special guns
and heaters are also made for spraying hot glue.
The makers of this type of apparatus are very progressive in adapting
the;r product to special conditions and should be consulted on any finishing
problems.

Stokers for Burning Wood Refuse.
Builders:
Albngton & Curtis Mfg. Co.
The wood waste burning systems as built by the above company
contemplate the use of a non-arching shaving bunker of steel or concrete
which is located above the furnaces to be fed and into which the refuse is
deposited from the cyclone or centrifugal separator. From this bunker the
refuse is fed to the furnaces, which are preferably of the dutch oven type,
by special screw conveyors the speed of which is adjustable. Where an inde-
pendent engine is employed to drive the conveyors it may be readily controlled
as to speed through the damper regulator thus making the system ideally
automatic. The advantages of this system are that a uniform feed rate may be
maintained regardless of variation in the supply and that no excess air is blown
into the furnaces. Compressed air jets may be used m the intake just above
the furnaces to prevent fire from backing up into the shaving bunker when
the conveyor screws are not in motion. Automatic dampers inter-connected
with the levers which operate the clutches used for control of the conveyor
screws arc also used for the same purpose.No. 951.
Tallying Machines, Lumjber Meters, Reciprocating Counters.
Makers:
Adde & Co.
Durant Mfg. Co.

Lumber meters are used for measuring and recording the lineal footage
passing through planers, matchers, moulders, rip saws, resaws, etc. The
principle upon which they operate contemplates a traction wheel which is
rotated by the stock and imparts its motion to a gear and ratchet mechanism
inclosed within a dustproof case. Four or more wheels with numbers from one
to nine on their periphery are mounted side by side behind! a glass covered
slot. The entire apparatus is mounted on a base and is universally adjustable
as to position of traction wheel which is usually exactly 12" in circumference.
The Portland meters made by Adde & Co. comprise seven different
instruments. The No. 1 Meter is the lightest and is designed for use on outside
moulders and similar machines. The No. 2 is adapted for use on inside
moulders, matchers, self-feed rip saws, and by the use of special fittings, band
resaws. These two numbers are made in three sizes counting 10,000, 100,000
and 1,000,000. They are readily set back to zero. Net weight 17 lbs.
The Portland No. 3 meter is designed for heavy service on fast feed
moulders, etc., and is fitted with an elevating device and a heavy independent
main shaft which takes the strain. Steel castings are freely used in the
construction of this type which registers 100,000 to 1,000,000 feet and sets
back to zero. Net weight 25 lbs*' The Portland No. 4 Underslung Meter is
recommended for use on fast feed machines of all types. This instrument
is built on a self-contained frame designed for mounting below tho bed line
of machine. Traction wheel is mounted in a swing frame with sprang tension
and bears on the bottom of stock. Net weight 50 lbs. Other Portland meters
are the Nos. 5, 6 and 7.
The Productimeter made by the Durant Co. embodies a positive full gear
drive, large, legible figures and non-rusting parts throughout. It may bo
applied to any machine and is furnished for either in or outfeed application.
Registers to 99,999 feet and may be instantly reset to zero. Traction wheel
about 16" in circumference is fitted with a leather faced brake to prevent
spinning. .•
The Durant Co. also make a variety of counters designed for operation
by the reciprocating parts of various machines. Some of these instruments
are fitted with alarm bells.which ring as certain fixed amounts are reached.
Other types of counters are worm driven from revolving shafts and record
revolutions. Another type is electrically operated and may be located in any
desired location without regard to the actual point of contact.
The Tally-Meter is designed to be mounted on the machine so that traction
wheel rides the top of stock. It is usually located at the mfeed end. It is built
in the best possible manner to jigs and templates. Hard brass, cut gears
are used throughout. The head to which traction wheel is attached is yielding.
The entire apparatus is mounted on a universally adjustable holder. The
mechanism is so adjusted that it feeds either way, that is, stock feeding forward
through the machine adds to the total count, and when machine is reversed
and the stock backed out, the count is reduced. Registers to 100,000 feet
and is built in two styles, one to set back and the other non-set back. Net

The double-end tenoner is used for tenoning, coping and cutting off both
ends of stock at; one passage through the machine; This machine involves
two housings, one stationary and one adjustable on. horizontal ways, each
of which carries top and bottom tenon heads, cope heads and cut-off saw.
Each housing is also fitted with a chain beam in which an accurately fitted
feed chain travels. The stock to be tenoned is carried through the heads by
lugs on this chain and is held firmly down to the bed by some form of spring
tensioned pressure bar. This machine has an output many times greater
than the single-end type machine and is used largely for stock work. The single-
end machine is better adapted to job work than the; double machine but for
stock production work, there is no comparison between the two machines.
The American Figure 966 machine has. range for stock 2" to 24" wide,
\i" to 4" thick and 6" to 57" between shoulders of tenons. Used for double
cutting off without tenoning, stock up to 12" wide ranging in length from
6 y2" to 66" may, be. trimmed. On special order the minimum shoulder length
may be reduced to 4 %". Single heads cut tenons to 3" long and double heads
to 7". This machine is built on a cored, box type bed mounted on short legs
and fitted with ways for the adjustable housing which is shifted by a
friction operated power driven mechanism. Countershaft is mounted below
the bed. The saw arbors are mounted in front and above the feed chains so
that stock is trimmed before passing to the tenoning 'heads. Tenoning heads
are driven by one belt with weight tensioned binder pulley. The cope spindles
at the rear are carried on the housings and are driven by belt from vertical
countershafts mounted on arms extending from the housing and driven by belts
from the main countershaft. Tha pressure bars over the feed chains comprise
narrow lapping sections with independent spring tension and are fully adjusta-
ble. Feed chains and sprockets are of milled steel and are driven from counter-
shaft by cone pulleys and gearing which provide feed rates ranging from 9
to 18 F. P. M. A pair of vortical spindles may be fitted at the rear of the housing
and used in addition to the regular cope spindles for moulding the ends of
table filling and similar work. These spindles carry regular slotted collars
and are strongly belted from the vortical cope countershaft. Motor of 10 to 20

Tenoning Machines, Double-End, Ball Bearing, Direct Motor Driven.
Builders:
Jenkins Machine Co.
Wilkin-Challoner Co.
This class of machine represents the highest development of the double-end
tenoning machine. It is used not only for tenoning but for a wide variety
of equalizing, end shaping, dadoing and other special work such as cutting
corner joints on drawers, cedar chests, etc. squaring and rabbotting doors
and similar framed-up stock, Special relishing heads may be fitted to relish
the tenons and then drop out of the way. Automatic dado heads may be
carried on a shaft above the work and fitted to rise out of the cut at any
point. The builders of these machines are very progressive in adapting their
tools to special work.
The Jenkins No. 95 machine is built in 72" and 90" lengths to cut as
short as 5" between shoulders and to maximum widths of 24", 36", 48", or
60". This machine is built on a bed plate of heavy cored type 40" wide by
10" high. ThW bed plate is strongly brace d by lateral webs spaced on 24" centers
and weights 1800 lbs. The stationary and the adjustable housing are also
of cored one-piece type and weigh 700 lbs. each. The motor application in-
volves the cast aluminum typo of rotor mounted directly on the cutter head
arbors which are carried on high-grade ball bearings seated in the motor housing
This type of rotor weighs somewhat less than a cast iron pulley of equivalent
capacity. The entire assembly comprising arbor, rotor, bearings, stator and
housing adjusts as a unit. The motor control system involves a starting switch
and fuses for each motor in a metal case attached to end of machine. The starting
switches are magnet operated and are controlled from push button stations,
there being seven push button stations for the control of the nine motors
as follows: upper and lower right hand tenoning arbors from one station,
upper and lower left hand tenoning arbors from another station, right hand
saw arbor from another station, loft hand saw arbor from another station,
right hand cope spindle from another station, left hand cope spindle from
another station and the feed motor from still another station. A master control
stops all motors simultaneously. The upper tenoning arbor motor housing is
cast integral with the yoke and is gibbed to the vertical ways upon which
it is adjusted, through a 5" range by screw and handwheel. The lower tenoning
arbor motor housing is gibbed to the yoke and adjusted 3m" horizontally
by screw and handwheel. The lower yoke also adjusts vertically 3" by screw
and handwheel. This adjustment may be simultaneous with or inde-
pendent of the upper arbor adjustment. Both the lower yokes are fitted
with shaving flues and exhaust connections. Maximum distance between
heads is 6", minimum ya Arbors are 2 " diameter and carry round thin knife
heads with 8" cutting circle and 3 y" face for single and 6 y" for double heads.
Wing type heads are optional. Saw arbor yokes are provided with handwheel
operated adjustment of 3" vertically and 6" horizontally and carry arbors
2" diameter for 10" saws. Cope spindles are mounted in yokes fitted to tilt
to 22 degrees, adjust 2 " vertically and 4 " horizontally. All spindles and arbors
are mounted in high-grade ball bearings and fitted with oil gauge and drain
cock system of lubrication. Motor equipment is regularly as follows:
The chain ways are milled in heavy ribbed beams 11" high by 2" thick
which are cast with an integral cut-off saw refuse chute and a shaving deflector.
The large diameter chain sprockets carry four teeth and are so designed that
only the ends of the chain links make sprocket contact. Rotary adjustment
of the driving sprockets provides for chain alignment. Chain links are 1"

thick, 1 %" wide and 4" pitch. Each link is drilled and tapped for a micrometer
adjusted feed lug and ample provision is made for chain lubrication. The
pressure bar involves a heavy ribbed beam adjustably mounted above the
feed chains in the usual manner. Running idle in machined ways of this beam
is a chain composed of 44 accurately milled cast iron links' each of which is
faced with a rubber pad. This chain travels over ball bearing rolls at each
end and is actuated by the stock passing through the machine which is hold
down in a very competent manner by the rubber pads. An improved gauge
is also fitted which extends between the coping heads and, prevents stock
from shifting endwise under a heavy coping cut.
The food motor of 2 H. P., 900 R. P. M. drives a lever controlled gear
transmission which provides two rates of feed, 12 and 18 F. P. M. The adjusta-
ble housing in traversed bn the ways by a friction mechanism driving power
from the feed motor The food chains are fitted with a hand crank operated
reverse motion for use in clearing the machine in case of a jam. Floor space
98"xl34" wide by 157" to 175" long. Weight 10,000 lbs.
The Wilkin-Challoner No. 70 tenoner is a high-grade, completely motorized
ball bearing machine of the very latest typo and has range for stock 28", 48"
or 60" wide by 66" long. The standard minimum shoulder length is 7" but
on order this may be reduced to 4". The standard single heads are of the round
thin knife typo and cut tenons to 3 " long. Double heads may be fitted and the
machine adapted to cut tenons up to 6" thick by 8" long. This machine
is built on a cored, box type base 8" high, 36 y>" wide by 138" long, weighing
2000 lbs. The cutter floras and saws are all mounted directly on the shafts of
specially designed motors, of the ball bearing type, built by Louis Allis Co.
These motors may be of 110 to 550 volts as ordered. The motor control system
involves a magnetic contactor and thermal overload elenent for each motor,
mounted in a metal casing attached to machine. The contactors are controlled
from nine push button stations used for the control of thq nine motors. A
ma: ter control button stops all motors simultaneously. Tfye feed motor control
is inter-connected with that of all the arbor motors in such way as to cut
out the food motor in case of failure of any of the other motors. Both the upper
and lower tenoning arbor motors arc gibbed to the yokes mounted in vertical
ways and are adjustable vertically and horizontally through competent range.
The vertical adjustment of the tenoning heads is independent or simultaneous.
The saw arbors and cope spindles, which carry the upper and lower cope heads,
arc fully adjustable both vertically and horizontally. The saw arbors are
regularly fitted to tilt to 22 y2 degrees, this may be increased on order to 45
degrees either way. The tenon arbors are also fitted to tilt cither way to 5
degrees. Cope, spindles regularly tilt 30 degrees but this may be increased
45 degrees. The motor equipment varies according to the service and may
be as indicated below:
Saw arbors	3 to 7 34 H. P.	3600 R.	P. M.
Tenon arbors	3 to 5	H. P.	3600 R.	P. M.
Cope Arbors	3 to 10	H. P.	3600 R.	P. M.!
Feed	1	to	2	H. P.	1800 R.	P. M.
Total rating	25 to 57	H. P.
The feed chains are of 4 " pitch, composed of y2 "xl" side links and 1 "xl"
center links and travel in accurately machined ways in the heavy chain beams.
The pressure bar may be of two types, one embodying the standard sectional,
independently tensioned block type and the other involving an endless rubber
padded chain similar to that used on the Jenkins machine.. The feed motor
drives feed works through belt so that in case of a jam damage is avoided.
The adjustable housing is shifted by power from the feed motor through a
friction mechanism. Floor space required for this line of machines is 105"
to 135" wide by 150" to 216" long. Weights 12,000 lbs. to 15,000 lbs.No. 957.

under the platform and by manipulation of the handle the platform and load
is raised so that the sills clear the floor, moved to any required location and
by a reversal of the lifting process deposited and the truck released. One
truck will serve a large number of skids or platforms which may be of any special
design as indicated by the stock to be handled.

Universal Trimmers, Knife Type.
Builders:
A. E. Bauer & Son.	Oliver Machineiy Co.
J. A. Fay & Egan Co.	Perkins & Co.
The Universal Wood Trimmer is a hand operated machine used by pattern
makers, cabinet workers and other fine wood workers for making close miter
and other joints. The principle involved in this tool contemplates a thin edged,
shear cutting knife, mounted on a carriage traveling in accurate ways, and forced
through the cut by the action of a hand lever usually connected to a rack and
segment gear mechanism. The stock while being cut Is mounted against
gauges accurately located on the principal angles by taper pins making into
holes in the graduated bed of machine. Successive shavings of small thickness
are removed from the square or angular end of the wood and a very smooth,
true surface is left.
The Bauer Trimmer differs from all others in the fact that a circular
rolling knife is employed in place of the usual straight blade. This knife,
5'li" diameter with over 16" of cutting edge is revolvably mounted on a lover
operated carriage which travels in accurately fitted ways top and bottom.
At each end of the bed is a gauge which pivots on the cutting line and is subject
to adjustment to any required angle. The knife revolves as it travels giving
a true shear cut and utilizing the entire cutting edge.
The Fay-Egan Trimmers comprise the line formerly built by the Fox
Machine Co. Those machines employ fixed, straight knives set in the carriage
at an angle of 45 degrees, .with the bed. Carriage works in straight horizontal
ways parallel with the bed. Gauges are pivoted at each end and guards are
provided to protect the overhang of the knives which pass beyond the frame
at extreme positions. Triangular blocks are furnished for use in cutting
compound angles.
The Perkins Trimmers carry knives sot at an angle of 45 degrees with
the bed. Carriage travels on segmental guides which impart an additional
shear ranging from 13^ "to 1 Y" to the knives. The gauges pivot on the line
of cut and are adjustable, within a range of 135 degrees.
The Oliver Trimmers carry knives set at an angle of 45 degrees with
the bed and mounted on a carriage operating on horizontal ways parallel
with bed. The larger tools are fitted with adjustable gibbed slides for the
carriage. The beds are.completely and accurately graduated and the gauges
are located at the principal angles by taper spring plungers. Angle blocks
for cutting compound angles are provided. The No. 10 or largest Oliver
Trimmer is built on a cored pedestal 28"x37" in size and carries an accurately
graduated bed 18"x41"!with vertical adjustment through a 5* range for the
purpose of utilizing the entire width of knife. Knife carriage is mounted in
adjustable dovetail ways and is operated by large pilot wheel and cut rack
and pinion. Floor space, 28 "x41".SCHEDULE UNIVERSAL TRIMMERS.

Variable Speed Countershafts.
Builders:
E. & B. Holmes Machinery Co. Reeves Pulley Co.
Lcwcllen Mfg. Co.	Moore & White Co.
McMullen Machinery Co.
This type of apparatus is designed for installation between the source
of power and the driven machine in the same manner as an ordinary counter-
shaft. It may be connected at both the delivery and the receiving ends by
belt, rope drive, silent chain, gears or other transmission and makes readily
available a considerable range of speeds from a constant speed source.
The Reeves Transmission is built in sixteen sizes to transmit from 1 H. P.
to 150 H. P., and in nine ratios ranging from 2:1 to 16:1. The smaller sizes
are designed for either floor or ceiling mounting and the larger for floor mounting
only. Weights range from 280 lbs. up to 37,400 lbs. This machine embodies
a self-contained frame which in the larger floor type machines takes the form
of a heavy, one-piece, cored casting. In this frame are mounted two parallel
shafts, located horizontally with the ends projecting from the frame. Power
is applied at either end of one of the shafts and delivered at either end of the
other at varying speeds. The shafts are each splined and fitted with two cone
shaped discs which slide on the shafts and are mounted with the small ends
facing each other. These discs are inter-connected in such manner as to cause
opposite motion of each pairfif one pair of discs is separated on the shaft
the other pair is correspondingly brought together. All bearings are of ball,
roller or ring oiling type the thrust being taken by very competent roller type
bearings. A fabric belt shod on one or both sides with transverse, beveled,
tapered, wooden lags travels in the “V” groove formed by the two cone shaped
discs on each shaft. In operation the two discs on the driving shaft are separated
or contracted to form a "V” grooved pulley of greater or less diameter and as
the driving discs are changed the driven discs are automatically changed
to compensate for the change so that the belt length remains constant no
matter what the speed variation. The wooden lags rivetted to the belt are
beveled on the ends to correspond with the taper of the discs and are shod
with leather for better traction. The larger sizes carry lags on both sides of
the belt.
The LewelJen Transmission which is similar in principle to the Reeves is
built in fourteen sizes and twelve classes to transmit from 1 H. P. to 75 H. P.
at ratios varying from 1.5:1 up to 16:1. Two styles are built, the self-oiliingNo. 964, Continued
and the full ball bearing. The former is fitted with very competent ring-oiling
radial and self-oiling thrust bearings and in the latter type all bearings are of
high-grade ball type. The thrust bearings in this type are special radial
thrust pattern with race ways ground especially for thrust loads. The radial
bearings have race ways ground to carry the radial load and at the same
time hold the shaft endwise so that collars are not necessary. Any of this
lino may bo fitted with hand or automatic speed control.
The Holmes Variable Speed Countershaft is built in six sizes all of which
except two may be mounted on either floor or ceiling. This machine comprises
hangers and a frame which carry a horizontal shaft with pulley between
bearings. This shaft is belted from the power source and is fitted on the end
with a friction disc with slightly convex face. This disc drives a friction disc
on a second horizontal shaft located in the same frame, end to end with the
shaft from which it receives power but slightly out of line therewith so that
the driven disc contacts with but one edge of the driving disc. The driven disc
which carries on its shaft a pulley which delivers the power is fitted with
a pendant chain operated screw adjustment so that it may be located at any
point on the face of the driving disc. The driving discs range from 12 " to 24"
diameter and the ratios from 5:1 to 15:1. Weights 300 lbs. to 550 lbs.
The Evans Friction Cone Pulleys marketed by the McMullen Co. comprise
two tapered, cone shaped drums mounted one above the other in special
double hangers with the shafts in the same vertical plane. The cones are
reversed and the shafts are each fitted with a pulley, one to receive and the
other to deliver the power. The cones are separated by the approximate
thickness of a leather belt and the lower cone and shaft are vertically adjustable.
Power is transmitted from one cone to the other by an endless leather belt
of a diameter to loosely encircle the lower cone at the large end. Friction
of the upper cone on the outside and of the lower cone on the inside of this
belt transmits the power from cone to cone. A shipper fitted with guides
is employed to hold the endless circle of leather at any point on the cones
and still allow it freedom to revolve. This machine is built in a wide range of
sizes from the smallest which carries drums 12" long by 2" diameter at the
small end and 6" at the largo end, up to the largest with drums 30" long by
14" and 22" diameter. The smallest size carries a 2" belt and gives speeds
ranging from 125 to 720 R. P. M. The largest machine carries a 6" belt and
gives a speed range of 210 to 425 R. P. M.
The Moore_ & White machine involves two tapered drums mounted in
reverse position in a self-contained base designed for floor or ceiling installation.
Projecting shafts from the drums carry the driven and driving pulleys. Rotating
around each one of the drums is a belt composed of tapered lags the bevel
of which is such as to compensate for the taper of the drum and form a level
surface for the leather bolt which runs around the two drums. The block
belt on one drum transmits the power to the leather belt which delivers it
to the block belt on the driven drum. The entire assembly of block and leather
belts is shifted as a unit from one end of the drums to the other by a screw
and handwheel mechanism. This machine is built in 21 sizes with capacities
ranging from 1 H. P. to 125 H. P., and any required speed ratio.No. 965.

•t v Rotary cut veneer is produced on a machine of lathe type which revolves
a bolt, softened by boiling or steaming, against a knife mounted in a heavy
csyriagp. which is Ted forward, to keep pace with . the . decreasing diameter of
the bolt by gear .driven screws. The veneer leaves the machine in a continuous
shoot' or rjbbon which in many industries is worked directly into the finished
product, suqh as toothpicks, match • splints, baskets, fruit packages, food
containers, boxes, drums, crates, etc. Stock of this kind is known as single
pby vencer and when .marketed is subject to standard grading rules under the
fqjlpwing classifications: Select Faces,. Number One Faces, Number Two
Paiges, Racks, Drawer Bottoms, Center Stock, Cross Banding, Number One
Dimension, Numbqr ,Two Dimension, Log Run and Flitch Stock. Single
P$y veneer ranges in thickness, from A" to y" and special veneers as thin
as./l-12D:'/. and as thick as y2" can be cut under certain conditions from some
lands of . stock,. Ordinary veneer is being cut from practically all varieties
ofyWood,. both hard and soft.
■r.i rRlywood is the product obtained by gluing together two or more layers
of; yeneer with the grain of . each ply running at right angles to that of the
adjacent; ply .and is: ordinarily composed of threo to five plies. Due to the
recent , advances in thb art of water-proof gluing, plywood is rapidly coming
into jgorieral uio as: substitute for solid stock and is used extensively in the
manufacture of furniture, musical instruments, cabinets, chairs, interior finish,
etpi' It is also used in shipbuilding, automobile and aircraft construction.
;sh . The size of a veneer lathe is determined by the swing and length of knife.
Making'due allowance for variation in cross cutting the bolt and for the amount
trimmed from the sheet by the cut-off spurs the net . length of the veneer will
bo'about four inches less than the length of kinfe. The log when cut to length
fóri theidthc is called a bolt or block and the heart which remains when the
bbltihas been cut down to the diameter of the chucks is called the core.
r.u Veneer' lathes are necessarily very heavy massive tools and comprise,
in general, the frame or bed which is built in various types all of which are of
hoary construction and designed to carry all the working parts of the machine;

by means of large cut gears. The pressure bar is a heavy casting which carries
an accurately fitted steel bar which bears against the bolt at the cutting point
and serves the double purpose of compressing the wood and forming an
accurately gauged opening which insures a uniform thickness of veneer. The
pressure bar is usually fitted with lever or cam operated releasing device
for quick removal for the purpose of clearing splinters and accurate return
to original position. Spurs are small knives mounted in holders adjustable
lengthwise on the pressure bar. They are employed for dividing the veneer
into lengths, trimming the ends or scoring the sheet for bending.
The American-Blakeslee Types “A,” “B” and “D” veneer lathes are built
on a frame of box girder type comprising four upright, supporting members
which provide integral bearings for the spindles and main shaft and carry the
entire weight of machine without overhang. These upright members are
connected at each side near the top by heavy, cast, bolted-on girders, fitted
with bearings for the feed screws and so located as to take the chucking strain
in a direct line of tension. The drive gears are keyed fast to the spindles,
which range in diameter from 3if" to 5", and the driving pinions are of wide
face to accommodate the travel of the spindles through the bearings in chucking
the bolt. Chucks are of machine steel with inserted tool steel spurs and make
onto the ends of the spindles by heavy quadruple threads. The feed screws
which pass entirely through the machine transversely, with competent bearings
in each of the girders, are designed for long wear without loss of accuracy.
These screws are cut right and left hand and the back roll carriage which is
an integral part of all Blakeslee lathes is operated by the same screws which
operate the knife carriage... This design renders unnecessary the use of thrust
bearings on the feed screws as the thrust of the back roll carriage counteracts
that of the knife carriage. The feed screw nuts on both carriages are babbitted
directly on the screws and are easily replaced. Both carriages are of heavy
cast construction and efficient provision is made for mounting the knife rigidly.
Three types of stationary and four of quick release pressure bars are built
by the Blakeslee Co. so that machines may be fitted with a pressure bar suited
to the service required. The power dogging device is belted direct from line
shaft has a maximum motion for spindle of 10" and is provided with adjustable
limit stops at both ends. Food mechanism is also fitted with adjustable lim’t
stops to prevent collision of knife and chucks. The friction clutch pulley
for main drive is of special Blakeslee design and incorporated therewith is an
automat’c brake which stops the spindles very quickly.
The Blakesl?e Type “FB” lathes are an improved, modernized form of the
preceding tools and are designed for cutting veneers up to and including A"
thick. The frames differ from the older type Blakeslee machines in the fact
that one-piece, cored, box type end members supplant the two members
used at each end of the older frames. These unit end members are connected
by heavy cast girders in direct line of dogging strain. The end units provide
machined seats for the chain-oiling bronze bushings in which the splined
spindle sleeves rotate. Machined seats for the bronze bushing of the feed
shafts are also provided and heavy ways for the knife and back roll carriages
are bolted directly to the end members. The feed mechanism is of the all
gear type and embodies two sliding gears for quick change of thickness. All
gears throughout the machine are accurately cut and completely guarded.
Special steels and bronzes are used at critical points and the entire machine,
which embodies the features of the “A,” “B” and “D” types with added
refinements, is very accurately built.
The Capital Type “C” lathes are built on a frame comprising two heavy,
horizontal, channel shaped base castings to the ends of which the massive
one-piece housings for the spindle bearings are bolted in planed seats. The
main drive shaft is carried within the base and the entire machine is self-
contained. Gears are inclosed and main bearings are fitted with an improved
system of lubrication. Spindles are rotated by, and slide in, one-piece, splined
sleeves and an auxiliary support is provided for the tail spindle when extendedNo. 965, Continued
for cutting short bolts. Pressure bar is provided with quick release and accurate
return to position. Smaller machines designed for cutting down cores from
larger lathes are fitted with a centering device involving a “V” shaped trough
into which the cores or small bolts are rolled and, by the operation of a lever
controlled, power driven mechanism, raised to position and mounted by
the power dogging device which is a part of all Capital machines. Spindles
on this line of machines range from 2 %" to 5 ys" in diameter.
The Lathes built by the Coe Mfg. Co. comprise frames with heavy, cored,
one-piece, end members of “A” shape connected both below and above
the spindles by steel rods which take the entire dogging strain in tension.
The main drive shaft carries but one clutch pulley and may be driven by a
direct connected motor or engine. The shaft is mounted in five bearings,
two in each end frame and one at the outboard end, and is paralleled by an
auxiliary shaft, also mounted in five bearings and driven by belt from the
face of the clutch pulley. This auxiliary shaft is driven independently of
the main shaft so long as the clutch pulley is in motion and is used to drive
the fast feed for knife carriage and the power dogging mechanism. All bearings
are machined all over, made into bored and reamed seats and fitted with
ring oilers. Spindles are 3 " to 6" diameter, forged from high carbon steel and
operate in accurately fitted sleeves with full length steel splines. A competent
power dogging device is standard equipment. The feed gearing involves two
change gears and a compound, lever operated gear mechanism whereby either
of two thicknesses may be cut by a single motion of lever while the machine
is running. The friction driven rapid motion of knife carriage and the gear
driven cutting feed are controlled by one lever. All control levers are inter-
connected so that opposing motions cannot be started at the same time. The
pressure bar is operated by a lever and may be instantly thrown back to clear
splinters; when returned to position it is self-adjusting. An automatic
mechanism varies the angle or pitch of knife in exact relation to the decreasing
diameter of the bolt. An automatic stop prevents collision of knife and chucks.
Scarfing and scoring attachments may be applied to any of these machines.
All gears and pinions are cut and are mounted between bearings. Driving
pinions and bevel feed gears are of steel, the latter inclosed in cast iron casings.
The Back or Impression Roller may or may not be fitted to the above
Coe lathes. This is an attachment for cutting the veneer into exact widths as it
comes from the bolt and is especially adapted to cutting box, crate and package
stock up to Yu" thick. The device involves a cylinder, in diameters below 12",
above which size a winged type roll is used to save weight with grooves
milled from end to end, spaced at proper intervals to cut the desired widths
and fitted with wedge and screw fastened knives projecting just sufficiently
to cut through the required thickness. This roll is mounted on a shaft
carried in bearings on the side of lathe opposite the knife with the back
roll knives exactly in line with the veneer knife, thus equalizing the pressure
on the bolt. Roll is fed forward, toward the bolt at the same rate that the
veneer cutting knife advances and is revolved by friction of the bolt the
projecting knives cutting into the surface of the bolt just the thickness of the
veneer. The bolt leaving contact with the roll continues to the veneer knife
where the veneer comes from the machine in pieces of the exact shape and size
of the cuts of the back roll knives. This system produces very accurate work
and pieces of almost any shape within certain limits may be thus cut.
The Merritt lathe is built on a massive, cored, box type frame which
carries all wearing surfaces on attached parts. This line of machines embodies
all the improved devices such as power dogging mechanism belted from line
shaft, fast feed for knife carriage used for positioning same, automatic device
for changing knife pitch, all gear feed mechanism, compound lever controlled
gears for cutting two thicknesses without stopping machine, etc. Some special
features of the Merritt machines are the third bearing for each spindle whichNo. 965, Continued
is cast in the knife carriage-ways, fitted with renewable sleeve and used
for giving extra support to "the spindle close to the chuck; !the feed screws
which are called “Center Push” and are mounted in direct. line with the edge
of knife, pointing exactly to the center of the spindles; spindle supporting
block which operates on planed ways and serves to support the tail spindle
near the chuck when extended for cutting short bolts. The' pressure bar is
mounted in eccentric sleeves and controlled by worm and gear which provides
accurate pressure control,, quick withdrawal and a tilting movement. Applicable
to this machine but not included in the standard equipment are Scarfing
Attachments used for bovplihg the ends of certain kinds of stock, one-piece
Scoring Caps and Extension Spindles. The scarfing attachment involves
a knife mounted in a swing frame and so arranged as to- bear correctly on
all diameters of bolt. Ranfee is for bevel of a maximum length of 5" on stock
up to y%" thick. The scoring cap is designed for use in. duplicating layouts
of scoring on standard stock and carries permanently mounted spurs which
insure accurate work. A-.separate cap is required for each layout. The steady
rest or extension spindle involves a suitable housing operating on the horizontal
ways of the main bod.' .This housing carries a short auxiliary spindle .fitted
to carry the regular Chuck? on the inner end and to engage and be driven by
the main spindle. This steady rest may be clamped to the bed imposition
to cut any required length of bolt.	•■(.).	; . . i
Merritt lathes are-bfdinarily driven by a special clutch pulley made
by the manufacturers of. the lathe with reference to the service' demanded.
Any of the line may. be fitted with a two-speed motor driVe which entirely
eliminates belting. This, drive involves a gear transmission-,. With two friction
clutches operated by.oneilever, coupled direct to the motor.' Independent
motor -operates the- power, dogging and quick feed motions through paper
frictions and chain drives,.	•	?;	.
The St. Joseph lathqs.are built on heavy, ribbed, one-piece, box type
beds which are machined,ijo form ways for the head and tail blocks which
are located on the bed by machined seats and projections on the blocks and
are rigidly dowelled and.,,clamped in position. The main'drive shaft1 with
center bearing runs the length of machine and drives both: spindles by heavy
gears. Tail block may .be, adjusted on the bed for cutting short logs. Logs
are chucked by hand or by power, both spindles being adjustable and the
tail spindle being fitted with handwheel. Quick, independent feed for knife
carriage is provided. Fopd screws are cut with Acme threads and driven
by a gear and sprocket mechanism direct from the head spindle. Scarfing
attachment is applicable and all lathes are regularly fitted with improved
spur blocks. Pressure bar is fitted with receding and tilting motions. Complete
and ample provision is made for taking up wear throughout the machine.
The Trevor lathes arc jn process of revision and will be covered by inserts
issued as soon as the improved designs are ready.

Veneer Cutting Machines, Stay Log or Flitch Type.
Builders: ’
Capital Machine Co.
Coe Mfg-.:Co.-
This type of Veneer cutting machine is an adaptation of the regular rotary
typo and is capable of being used as a full rotary by the simple process of
removing tho stay log unit. The purpose of the machine is the production
of veneers with, rriore figure than can be obtained by a straight cut around
the log. This result is secured by mounting the flitch a considerable distance
off center so thatthe cut while still circular is on a much greater radius and
cuts through the grain instead of between it. Th<? product of a plain rotary
machine might bo likened to the unrolling of a roll, of ribbon while the product
of the stay log type would be comparable to circular slices cut from the roll.
In operating this machine the logs are opened up by cutting through
the center arid then cut into flitches of as great width as possible and still
show good figrire in the grain.
The eccentric mounting of these flitches is accomplished by fitting large
discs to the. spindles of a machine in other respects like a rotary machine.
These discs caiVy, in a slot which extends across tho face of disc, the stay log
which is adjustably mounted, in a position parallel to the spindles, with one
end in each diiie. The stay log itself is a heavy casting with planed face through
which a series of holes are drilled for the purpose of mounting the flitch by the
use of special lag/ screws. A steel template is. used to bore the flitch for the
lag screws. Face of flitch that is bolted to the,stay log should be trued up so
as to set firmly thereon. With the flitch bolted in place the stay log is adjusted
on the discs to give a cut the radius of which is calculated to give the best
figure in tho v6ncor cut. The stay log and flitch are then revolved. The veneer
knife of the usual type and adjustments is by this eccentric rotation of the
flitch caused to. enter and leave the cut once during each revolution producing
veneers in comparatively narrow pieces in place of the continuous ribbon
of the rotary type machine.
The Capital machines of this type are built to carry knives from 65"
to 125" long and swing 62" and 73". Spindles are 7" diameter. Weights
30,000 lbs. to 50,000 lbs.	:	. .
The Cce machines are built to carry knives up to 120" long and swing
from 50" to 68". <' Spindles 6" to 8" diameter. Weights 20,000 lbs. to 52,000 lbs.

Veneer Cutting Machines, Slicing Type. •
Builders:
Capital Machine Co.
Cce Mfg. Co.
Veneer cutting machines employing knives and working on boiled or
steamed flitches or bolts are of three types, the rotary or lathe type (No. 965)
the stay log or half rotary type (No. 966) and the slicing type which is
described in this paragraph. The slicing type of machine is used for cutting
the finer grades of cabinet woods as well as the thicker veneers from more
common woods. It employs a fixed knife and a vertically moving table
to which the flitch is dogged and forced over the knife. Quartered oak,
mahogany and other hard, figured woods are successfully cut.
The Capital slicing machine contemplates mounting the flitch on the
vertical face of a plate which is fitted with a crank operated vertical and angular
movement which carries the flitch downward and across the knife which is
mounted, edge up, in a heavy carriage. The knife carriage is automatically
spaced in the required distance at each stroke of the flitch plate or tableNo. 967, Continued
Machine is constructed on a heavy base plate which mounts all the working
parts, making the machiné self-contained. Flitch table, which consists of a
plate with vertical face, is fitted with a double row of screw operated dogs and
operates on ways mounted on heavy knees extending upward from base of
machine. This table is actuated vertically by two steel connecting rods working
on wrist pins mounted in the face of large, cut, spur gears. ’Crank gears are
carried on the ends of two' gear driven shafts located horizontally and at right
angles to the table slides. Cut steel pinions are employed to drive these two
shafts. Table has a vertical stroke of 36" and, by reason of the angularity
of the slides, moves endwise during that stroke a distance of 14" giving a
decided draw cut. Table is accurately counter-balanced and the main shaft is
fitted with a competent, lever operated band brake which serves to stop the
flitch table at any point in the stroke.
The knife carriage is mounted on horizontal ways located on the bed
of machine at right angles to the face of the flitch table and carries the knife
bar and pressure cap. Carriage is traversed on the ways by two largo screws
which are rotated in either direction by lever controlled friction clutch pulleys.
Automatic forward feed of the knife carriage, which governs the thickness
of veneer cut, comprises a ratchet and pawl mechanism operated from the
flitch table.
The knife bar is pivoted at the front on two large steel pins and at the
rear is fitted with a toggle at each end which toggles are connected and operate
simultaneously and synchronously with the flitch table. When flitch table
is at the highest point of its travel the toggles are straight and knife is in cutting
position and is held therein rigidly. At the low point of the table stroke the
toggles double up and move the knife bar back away from the flitch. A counting
device is fitted which is used to count the number of veneers cut from each
flitch.
Pressure cap is a massive casting and is fitted with an adjustable steel
pressure bar. Machine is built in three sizes to cut flitches 8'6" long by
24" square, 12'6" long by30" square and 16'6" long 30 "square. Weights 35,000
lbs., 60,000 lbs., 70,000 lbs.
The Coe Slicing Machine is designed especially for the cutting of mahogany
and other figured woods, crotches, burls, etc. up to j-f" in thickness. The
machine operates on the same principle as the Capital machine and has capacity
to produce 40,000 to 100,000 feet, surface measure per ten hours.
In the construction of this machine special attention has been given the
device for with-drawing the knife from contact with the flitch during the up
stroke and to the matter of providing a heavy shear to the cut which is essential
to the successful! handling of “crotches” and other heavily figured stock.
Machine is fitted with either hand or automatic feed to the knife carriage
and is built in sizes to cut flitches 8', 10', 12'6 ", 14' and 16* long and up to
32" square. Power required for the larger machines is approximately 15 H. P.
Weight of a 12' machine is 52 tons and speed as high as 36 strokes per minute.

Veneer Cutting Machines, Board Slicing Type.
Builders:
Ccc Mfg. Co.
The Coe machine of this type is used for producing thin stock up to y&"
in thickness from flitches, of the more common woods, as large as 30"x30"-10'0".
The machine, is similar in construction to the Coe Veneer Slicing Machine
and embodies heavy castings, cut gearing and generous wearing surfaces.
The principle of operation however is different as in this machine the flitch
is mounted on a- table and the knife is traversed, with a heavy draw cut, past
the stationary flitch. Carriage on which the flitch is mounted is automatically
fed in at each stroke of the knife to regulate the thickness of cut.
For the best results iron this machine the flitches should be very thoroughly
boiled and should be fitted with a true surface both top and bottom for
satisfactory mounting Machines with knives up to 5'0" long may be operated
at a speed as high as 40 strokes while longer knives as 10'0" should not make
over 15 strokes per minute. Machine will produce sound, solid stock up to
-M" in thickness.

Veneer Sawing Machines, Circular Type.
Builders:
Capital Machine Co.
Ccc Mfg. Co.
Louis L. Seibert & Co.
This type of veneer cutting machine finds its principal use in cutting
veneers from the choicer kinds of cabinet woods. The ordinary range of sizes
in which the machine is built include machines to cut flitches up to about
24"x24" by 12', 14', 1C or 18' long. Stock from about 1-10" up to H" in thickness
is produced and the kerf removed is so small that ten veneers may be cut frem
one inch of stock. It is also used for cutting cigar box stock from cedar flitches.
Output of this type saw on flitches of average width and length will range
from 5,000 to 7,000 feet surface measure per ten hours.
The machines of the above builders are all self-contained, accurately
built machines of iron and steel, except that in some cases the carriage and
stay log are of wood, and are so s'milar that separate description is not necessary.
The standard construction embodies a heavy husk frame on which the arbor
is mounted in bearings with adjustment to line the saw with the tracks. Tracks
are in the form of a heavy base casting, of sectional type with taper pinned
joints and one flat and one “V” way on which the carriage has a bearing
its full length. Carriage feed is friction driven and may be of the rack and
pinon or steel cable type. Three feed rates are usual. The stay log or flitch
table is mounted on the carriage in horizontal ways at right angles to the
carriage tracks and is very accurately fitted to present a true vertical face
exactly parallel with the saw. The flitch is dogged to this stay log by a series
of independent, screw operated dogs and the stay log and flitch are advanced
to the saw after each cut by a hand or automatic feed mechanism. An automatic
receder is usually fitted to withdraw the flitch from contact with saw when
gigging back. Some machines embody a tightener roll set close to the saw,
at an angle, to hold the flitch firmly to the stay log. The dogs are of special
type and project very slightly so that the flitch may be cut to a slab no more
than %" thick. The arbor carries a cast iron or steel disc about 60" diameter,
tapered from eye to rim, on which sectional or segment saws are mounted
projecting only six to eight inches beyond the supporting disc. The segments
are ground tapering to about 23 gauge at the rim so that a very light kerf
is removed. The weights of this class machine run from 10,000 lbs. to 16,000
lbs. and a motor of 15 to 25 H. P. may be belted direct to the arbor,__

Veneer Hogs or Refuse Grinders.
Builders:
Capital Machine Co.
Mitts & Merrill.
Williams Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Co.
Gruendlcr Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Co.
These veneer hogs are distinct variations of the standard saw mill hog
and are used for reducing all kinds of veneer scrap into small chips. The
refuse is fed into the machine in strips and may be wet or dry. A continuous
process hog installation involves a conveyor from the veneer cutting machine
to the feed chute of the hog and a second conveyer to carry the hog wood
to final disposition.
The Capital machine is built in two sizes with cutter heads 30 " or 42 " long.
This machine is built on a ¡cast box type base which carries the horizontal
cutter head shaft, a ten-inch, corrugated top roll and a six-inch smooth bottom
roll together with an inclined, sheet steel feed trough. The cutter head shaft
is fitted with a scries of steel heads, with 6" faces, carrying four angularly
set knives each. Located in front of the cutter heads is a bar which is shaped
to fit the “V”spaccs between the knivesand isfitted with square plates to receive
the cut of the knives. These plates are set close to the cutting circle and form
the second member of the shear with the knife as the first member. Each
of the square plates has eight cutting edges which may be"Used in succession
until all are dulled. The feed trough is provided with an eccentric operated
shaking motion of % " to assist in feeding the refuse to the rolls. Ratio of feed
to rotation is 3 " per revolution so that the four knives per hpad cut the scrap
into Yi" lengths. Motor of 15 to 25 H. P. may bo belted direct to the drive
shaft which is 2H" diameter and makes 800 R. P. M. Pulley" 15"xl0". Floor
space 63" and 75" wide by 90" long and 44" high. Weights 3200 lbs. and
4500 lbs. ■
The Mitts & Merrill No. 30 Veneer Hog is similar to the Capital machine
so far as the cutter heads are concerned but is fitted with a level, horizontal
feeding table the bottom of which is composed of smooth, closely spaced,
driven feed rolls with a top press roll at machine end. This feed table is 30"
by 48" and is detached from the machine and mounted on casters for
removal when changing knives. Pressure fingers in connection with the top
roll hold the stock close to the cut. The top roll is fitted with a pedal operated
elevating device to permit extra large bunches of refuse to feed through. The
feed table is fitted with tight and loose pulleys and should bo driven at 90
R. P. M. to produce chips about 1 Vi" long. Motor of 20 to 30 H. P. may
be belted direct to the cutter head which makes 1200 R. P. M. Shaft is mounted
in chain oiling bearings of liberal size. Floor space over all 92 Ji"x98 Li".
Weight 5400 lbs.
The Williams Veneer Shredder is used for reducing waste wood of all
kinds including veneer scrap and cores, barrel staves, box and furniture factory
waste, etc. This machine operates on a somewhat different principle from the
above described machines, as it pounds and breakes up the waste in place
of cutting it as do the first described machines. The Williams machine is
fitted with a series of hammers adjustably mounted in discs carried on the
horizontal shaft and working in connection with reversible, tempered, tool
steel, grate bars or cages. The hammers and cages require sharpening but
three or four times a year. This machine embodies a heavy nickel steel shaft
fitted with drive pulley on one end and heavy balance wheel on the other
end. This shaft is mounted in extra large, ring oiling bearings. All internal
exposed parts of the machine are protected by heavy, replaceable, chilled,
cast iron liners. Built in six sizes as follows:

The Grucndler machine is used for hogging all sorts of veneer mill and
factory refuse but is not adapted to saw mill service. The machine involves
essentially a rotor which forces the material through sharp edged openings
in a stator. The openings range in different machines from to 1 Y" wide.
Output is of course largely dependent on the size of the openings.

Veneer Clipping Machines, Foot Power Type.
Builders:
Coe Mfg. Co.
Merritt Engineering & Sales Co.
This type machine is used in veneer mills for taking care of the first cut-
tings, in rounding up the log and for use on stock cut from knotty or defective
logs. In service of this kind when used as an auxiliary to the standard clipper
they are of value. They are also used in panel and furniture plants for sizing
veneers preliminary to gluing.
The construction follows very closely the lines of the standard foot operated
metal squaring shear. End frames provide slides for the horizontal knife bar
which is brought down past the edge of the table by the action of a foot lever.
The Cce machines of this type are built with knives from 36" to 100"
long and weigh 450 lbs. to 1200 lbs. A similar machine fitted with clutch
driven shaft at the base and a pair of eccentrics at each end to operate the
knife bar by power is also built in the same range of sizes by the same makers.
Merritt machines are built to carry knives from 28" to 102" long. Weight
450 lbs. to 1250 lbs. Floor space 30"x48" to 30"xl20".

Veneer Clipping Machines, Conveyor and Automatic Feed Types.
Builders:
American Blakcsleo Mfg. Co.	Merritt Engineering & Sales Co.
Capital Machine Co.	St. Joseph Iron Works.
Cce Mfg. Co.	Trevor Mfg. Co.
The class of veneer clippers contemplated under this heading are usually
installed at the outfeed end of veneer lathes to receive the veneer as it is cut
and clip it into the desired dimensions. The conveyor table which receives
the ribbon of veneer is built in lengths ranging from ten to thirty feet and
in some installations two tables are used, the entire cut of one log being received
on one table and then transferod to the cutting table. Those machines are
built to match the lathes and carry knives from 36" to 125" long.
A typical conveyor typo clipper is built on a frame comprising cast end
frames with vertical ways for the knife bar which is mounted over the table
and fitted with a knife at an angle to provide for a shearing cut. A pressure
bar is provided close to the knife to clamp the veneer firmly to the table while
being cut. Eccentrics are mounted at each end of a pedal controlled clutch
shaft at the base of the machine and employed to actuate the knife bar through
steel connecting rods. Tho: conveyor is equal in width to the length of knife
and is of slatted construction. It is operated at 50 to 60 F. P. M. by moans
of a lever controlled, friction clutch and is also fitted with a hand operated
motion for close setting. The net weight of machines of this class ranges from
2500 lbs. to 5500 lbs. and the horse power, from 3 to 7
The method of operating a clipper of the above type involves the stacking
of veneer on the infeed conveyor until a thickness of an inch or two is reached.
The power feed is then employed to run the stack of veneer to the approximate
cutting point and the fine adjustment made by the hand feed. Machine is
then tripped and the operation repeated.
The conveyor type clipper may be fitted with an automatic feed involving
a ratchet operated from an adjustable disc crank on the main eccentric shaft
and used to operate the conveyor chain synchronously with the strokes of
the knife which are in this case continuous. The automatic feed is readily
disconnected and the machine used as a plain conveyor type. The automaticNo. 973, Continued
feed is used with success'on dimensions from 1" to 14" wide and in some cases
up to 20" or 24" wide.
The St. Joseph Automatic Clipper is built on a competent frame composed
of heavily ribbed,: one-piece side frames connected by steel girts and fitted
with a heavy, weight counter-balanced, knife bar which has a smooth easy
motion. Feed works are actuated by nine pawls of varying lengths operating
on a wide faced ratchet of pitch. Pinion on ratchet shaft is less than half
the diameter of the ratchet and meshes with a sprocket shaft gear twice its
size. All gears are cut and hold-back pawls are fitted to prevent back lash.
The feed works comprise two to four bed chains in connection with two upper
chains, all driven. This conbination of lower and self-adjusting upper chains
holds the stock firmly and feeds it accurately. On the narrower machines
the knife is of one-piece type but on the wider tools sectional knives are used
and are fitted to shear from the outside toward the center. The standard
construction involves a steel cutting plate past which the knife travels but
machines are also built with a non-shearing knife cutting onto a wood block
of square section with four working faces. The tables are of wood, attached
to the clipper frame, and are regularly twelve feet long. The bed chains operate
in steel lined ways. Automatic feed may be set to cut any required width
from 1" to 12* and by removing a pin in the ratchet mechanism the automatic
feed is made inoperative and the machine may be used with independent
power feed, cutting stock to a gauge, up to a maximum width of 60". Multiple
plies of veneer up to a total thickness of 3" may be fed and cut with either
the power or automatic feed. Three-step cone pulleys provide rates ranging
from 25 to 60 strokes per minute. Motor of 3 to 7 H. P. may be geared direct
to drive shaft. An extra heavy machine of the same type is also built by the
sxme company. This machine, the No. 6 has range to feed automatically and
cut accurately dimensions up to 24" wide.
The Coe machines of this type are built in two patterns, “A” heavy and
“B” medium weight, which are similar in design and construction. They embody
cast side frames, and carry a vertically traveling knife bar, with shear cutting
knife, operated by rods at each end from a counter-balanced, eccentric shaft
at base of machine. These machines may be fitted with power feed with hand
adjustment or with automatic feed. The automatic feed is recommended
by the builders for widths up to about 14", or in some special cases to 20",
but above those widths the power feed, with hand adjustment to gauge is
advised. Feed bed is of the two section, endless, slatted type.
The Merritt Type 277 machine is of the power feed type with hand adjust-
ment of conveyor to set the stock to gauge. It is built bn a well designed frame
involving cored side members and cast iron and steel extent ions, at infeed end,
twelve feet or more in length. Knife bar is actuated by rods at each end from
eccentrics on a gear driven shaft controlled by pedal operated clutch, and is
counter-balanced by heavy, direct-acting coil springs. All gears are cut and eccen-
tric shaft is fitted with an automatic brake working in connection with the
clutch to cause knife bar to make one stroke and stop at the high point. The series
of conveyor chains in bed is operated by power with handwheel adjustment
for setting the stock to gauge. The infeed table may be in two sections with
independent clutch control, permitting the entire cut of one log to be deposited
on the auxiliary section and transferred at will to the main section.
The Merritt Type 378 clipper is an automatic bar feed tool used for clipping
veneers into dimensions up to 20" wide. This machine is built on a competent
frame similar to the Type 277 and like that machine is fitted with a steel
and cast iron infeed table. The automatic feed is direct and positive and involves
a carriage reciprocating horizontally on rollers and connected on each side
to the crank pins which operate the knife bar. The veneer rests on this carriage
which is composed of horizontal bars, interlocking with similar bars which
compose the stationary table, and is fitted with a cam mechanism which causes
it to drop out of contact with the veneer on the back stroke, leaving same in
cutting position. On the forward stroke the carriage rises and brings forward
the veneer. At the forward end of the carriage next the knife is located anNo. 973, Continued	,£72 .oVI
idle horizontal roll which on the back stroke of the carriage smoothes out
the pile of veneers which is held during this smoothing by the automatic
pressure bar next the knife. Machines up to 66" knife are fitted with two
carriage speeds either of which is available through change gears. Table is
twelve feet long and the knife makes a 7" stroke competent'to cut through
a pile of veneers three inches thick. The same machine is also built in a com-
bination type embodying the automatic feed as well as the chain feed, power
driven as used on the Type 277 machine. Either feed is readily available as
indicated by the work.
The Capital machine is of the plain, power feed type without the automatic
features. This machine is built on a cast frame of excellent design in sizes to
carry knives 36" to 125" long. The infeed table may be from ten to thirty-
feet long and is fitted with; a: slatted, endless bed driven from a friction clutch
and provided with auxiliary hand feed for placing stock accurately to gauge.
Knife bar is operated by rods, at each end from eccentrics mounted on a pedal
controlled clutch shaft. .	,,,
The Blakeslee machine embodies both the automatic and the power feeding
features, the former with, range to cut stock up to 14" wide with reasonable
accuracy. The machine is built on a cast frame with Wood infeed table twelve
feet in length. Th’s table-. is; fitted with two to six chains, emending its full
length and with from two ,to four self-adjusting upper chains at the clipper
end. The knife is in two 'sections and shears from the outsidb. to the .center.

Veneer Clipping and Stamping Machine, Combination Type.
Builders:
Coe Mfg. Co.
Merritt Engineering & Sales Co.
St. Joseph Iron Works.
This type machine is used for cutting out dimension veneers for basket,
fruit package and similar work. The stock may be cut with parallel edges
or in a variety of tapering or bevel edged shapes^ within certain limits. In
operation the stock, as it comes from the lathe, is placed on the conveyor
table to a depth of several inches, and is automatically fed under the knife
which is timed so as to descend and cut through the pile of stock when same
is in position. The knife then rises and leaves the cut stock to be pushed out
by the incoming veneer.
The Coe machine is similar in design to the conveyor type of automatic
clipper made by that company. The knife bar is fitted to receive cast iron
spacing blocks on each side on which the top stamping knives are mounted.
Knife cuts are received on an easily replaceable wood bed. A competent
stripper is fitted and the eccentric shaft is geared to take care of the additional
power requirement. Built in sizes to carry knives from 36 " to 76 " long. Weights
1600 lbs. to 7500 lbs.
The Merritt Type 378 machine in sizes 66" and less may be fitted with
a stamping or blanking attachment. The attachment consists of two cast
iron forms mounted on opposite sides of the knife bar. On each form is fitted
a specially shaped knife which cuts the complete pattern at one stroke. A
stripping device clears the knives and the cut stock is left on the wood bed on
which the knife strikes. Will cut through veneers 2" thick. Weights, floor
space, etc., same as the standard Type 378 machine described in the preceding
paragraph.

Veneer Stamping Machines.
Builders:
Coe Mfg. Co.
This type machine is used in basket factories for cutting “Climax” bottoms
and covers, taper peach basket staves, berry box patterns, grease and butter
packages and bottoms and covers for packages of any shape as well as various
parts for carpet sweepers and other articles.
The Cce machines are built in two types “A” and “B,” The “A” Type
comprises a cored column on the front face of which is mounted in vertical
slides a platen operated by a horizontal gear driven cam shaft. Below this
platen is located the table or bolster knee on which is mounted the hollow
cutting die. The cam which actuates the platen gives a slow stroke and a
quick return so that ample time is provided to operate the machine with
continuous strokes. The process consists in piling the veneer on the die in
bunches up to two or three inches thick, the platen then descends and cuts
the stock forcing the cut dimensions through the die and delivering same
below the table. Capacity runs from 50,000 to 400,000 pieces per ten hours
depending on the thickness of the veneers. Platen makes from 20 to 30 strokes
per minute. Weight 2000 lbs.
The Type “B” machine is used for the same class of work as the Type “A”
but is heavier and is without the quick return stroke of the platen. This
machine is built upon a cast bed plate upon which are mounted two columns
of cored type, fitted with vertical ways on the opposed faces on which the
platen is operated from a gear driven crank shaft at the top of columns. An
adjustable die table is mounted below the platen. Weight 4500 lbs.No. 977.

Veneer Drying Machines, Conveyor Type.
Builders:
Emerson Dry Kiln Co.
Proctor & Schwartz, Inc.
The Emerson “Perfection” Veneer Dryer is of the conveyor type and
involves a steel paneled compartment, fans for the circulation of the heated
air, an exhaust fan for the removal of the saturated air, conveyor chains,
heating coils and humidifiers.
This apparatus is built in lengths of 40, 60, 80 and 100 feet or more and
the housing as regularly built is 60" high by 90" wide which gives clear head
room above the conveyor chains of 42". Other sizes of compartments can be
built as required. The frame on which the compartment is built is composed
of well braced steel and the covering is composed of panels of heavy, double
thickness galvanized iron with %" asbestos filling. The circulating fans are
of the disc type, 42" in diameter and are driven at 250 R. P. M. by belts or
independent motors. These fans are equally spaced along_ the length of the
compartment and vary in number from five on the 60' kiln to nine on the
100' machine. They have a straight line deflection of about 15 degrees and
are provided with heavy galvanized ducts. The exhaust fan is 28" in diameter
with a 10"xl2" outlet. The fan system contemplates the starting of the hot,
dry air from the dry or discharge end of the machine toward the green end where
the saturated air is withdrawn by the exhaust fan which is so fitted that any
required portion of the saturated air may be returned to the dry end for the
purpose of regulating the humidity. For use on some classes of veneer inde-
dependent humidifiers are provided. The heating elements comprise a series
of steam coils running the entire length of the compartment on the side opposite
the fans and so piped that the admission of steam to each coil may be inde-
pendently controlled. The conveyor chains are of heavy link type with rollers
at each joint and both tangents travel in channel steel ways. The chains
extend well out beyond the doors of the kiln at both loading and discharge
ends and are geared to a ratio of 100:1.
In operation the veneer to be dryed is pi’ed upon open bottom steel or
wood racks using piling sticks the same as used in piling lumber for kiln drying.
The thickness of the pilers is dependent on the thickness of veneer and clamps
may be employed if required to hold the pile firmly in place. The units thus
prepared, of a maximum height of 42", are picked up by a lift truck, swing
crane or other device and mounted on the conveyor chains outside the
doors of kiln and run into the machine. When the kiln is fully loaded the process
is continuous, a unit of dry stock being removed from one end every time
a unit of green stock is run in. The conveyor moves only when stock is to ho
loaded or discharged from the machine. Instruments for temporal ure and
humidity readings are part of the equipment. The capacity of v 100' machine
is rated as 100,000 feet of ys" veneer per twenty-four hours but this has been
largely increased in some cases. The actual capacity is dependent on the
speed at which the stock can be handled at the loading end. From 10 to 20
H.P. is required to drive all the fans and the conveyor. Net weight of the 40'
machine is 20,000 lbs., of the 60', 27,500 lbs. and the 100', 43,000 lbs.
The Proctor Veneer Dryer is used for drying veneers from 1/40" to^
in thickness and requires frem ten to ninety minutes to complete the process
depending on the thickness and condition of the veneer. The principle upon
which this machine operates contemplates the re-circulation of large volumes
of moist air over the surface of the veneer which is held between flat surfaces
while traveling through the machine. A small supply of fresh air is admitted
to the dryer at intervals and a corresponding amount of saturated air is
exhausted so that the air in the dryer dees not become saturated but does
contain sufficient moisture to avoid checking or case hardening the veneer.
This machine comprises a compartment constructed on a structural steel
framework and covered by removable panels composed of double thicknesssheets of heavy galvanized iron with asbestos sheet insulation. Within this
compartment which is built in standard widths ranging from 72" to 156"
wide by 100' or more in length, are located steam coils through which the air
is drawn by a series of disc fans and re-circulated in lirge volume alternately
across the veneers and the coils. The fans vary in number rnd size with the
size of the compartment, a hundred-foot machine being fitted with eleven
64" fans and other sizes in like proportion. Fans are driven by belts or inde-
pendent motors located outside the casing. Running from end to end of the
machine are five endless chain conveyors of a width equal to the clear space
inside the fans and heating coils. These conveyors are built up on a pair
of roller chains which are connected by bars and pressed steel girts in such
manner as to form a continuous flat platen of open work construction. These
five conveyors arc located one above the other and are extended outside the
casing at each end. The sections of conveyors outside the casing are separated
for convenience in feeding but within the casing the top and bottom tangents
of adjacent conveyors, traveling in the same direction, run close together so
that the veneer in passing through the drying chamber is held firmly between
the top tangent of one chain and the bottom tangent of the next higher chain.
The conveyors are all gear driven arid the direction of travel is such that on
each end of the machine there are two openings into which wet veneer is fed
and two openings from which dry veneer is discharged.^ Veneer which is
not properly dry at one passage through the machine is reversed and sent back
through the machine to the end from which it started.

The machine is built with rolls 96" and 144" long and with any length and
number of roll openings necessary to produce the required capacity. This
machine comprises a structural steel frame covered with removable steel
panels and insulated by asbestos sheets and blocks. Within the compartment
thus formed is located a series of power driven rolls through which the sheets
of veneer are carried. The rolls are made from stool tubing 3 " and 4 " in diameter
and specially processed to give a smooth, true surface. The lower roll of each
pair is mounted in roller bearings and driven by a steel sprocket chain. The
upper rolls are free to adjust themselves vertically to receive any thickness
of veneer and are driven from the lower rolls by special long tooth spur gears.
Machines are built with from two to five pairs of rolls, one pair above the other,
according to the capacity required. Each pair of rolls is spaced on 5 K" to
7 Vi" centers from end to end of the machine. Heated air in large volume
is supplied and circulated by an independent unit comprising an engine or
motor driven fan with a steel plate heater. The heated air from this unit
is introduced into the roll chamber through a series of slotted, horizontal
nozzles located between the lines of veneer near the dry end of machine and
pointed so as to induce a general movement of the air toward the green end.
At the green end of machine is located an exhaust fan which accurately and
positively removes the required amount of saturated air. In addition to this
indirect heating system specially designed heating coils are located between
the lines of veneer and so arranged as to give a varying degree of heat which
increases toward the dry end of machine. As the veneer passes through the
machine in a direction counter to the air currents it comes in contact firstwith the air which has been humidified by contact with the green veneer
further on in the rolls. As a further means of preventing checking and case
hardening a steam spray involving a perforated pipe is fitted under each lino
of veneer at the green end. This steam spray insures saturated air at the green
end when starting the machine after a shut down and is also used for drying
veneer which has stood for some time after cutting and become badly warped.
ThejStandard method of driving which may be adhered to or not as indicated
by circumstances involves two small engines or motors having a combined
output of 8 to 10 H. P. One unit is employed for driving the fan and the other
for the rolls. The engine drive for the rolls has the advantage of a great range
of roll speed. Baffles are fitted at each end to prevent the escape of heat and
special cooling devices may be fitted at the discharge end.

Veneer Dryers, Platen Type.
Builders:
Merritt Engineering & Sales Co.
A. S. Nichols Co.
These machines are used for drying veneer and also for redrying preliminary
to gluing.
The Nichols machine comprises a structural steel frame from the top girders
of which a series of cast iron, steam heated platens are pendent. These platens
hang in a vertical plane and are pressed together or opened by a horizontal
hydraulic ram. The opening and closing mechanism is automatic and may
be set to hold the platens closed on the veneers, under pressure for any required
period. The breathing movement contemplates opening the platens at intervals
as required and instantly closing them again. This movement is for the purpose
of allowing the veneer to shrink as well as to permit the escape of moisture.
The principle involved in the Nichols dryer includes the subjection of the
veneer to a minimum surface pressure of three pounds per square inch during
the entire time of drying. In the installation of this machine a suitable hood
and flue should be built over the entire machine to insure ventilation.
The machine is built in any size required. A small machine with eight
platens 24"x68" in size will have a redrying capacity of 800 to 1000 feet per
hour and occupy floor space 60"x72"x84" high. A large sixteen platen machine
50 "x 100' will receive 500 feet of veneer at one charge and will dry 5000 feet
per hour. Floor space approximately 120'/xl20"x96" high. The minimum
time required to dry veneer under the guarantee is as follows: 1/20" thick
3 to 4 minutes, £■" thick 4 to 5 minutes, 14" thick 8 to 12 minutes, A " 12
to 16 minutes, ■ thick 18 to 22 minutes. Redrying requires approximately
25% of the above time.
The Merritt Balanced Plate Veneer Redryer is used for drying green veneer
for center stock as w ell as for redrying and flattening face veneer preliminary
to gluing. This machine is of the horizontal, hot plate, press type and the
principle involved in its operation contemplates the conversion of the moisture
in the wood into steam and expelling it meanwhile holding the sheets of veneer
firmly between heated plates which open at intervals to permit the veneer
to adjust itself. The only pressure on the stock is the weight of the plate above
it and this weight is automatically lifted at intervals by the breathing movement
of the machine. This breathing movement permits the shrinkage of the veneer
without checking and expells the saturated air from between the plates by the
bellows like action of the descending plate. The plates are connected in two
series, every alternate plate being in one series which balances the other series.
The plates in each series are moved as a unit by the reversing lever and each
plate, except the top and bottom ones, alternately closes on the veneer with
its bottom and top sides. One half the openings are at all times open and
ready to receive veneer and the other half are closed on the veneer which isbeing dryed. The veneer to be redryed is often in a badly warped, twisted and
brittle condition and if suddenly straightened out would be sure to break. To
eliminate breakage the idle openings of this machine are of a height to receive
the warped stock without straightening out. The veneer lies in these openings
untd it is warmed up and rendered pliable by the conversion of its moisture
content into steam, the machine is then reversed by the lever motion and the
tempered veneer flattened out and dryed and the other series of openings
used as tempering chambers. To permit shrinkage of the stock without
checking an automatic power operated motion of the plates takes place at
intervals. This motion opens the spaces in which the veneer is drying momen-
tarily and gives the stock opportunity to shrink. The bellows like action
of the plates in settling into place on the veneer expells the saturated air.
This motion is called the breathing motion. The machine is built entirely
of iron and steel and embodies self-contained steam piping. The plates have
a maximum motion of 1" which opens a loading space 2 " high. The mechanism
which operates the breathing movement may be driven by a two to three-inch
belt or by a direct mounted, geared motor. This machine is built with 8, 12
and 16 plates in the following sizes 60"x56", 72"x36", 84 "x54", 100 "x52",
100 "x78".
A smaller machine of the same type is also built by the same company.
This machine comprises three plates and two openings only. The top and
bottom plates are stationary, a vertical direct motor driven motion of the
central plate providing the breathing motion, by alternating the pressure on
the veneer in the openings above and below it.

Veneer Dish Cutting Machine, Automatic Type.
Builders:
Defiance Machine Works.
The Defiance machine is used for cutting oval wood dishes or plates from
blocks of maple or other hard wood which have previously been boiled or
steamed to soften them. Four standard sizes of dishes are made, No. 1,
7 'A"x5 M"; No. 2, 6 *4"x8"; No. 3, 6 %"x9"; and No. 5, 7 J4"x9 A”. The blocks
from which the dishes are cut are gotten out one-half inch larger than the size
of dish and of any thickness up to 24". The machine has a capacity of 7500
dishes per hour.
Machine is built on a heavy cored base with extended top which forms
slides on which the work holding carriage operates. At the front of machine,
at right angles to the slides on which the carriage travels is the cutter spindle.
This spindle carries a hollow, circular, revolving cutter which shaves a dish
off the face of the block at each revolution. Between each revolution of the
circular knife a facing cutter shaves off the face of the block to make the dishes
of uniform size. Both these knives are of the fixed type and their only motion
is that required to force them through the wood after the fashion of a veneer
slicing knife. All motions are automatic and a finished dish is produced at
each stroke of the knife until the block is exhausted, when this occurs the
feed automatically stops and the carriage is run back to receive a fresh block.

This type machine is used for pressing up the joints in face veneer
moistening and feeding the gummed tape on to the joint and pressing same
onto the wood.
The Black No. 202-A machine is built on a cored base plate from which
two square cored pedestals rise to carry the cast iron table. The countershaft
with tight and loose and three-step cone pulley is mounted horizontally below
the table. Running from end to end of table, flush with the surface are two feed
chains located close together and converging slightly in the direction of travel.
Above the chains, mounted on an overhanging arm with 36" throat, are three
idle rolls which may be of cast iron or rubber. One roll is located over each
feed chain and the third roll at the rear is positioned half way over each chain.
In operation the veneer is mounted, one piece on each chain, where it is held
firmly by the rolls and drawn together by the converging action of the chains
which are driven at exactly the same speed by octagon sprockets on one shaft.
The third roll presses the moistened and gummed tape into place on the joint.
A flat pressure foot located between the rolls holds the veneer down on the
chains and prevents overlapping of the joint. The reel on which the tape is
mounted together with the moistening device is carried above the table on the
overhanging arm. The tape is drawn from the reel over the moistening roll,

to govern the amount of water brought up, and by means of suitable rolls
and guides is led to its position over the joint. The arc of contact of the tape
with the moistening roll is adjustable. The tank is fitted with an electric
heating device and a warm air drying device which largely increases the
efficiency of the machine is also provided. This latter device involves a small
blower at the rear of machine from which the air is conducted by suitable
tubing to a heating chamber where it is heated to the required degree by an
electric heater from whence it is delivered to a perforated distributer box. The
moistened tape passes in front of this distributer and the stream of air played
upon it instantly converts the moistened adhesive into a jelly which has a
high degree of adhesion. The tape thus prepared passes under the roller and
adheres at once to the veneer so that a high feed rate is possible. Tins heating
apparatus is provided with adjustable dampers for control of the heated air.

Veneer Presses, Screw Type.
Builders:
American W. W. Machinery Co. Chas. E. Francis Co.
Wm. P. Greenhill & Son.	Handy Mfg. Co.
Prior to the development of the Hydraulic and Power types of veneer
press, the screw press was universally us ed for all kinds of veneering and built-up
work. At the present time, however, the Hydraulic or Power Driven typo press
has the preference where large capacity and continuous operation are required.
The screw press is used on special and in cases where the production does not
indicate the installation of the more improved machines.
Screw presses may be roughly divided for the purpose of this description
into throe classes: (A) The sectional, cast iron type which comprises a com-
paratively narrow cast iron base with the upper surface planed up to form
a true platen and a cast top beam carried by four round steel tension rods
which make into the four comers of the base. The top beam is usually of arch
shape and is re-enforced by steel rods drawn across the arch and anchored at
each end. One or several screws are mounted in the top beam. _ This type
press is designed to be used singly for work within its range and in multiple
for large work. (B) The complete cast iron press which is composed of a cast
iron base and top beam with steel tension rods similar to the sectional press.
The complete press is however designed to be used singly and is built in sizes
to accommodate the largest stock to be glued. The screws in this type press
may or may hot be fitted with cast iron platens and are usually adjustable
both laterally and longitudinally to any required position. (C) The complete
steel press which is built wholly of structural steel, steel plates and steel rods.
It is otherwise similar in design and use to the complete cast iron press. The
complete presses of either type are often fitted to use retaining clamps and
the larger sizes are provided with special roller devices for loading and unloading
units of stock.
The presses built by the American W. W. Machinery Co. are of the sectional
type and are built in five sizes as per the following schedule. The dimensions
given are in the clear.No. 986, Continued.

Groenhn & Son build several types of presses among which is the “Newell”
press which involves a central vertical cast member with projections on each side
of the bottom to carry the bed or lower platen and similar projections on each
side at the top carry the screws. These presses are used in series and have
range for stock of a maximum width of 16" and any required length. The
theory of this type press is that the strain on one side is equalized by the
strain on the other side so that the central, vertical member is in tension.
The sections are permanently connected to make a double-faced press of any
required length. Built in two sizes with maximum distance between follower
and bed of 18" and 80". The same company also build the standard typo of
sectional press as well as a special type in which the tension rods at or.e side
are readily removed to form an open side press for convenience in loading.
The Francis sectional presses are of the standard design and are built
with either square head or ratchet operated screws. Top beam is fitted with
steel rods and the cast iron base is planed up and fitted with feet designed
for mounting on timbers at each side for the purpose of lining the presses
up for multiple use. The following standard sizes are built. The dimensions
in all cases are inside the tension rods and the height is the maximum distance
between follower and bed. The greater height is obtained when square head
screws are used.

The above larger size complete presses are built with cast base and top
member connected by steel tension rods at the four comers and may or may
not be fitted with an extra tension rod in the rear center. Screws and nuts
are fitted to movable housings and are adjustable in either direction. Screws
are 2" diameter by 24" long with Acme threads and ratchet flanges.
The Francis Steel Complete Presses comprises a base built up of four
heavy channels, covered by lateral I-beams wh’ch in turn are covered by
a one-piece steel plate. The top section is of the same construction except that
the lateral I-beams are replaced by adjustable channel steel housings which
carry the screws and nuts. The round steel comer posts pass between the
channels at each corner and are held by heavy nuts. Adjustable, ratchet
operated screws are fitted and the entire press is designed to stand a strain
of 20,000 lbs. per screw. Built with or without removable center tension bars.
Special malleable retaining bars with machined surfaces and nutted rods
are furnished for use with any of the Francis Complete Presses. The presses
of open side typo may be provided with a roller loading and unloading device
for use in connection with the retaining bars and rods. This device comprises
two trains of rollers mounted in steel channels located laterally on each end
of the platen. Those roll trains extend out from the press so that a package of
stock may be run out on them and clear the press. The roller beams are fitted
with a simultaneous vertical motion by hand lever and when pressure is
applied in the press the rolls are dropped to allow the strain to come on the
retaining bars. To remove the completed unit from the press the rolls are
raised and the unit run out over a factory truck, lowered onto the retaining
bars and the rolls removed. To load the press the above process is reversed.No. 986, Continued

Veneer Presses, Hot Plate Hydraulic Type.
Builders:
Merritt Engineering & Sales Co.
A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd.
This typo of press is employed in the manufacture of waterproof plywood
which is a product formed by cementing together two or more layers of wood
with the grain of alternate layers crossing. In this process the stock is placed
between steom heated plates suspended one above the other and closed by
hydraulic cylinders. The combined heavy pressure and heat produce a plywood
that is practically waterproof. The material in this typo of press is completely
dryod at the same time it is compressed and is ready for machining as soon
as it leaves the press. Presses of this type are usually designed with special
reference to the particular service expected from them. The governing factors
in the design being the number and size of the plates, the required opening
between plates and the required pressure per square inch.*;
The Merritt presses of this typo embody a press head, base, bolster and
pressure head of standard I-beam construction, cast stool cylinders and glands
and semi-steel plungers. In the larger sizes a squaring attachment is fitted
to insure parallel motion of the plates. Steam connections involve the latest
typo of swing joint. The hot plates involve a framework of heavy steel tubes
c’ectrically welded together. The frame thus formed is machined to a uniform
thickness and to the flat surfaces thus formed steel plates are electrically
welded and the built-up plate is ground to a true surface and uniform thickness.
The steam circulation is confined to the tubular frame and all joints under
pressure are electrically welded.
The Farquhar Hot Plate Presses embody structural stool frames, stool
tension rods and heavy rugged design throughout. They are built in a wide
range of regular and special sizes and some of the larger presses are operated
by six or more hydraulic cylinders capable of producing enormous pressures.

Veneer Presses, Hydraulic Type.
Builders:

The hydraulic type veneer press is used for veneering all kinds of panel
stock, flush doors, piano, furniture and other stock. It is also extensively
used on three-ply package and box stock. This typo press is uccd where largo
production is re quired and is always employed in connection with some system
of trucks and retaining clamps as described in the following paragraph.
One of the great advantages of the hydraulic press is the fact that the
amount of pressure may bo accurately gauged and as accurately duplicated
on succeeding charges. Another advantage is that the pressure is evenly
distributed over the entire area of the platen and is applied simultaneously,
no one portion receiving pressure in advance of any other portion. These
same advantages are, of course, present in the bolt or motor driven presses
described in the next paragraph but one.
The required pressure depends upon the kind and thickness of the face
veneer, condition and kind of core stock, the glue and the manner in which
the stock is prepared and may vary from 100 lbs per square inch upward.
One hundred pounds per square inch is however sufficient for most work and
may bo called a standard pressure. Thin face veneer nicely prepared and laid
on a soft core requires far less pressure than is necesasry where the opposite
condition occurs. Too little pressure fails to produce good work and too muchNo. 988, Continued
spoils the stock. To determine the gauge pressure required to produce a
specified square-inch pressure, multiply the area of the stock in square inches
by the desired pressure per square inch and divide the product by the area
of the press ram in square inches.
Smaller sizes of presses are often fitted with direct attached vertical
pumps driven by connecting rods from a belt or motor driven crank shaft
mounted at the top of the press. The medium and larger sizes are operated
by independent belt or motor driven pumps of two, three or four plunger
type capable of producing working pressures up to 2500 lbs. per square inch
of more. This type press is installed above and below the operating floor
and requires about three to five feet below the floor and six to eight feet head
room above the floor.
The Farquhar presses embody double structural steel heads and bases
connected by four cold rolled steel bars 2" to 4 ]4" diameter. The size of the
steel ranges from an 8" I-beam in the smallest to a 20" I-beam in the largest
press. Cylinders are of steel with detached steel saddle and grey iron ram and
may be repacked without dismantling press or removing ram.
The Francis presses are of the open side type and embody structural
steel, plate covered upper and cast iron lower platens, steel frames and cold
rolled steel tension bars which serve also as guides for the platen.
The presses built by the Hydraulic Press Mfg. Co. comprise steel top
and bottom frames connected by round cold rolled bars and cast, semi-steel
platens. Hydraulic cylinders are of one-piece, open hearth steel castings and
may or may not be copper lined. The standard presses are built with cylinder
and ram at the bottom but where head room below the operating floor is
limited an inverted type is built with cylinder and platen at the top.
The standard vertical opening of this class press is approximately 36".
The machines in the following schedule are all of single cylinder type except
where the cylinder diameter is repeated which repetition indicates number of
cylinders.

Veneer Press Retaining Clamps, Trucks, Etc.
Builders:
A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd.
Chas. E. Francis Co.
Lourie Co.
Hydraulic Press Mfg. Co.
E. B. VanAtta Co.
To obtain the full efficiency of the hydraulic presses described in the
preceding paragraph they are used in connection with a system of trucks
and retaining clamps whereby the stock is glued and piled to the standard
height of 36 " on a truck and the whole unit of stock and truck placed on the
press. Pressure is then applied and the retaining clamps are tightened in place.
Pressure is then released and the package of stock removed and allowed to
dry the pressure being held by the retaining clamps. This system gives an
almost unlimited capacity to the press.
The VanAtta system of retaining clamps and trucks comprise wooden
floor stands, retaining bars of I-beam construction and a lift truck. One of the
floor stands is located at the glue spreader and the bottom members of the
retaining clamps together with a caul plank are placed thereon. The glued
stock is then assembled to the standard height and the top caul plank and
retaining bars placed in position. The lift truck is then used to place the unit
in the press. The truck and stand remain in the press while the pressure
is applied to the unit of veneer. As the pressure comes on the glued
veneers the retaining rods are slipped on to the hooks of the retaining bars
and the tum-buckels tightened by hand. The pressure is then released and
the stock removed and allowed to dry on the floor stand. The lift truck is
released as soon as the clamped-up unit is located in dry storage.
The retaining bars are made in different lengths to take stock from 18"
to 60" wide, in 6" steps. They are made of steel I-beams from 4" to 8" inNo. 989, Continued
size and are designed for a spacing of about 12 * on the package of stock. On
each end of the I-beam a two-step hook is mounted. While the stock is under
pressure the looped ends of the retaining rods are slipped over the inner hooks
and the tumbuckles tightened by hand. When the stock is to be re’eased a
slight pinch by a short bar backs the loop off onto the second step of the hook
and releases the tension on the tumbuckle so that it can be backed off by
hand. This device renders it unnecessary to turn the threads of the tum-
buckle while under heavy stress.
Apparatus for two different systems is furnished by the Hydraulic Press
Mfg. Co. These are the Independent and the Combination. The former
is used either with or without trucks and in the latter case contemplates
building the unit of stock directly on the platen of the press upon which the
retaining bars have been laid. When the stock is built up to the standard
height it is pressed and the retaining clamps applied and the package removed.
This system when used with trucks contemplates building the unit to proper
height, at the glue spreader, upon a special truck which is so designed that
when in the press the pressure is taken on the truck bolsters the truck wheels
dropping into pockets in the platen of the press. When the unit is completed
at the glue spreader it is run into the press and pressed and retained in the
usual manner. The press is fitted with automatic arms which extend into
the truck wheel pockets of the platen and raise the truck wheels to a level as
the platen descends. The truck is then run out of the press. Several different
types of retaining bars and rods are offered. One comprises single I-beams
fitted with clamps which hook over the flange and receive the ends of straight
rods with tumbuckle in the center. Another type has retaining bars composed
of two channels with wood separators. Straight rods with tumbuckles are
used and are fitted with a slotted wedge type of washer under the head so
that tens'on on the threads may be released by a hammer tap on the washer.
The Combination system contemplates building the unit on a special
truck which embodies the retaining bars. The unit is pressed while on this
truck and remains on the same truck until it has dried and passed to the
first machine operation. The trucks are built of wood or steel with four or
six wheels and of two typos, flanged to run on permanent rails and the other
flat tired for floor operation. When cars are run on tracks the complete system
includes transfer cars as indicated by the layout. The entire process of gluing,
pressing, drying and machining may by this system be continuous.
The Francis retaining bars are of the single and double I-beam type.
The single type which is recommended by the makers employs 4" 10 y2 lb.
beams and straight 1" rods with four inch pitch, right and left threads and
forged stool turnbuckles. Malleable “C” shaped castings on the ends of the
rods hook over the flange of the beams.
The Francis system embodies a truck fitted with a series of rolls on its
top upon which the unit of stock is built up. The truck is then moved on
tracks to the press where the rolls line up with a similar train of rolls on the
platen. The unit is then rolled on to the platen and the roll trains lowered
by a lever motion so that the pressure comes on the retaining bars. When
retaining clamps have been tightened the pressure is released, the rolls raised
and the unit of pressed and retained stock rolled out on extensions of the
platen rolls to a position over an ordinary factory truck. Rolls are then lowered
and withdrawn and the unit is left resting on the retaining bars on the factory
truck until dry. The Francis Co. is also prepared to furnish equipment for
overhead trolley and hoist systems for handling the units from the press.
The Farquhar system contemplates trucks upon which the unit is built
up, pressed, retained and dried. Each truck remains with its unit of veneered
stock until the same goes to the first milling machines.No. 990.
Veneer Presses, Power or Motor Driven Type.
Builders:
Black Brothers Co. Inc.
Frank Diehl.
This tyro of press is used for the same class of work as the hydraulic
machines and is usually driven by a direct attached motor but may if required
be belted from any other source of power.
The Diehl press is an all steel motor driven machine, built in sizes from
24"x60" up. The base of this press is composed of heavy longitudinal channels
at front and rear which are covered by lateral I-beams which in turn are covered
by a one-piece steel plate. From each comer of the base round steel posts,
threaded at the top, rise to servo as guides for the top platen. Top platen
is of the same construction as the base and carries on its top a 10 H. P. motor
connected by silent chain drive to a powerful system of reducing gears. Running
on the threads of the comer posts are four, gear driven nuts which give a
vertical travel to the entire top works through a range of 32". All gears are
cut from solid semi-steel and are accurately mounted for quiet operation.
Automatic limit stops are fitted for the platen travel at both extremes and
a lever operated speed changing mechanism provides quick platen movement
for adjusting and slow movement for pressing. Motor control and pressure
indicator are mounted on the frame. Total height of machine above floor
line is 122". The same machine is also built for belt drive.
The Black Brothers motor driven press is a complete, self-contained
unit which can be installed on any floor, competent to carry the load, without
any special foundation. The machine is built largely of structural steel, steel
parts and semi-steel castings, all designed with a large factor of safety. The
design is unique and embodies two vertical screws four inches or more in
diameter journaled at their center on the structural steel end frames of the
machine and driven by worm gearing at their lower ends. Above and below
the central journals on these screws are heavy nuts carried on large square
semi-steel housings. The nut housings are each provided with two rectangular
slots which receive loosely the ends of the I-beams which form the top and
bottom platens of the press. The I-beams, one on each side of the screw at
top and bottom extend the length of the press from screw to screw and rest
loosely in the slots of the nut housings with contact on curved rockers. The
platens thus have considerable freedom of motion to align themselves with
uneven packages of stock.
In operation of this Black press the stock is built up on a special truck
with extending arms and is run over the lower platen of the press. The screws
being started the lower platen rises, at the sam i time the upper one is descending,
and lifts the package from the truck. The method of removing stock from
the press is of course the reverse of that just described. The points claimed
for this press are: the freedom of the platens to adjust themselves to uneven
units, the simu'taneous movement of both upper and lower platens and the
fact that the entire pressing strain falls on the heavy screws in tension and
no part of the load comes on the frame of machine or foundation.
The screws are driven by a built-in, reversible, motor mounted on the
base of machine at one end and operating in connection with a duplex friction
clutch which drives a two-speed chain transmission giving a h:gh speed for
positioning the platens and a slow speed for pressing. Motor is controlled
by a drum switch. The pressure gauge operates on the power measurement
principle and measures the current consumption of the motor less the friction
load. The dial is graduated in square feet based on 100 lbs. pressure per square
inch. When the indicator reaches the number corresponding to the square
inches in the package being pressed, the pressure therefore is 100 lbs. per square
inch. Control is mounted at end of machine and may be either of two systems.
The No. 1 system involves starting and stopping push buttons operating
through the motor control box, adjustable travel limit switches and standardoverload and low voltage protection. The No. 2 system incorporates the features
of the first system and in addition is fitted with an overload relay which stops
the press automatically at any pre-determined pressure per square inch. This
apparatus works in connection with a dial graduated to correspond with the
pressure gauge. A pointer on this gauge set to the desired pressure adjusts
the relay so that the motor is automatically cut out when that pressure is
reached.

machine as it planes the side of the rim either straight or tapering at the
same operation. Machine is built on a cored base plate from one end of which
rises a pedestal which carries at the top a cutter head spindle and a feed roll
shaft, both horizontal. Mounted on the side of pedestal is a vertical cutter
head spindle. Opposite this pedestal is another shorter pedestal which carries
vertically adjustable horizontal ways on which a compound carriage is operated
by screw and handwheel. This carriage is fitted with a three-jaw universal
chuck in which the hub of the wheel is mounted. Cutter head spindle and
feed roll shaft are located radially as regards the hub when same is in position
in the chuck. The feed roll is cone shaped and directly beneath it is located
an idle roll. The horizontal spindle carries a four-knife cutter head and the
vertical spindle is fitted with wabble saw type of cutter. The feed roll is
driven by cut gearing and three rates of feed are provided. The wheel to be
finished is mounted with the hub in the chuck and fed in towards the cutter
heads by the screw and handwheel until it is in contact with the feed roll
which then rotates it under the edge dressing head and against the wabble
saw cutter. A cam mounted on the base of the chuck governs the shape of
tread. This cam rides on a roller fixed to the lower section of compound carriage;
a round cam or disc does not move the wheel in or out and produces a round
tread. A cam with high points, suitably located backs wheel away from the
wabble cutter at the rim joints and leaves tread high at those points which
is desired by some makers. Net weight 3700 lbs. Floor space 85 "x96". Motor

. J. A. Fay & Egan Co.
Kane & Roach.
The Defiance No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 machines are used for cutting vehicle
wheel spokes to exact length after they have been assembled in the hub and
at the same operation cutting the round tenons to fit the holes in rim and are
typical of this class machine.
The No. 1 machine is the smallest of the line and is adapted to the cutting
of tenons from ys" to 1" diameter or by the use of another head from %"
to 1A". Machine is built on a cored pedestal which carries the horizontal,
belted, cutter head spindle at the top. This spindle slides through and is
feathered to a long sleeve which carries the driving pulley and rotates in bronze
bearings. Spindle is moved through the sleeve, to and from the work by a
hand lever the motion being governed by stops which are fitted with a screw
adjustment for regulating the tenon length. The cutter head is of the Acme
type and carries the concave cut-off saw on its face. Mounted in bearings
cast solid with the pedestal are two steel bars which extend horizontally and
parallel with the cutter head spindle. On these bars is fitted the wheel holding
fixture which comprises two taper cup centers mounted on horizontal spindles.
The bars on which the fixture is mounted are graduated and are adjustable
horizontally by screw and handwheel to regulate the diameter of the wheel.
Wheel is mounted in the cup centers with the spokes in a vertical plane and
revolved against the saw to bring the spokes to exact length. Spokes are
then tenoned each spoke in turn being gripped between pedal operated “V”
jaws, and the tenoning head brought up to the work by the hand lever. An
attachment may be fitted to this machine for tenoning automobile and artillery
wheel spokes before they are assembled in the hub. This attachment fits on
the steel bars as a unit and is easily put on or off. Net weight machine 1100
lbs. Floor space 36"x75". Motor 3 H. P.
The No. 2 machine of this type is especially designed for use on automobile
heavy wagon, truck and artillery wheels. The machine is built on a heavy,
cored frame which carries on top a hinged housing in which the horizontal,
belted, cutter head spindle is mounted. Cutter head spindle slides through
a splined sleeve by the operation of a hand lever. At the front of machine is
a vertically adjustable knee, w’th horizontal slides on which a saddle
is adjustable. This saddle is fitted with a three-jaw univerasl chuck in which
the wheel hub is mounted with the spokes extending horizontally. The
wheel is revolved in a horizontal plane against the concave saw mountedon the cutter head spindle and the spokes cut to length. Tenons are then cut
in the same manner as on the No. 1 machine. For wheels of very small diameter
where the concave saw will not enter between two spokes an auxilary saw is.
provided which is employed to cut the first spoke. This saw is mounted on
a horizontal arbor in a hinged frame below the cutter head spindle and when
it is brought up to cut the first spoke the frame which carries the cutter head
spindle is swung up out of the way. Net weight 24,00 lbs. Floor space 50 "x75 ".

The Defiance No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 machines are similar in design and
operation, differing only in size and range and are used for automatically as-
sembling wheel rims onto the spokes.
This type machine is built on a heavy cored base which carries at the
top four horizontal plungers provided with independent screw adjustment
and located radially as regards the hub which is mounted in a revolvable,
vertical chuck. The plungers are actuated simultaneously towards the hub
by means of a gear driven, friction clutch controlled mechanism. In oper-
ation the plungers are adjusted so that the first one merely starts the rim
onto the spokes, the next one presses it on further, the next one still further
and the fourth and last plunger presses it home against the shoulder of
spoke tenon. A cut-off saw located in the housing which carries the central,
vertical spindle on which the chuck is mounted is used to cut the joints
on the rim after same has been pressed home on the spokes. This saw is
brought up by pedal motion and is returned automatically. Floor space

This class of machine which is capable of performing a great variety
of work in a very satisfactory manner is used in large plants for odd jobs and
special work thus avoiding interruption of the routine on the regular production
tools. It is also used in small shops as practically the entire machine equipment.
The principle contemplated in the design of the machine is that of mounting
machines of standard type and size upon a base plate or frame common to
all and driving the entire combination from one countershaft.
The Crescent No. 51-59 machine is a compact combination of band saw,
shaper, jointer, saw table and boring machine all mounted on one sole plate
and driven by one belt from line shaft or motor. The sole plate is a heavy,
cored, one-piece casting with planed pads on the top to which the various
units are bolted. When motor driven, the motor of 7 34 to 10 H. P. is mounted
on an extension of the sole plate and belted to the main shaft from which the
various urn’ts are independently driven. The sole plate is mounted on two station-
ary and one swivel caster which are operated by screws and may be readily
raised for portability or set back to permit the sole plate to rest firmly on
the floor. Where the motor is mounted on sole plate this design makes for
complete portability.

round, thin knife cylinder and tables 34" long by 36" from floor line. Steel
lips may be fitted to both tables. Fence, hold-down springs and gauges are
standard equipment. Cylinder makes 4000 R. P. M.
The Shaper unit is of the single spindle reversible type and is mounted
at the rear of the jointer table which is utilized for jointing or shaping. Spindle
is 1" diameter above the table, has 4 34" knife space, runs in self-oiling babbit
bearings with ball end step and is started, stopped or reversed by hand lever.
The shaper spindle may be used in connection with the jointer for squaring
up or for working one side and one edge.. Speed 4500 R. P. M.
The Saw Table is of cast iron 30"x38" in size and is mounted at 36"
from the floor line on three cored columns, machined top and bottom and bolted
to machined seats on sole plate and table. This table is accurately planed
and is fitted with suitable cutting off and ripping gauges. Both gauges are
of the angling type and are fully graduated. Range is to rip stock to 20" wide
and swing saws to 14 " which project 4 ". Arbor is mounted in self-oiling bearings
in a screw adjusted yoke and is driven at 3000 R. P. M.
The Boring Attachment is of the horizontal type and involves a table
8 "x24 " operating on round rods through a range of 8 " and vertically adjustable
by screw through a 6" range. Spindle is l\i" diameter, carries a self-centering
chuck of 14" capacity and has capacity to operate bits to a maximum of 134"
Speed 1500 R. P. M.
Attachments for band ripping, band resawing, tenoning, panel raising,
rounding, grinding, disc sanding, turning, hollow chisel mortising, spoke
tenoning and equalizing may be fitted to the above machine the frame of which
is fitted and drilled to receive the various attachments.

Wood Flour Machine, Air Separation Type.
Builders:
E. H. Stroud & Co.
This machine is used in the production of wood flour sawdust, planer
chips, hog wood, etc. The product is used in the manufacture of linoleum,
dynamite and for various other purposes. The machine comprises a grinding
chamber, an air separation chamber, an exhaust fan and a centrifugal collector.
No screens are used and the material need not be bone dry to pulverize succes-
fully. The machine is very thoroughly built and all bearings are of phosphor
bronze and are located outside the grinding chambery Power is applied
between bearings and no fly wheel is needed. The direct product is so fine
that, if tested dry, 80% or more will pass through a testing screen of 40x40
to 80x80 or finer mesh. The machine is built in five sizes.
In operation the raw material is received in the grinding chamber on
a series of zig-zag segments and is ground by a massive grinding wheel fitted
with steel beaters operating in connection with steel impinging bars and ratchet
shaped side lining plates set obliquely to the axis of the grinding wheel. While
the grinding operation is in progress a current of air induced by the fan enters
the grinding chamber and passes through the material being ground. This
continuous air current lifts from the grinding mass all particles which have
been reduced to a size within the scope of the particular velocity of air current
in use. The loaded current of air passes upward through the machine, past
the impinging bars and to the air separation chamber the area of which is
much greater than that of the grinding chamber. The increased area causes
an expansion of the product burdened air and a consequent reduction of
velocity so that all particles larger than can be carried by the expanded air
are precipitated on the inclined surfaces of the chamber and are returned
by gravity to the grinding chamber for furthur reduction. All particles retained
in suspension and delivered through the centrifugal separator are therefore
of the required fineness. The degree of fineness is directly governed by the
velocity of the air current and is subject to close regulation. Delivery of the
product may be beside the machine or an up-blast fan may be used to make
delivery at any required height.
The Class 0 or smallest machine takes raw material in the form of cubes
of a maximum diameter of down to sawdust. Floor space 22"x36''x62<'
high. May be driven at 4000 R. P. M. by a belted motor of 10 H. P.
The Class 3 or largest usual machine takes material in the form of cubes
up to a maximum size of 2” square. Floor space 60"x75"xl44" high. May
be driven at 1900 R. P. M. by motor of 50 H. P.
The product of these machines which is entirely dependent on the kind
and condition of wood used will range from 9 lbs. to 16 lbs. per H. P. hour
of an 80x80 mesh, 80% fine wood flour.No. 1002.
Window Frame Pocket Cutting Machines.
Builders:
Austin & Eddy.
Lamson Cutter Head Co.
Millbury Machine Co.
This type machine is used for cutting pockets in the jambs of window
frames for the insertion of the sash weights which work is accomplished complete
at one operation leaving the pocket piece ready to be- knocked loose and returned
to place where it is held by one or two screws.
Two different variations of the same machine are built, the one cutting
an opening with rabbet on both sides and ends and the other cutting plain
sides with rabbetted ends. The machines are built on a cored pedestal
with cast iron table. The machine that cuts the rabbetted sides as well as the
ends is fitted with two horizontal saw arbors one above and one below the
table, both driven by one belt from the countershaft in base of machine.
Two rip saws are mounted between spacing collars on each arbor, those on
one arbor being spaced slightly wider than on the other arbor. In operation
the jamb is placed on the table against a fence and end stop and the. saws
on both the upper and lower arbors are brought into the cut by the operation
of a pedal. Each saw cuts into the jamb far enough to meet the cut of the
other saw and as one pair of saws is spaced farther apart than the other a
shoulder is formed when the piece is broken loose. With the saws in the cut
the jamb is pushed forward against a stop and the sides of the pocket are
thus completed. The pedal is then released which clears the saws from the
wood and the jamb returned to the stop which locates both ends of the side
saw cuts under' the reciprocating Cut-off saws or spurs and is there clamped
by lever operated clamps.r- j The reciprocating saws, one on the top and one
on the bottom at each end are brought to the cut by the action of a pedal
and the ends of the pocket cut from each side of the jamb the saws being so
located that a shouldered cut is made same as on the sides. These end cutting
saws are flat slotted pieces of steel with teeth on one end. Those for cutting
2y/ pockets are 1 A" wide and are reciprocated with a stroke. The end
saws may be adjusted so as to leave the shoulder of the rabbet on opposite
sides of the jamb in which case one screw holds the pocket piece in place.
In case the saws are adjusted to leave the rabbet shoulders both on the same
side two screws are necessary to fasten the loose piece. This type of machine
leaving as it does a shoulder all around the pocket makes a tight job.
The other type of machine is like that just described except that the upper
arbor and saws are omitted. The saws on the bottom arbor cut through the
jamb leaving a plain side cut with no shoulders. The end cutting saws of
this machine cut from each side as in the former machine and leave a shoulder
on the same or on opposite sides of the jamb. In either type of machine the
cuts of the saws do not meet and the pocket cover is not cut free. When the
jamb is removed from the machine a light tap of the hammer breaks the piece
loose.
Either type of machine may be driven by a motor of 3 H. P., 600 R. P. M.

Motor Driven Saw Mills.
Extracts from a paper read by Mr. Allan E. Hall, Manager Milling
Machinery Department of the Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. before the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, December, 1920.
The customary method of rating a saw mill is by the number of thousand
feet, board measure, cut per ten hour day. The power requirement varies
widely but will range between 4 y2 for mills cutting small and medium pine
logs up to 8 H. P. per thousand feet for the heavy Pacific Coast mills. The
planing mill equipment which is a usual adjunct to the modern saw mill will
require from 2 to 3 y2 H. P. per thousand feet milled so that the total power
demand of a modern mill will range from 6 y2 to 11 y2 H. P. per thousand feet
of output.
In specifying motors for saw mill service it is well to bear in mind that
very sudden and very great peaks are common and that the motors must
be competent to deal with this condition. Broadly speaking it has been found
that in a modem, well designed mill the load factor on the entire mill will
approximate 60% of the motor rating,
Certain parts of the equipment in mills of either the belt Or direct motor
driven type are ordinarily driven by direct-acting steam units. This direct
steam driven apparatus includes (A) The Log Kicker which throws the log
out of the trough in which it is hauled into the mill. (B) The Log Deck Stop
and Loader which holds the log in position for loading and throws it ontoNo. 1007, Continued
the carriage when required. (C) The Nigger used to turn the log on the carriage
between cuts. (D) The Pacific Coast Log Turner which does the same work
as the nigger in a different manner. (E) Jump Saws used for cross cutting
heavy stock. (F) Hinged Transfer Skids used for diverting stock from the
roll trains as required. (G) Raising Cylinders for the press rolls of edgers,
gang mills and similar machines as well as the raising cylinders for trimmers.
These cylinders may be operated by steam but the use of compressed air is
more usual.
The equipment used for hauling logs into the mill and the overhead canter
used in connection with the nigger for turning large logs may be satisfactorily
driven by direct geared motors. The Band Mill may be driven by a direct
coupled motor but there are certain objections to this drive and a higher speed
belted motor is usually preferred. If the motor be coupled it must extend
through the mill floor where it is inconvenient for inspection and more or less
in the way. Furthermore to provide for saw speeds of approximately 10,000
,F. P. M. motors for direct connection would turn 375 to 400 R. P. M. This
low speed makes for a large, expensive motor. The same objections to direct
coupling obtain also in the case of Gang Mills and in lesser degree in the case
of Band Resaws.
The carriage upon which the log is traversed while being cut is almost
universally operated by steam either by the use of a reversible reciprocating
engine with direct connected drum and cable or by a direct-acting steam cylinder.
No electrical apparatus which combines the required simplicity and sensitive-
ness has thus far been developed.
The lumber handling system including live roll trains, chain transfers,
chain and belt conveyors, etc. may be driven by motors on the group system
or by the use of small direct connected motors. Filing room tools are usually
fitted for direct connection to small motors.
The following schedule gives motor ratings for the principal saw mill
machines according to the Allis-Chalmers practice. The motors except as
noted in the foregoing paragraphs may be direct connected to the machines
by flexible couplings.

include buildings, machinery and cost of erection including planing mill equip-
ment and are approximately correct for the year 1920. The figures indicate
that for the small and medium mill the motor driven plant is slightly higher
in cost and for the large mill slightly lower:
Single Band Mill Capacity 30 M Belted Type	$102,550.
Single Band Mill Capacity 30 M Motor Driven	113,550.
Double Band Mill with Resaw Capacity 120 M Belted Type	458,950.

Type “F” Surfacing MachinePage 4
FEBRUARY, 1924
Paragraph No. 165
Belt Surfacing Machines
The Belt Sanding or Polishing Machines, built by the Production Machine Co.,
Greenfield, Mass., while designed principally for metal work, would seem to be well
adapted to certain kinds of sanding in wood shops. These machines involve a new
principle in the use of abrasive belts—namely, the backing up of said abrasive belt
by a patented, leather, cushion belt, having herring bone corrugations in its surface.
This leather belt travels behind the abrasive belt and is in turn backed by a pedal or
automatically actuated platen for applying the necessary preBure of abra.iive belt to
the work. The principle underlying this construction embodies high cutting points,
with low clearance points immediately adjoining, same being caused by the angular
corrugations into which the belt is forced to travel. The cushion belt is operated at
7000 F.P.M. and the abrasive at a slightly higher speed to allow for a slight retarda-
tion at the cutting point caused by the curved travel of the abrasive due to the corruga-
tions of the leather belt.
The Type “F” machine, illustrated above, is designed for the automatic working
of flat pieces of all kinds. It has range forBtock 1/16 inch to 4 inches thick and up
to a maximum size of 5l x 18 inches. Floor space 45 x 104 inches. Weight 2600
pounds. Motor 10 H.P.
Other types of machines are built with automatic feeds for round stock and with
various attachments.
Porter-Cable Machine Co. are offering new direct motor driven, belt sanding
machine of the surfacing type. Like most of the P.-C. sanding machines, it is portable.
Belt is 10 inches wide by 64 inches long and travels over a cast iron platen at 3600
F.P.M. Sand belt driving pulley is mounted on the motor and the working tangent of
belt may be adjusted to any position between vertical and horizontal.

Gould Disc Cutting Machine
Paragraph No. 435	•	Disc Cutting Machines
The machine, illustrated herewith, is built by the Gould Mfg. Co., Oshkosh, Wis.
It is not only adapted to disc cutting but may be used for the same class of turnings
as the machines listed in paragraph No. 668. Capacity is to cut 600 or more pieces per
hour of a maximum diameter of 7 inches. The product may be plain or may be shaped
on the sides. Stock is prepared by cutting into square blanks which are automatically
fed from the hopper, clamped, cut and ejected. Cutter heads advance alternately and
do not quite sever the disc from the blank, leaving same to be knocked loose after
blank has been ejected. Motor 10 H.P. Floor space 28 x 60 inches. Weight 1200
pounds.
The Goodspeed Machine Co.’s Automatic DiBC Cutting Machine is somewhat similar
to the above Gould machine, except that the stock is not cut into squares but is fed
to the machine in long strips. All feeding, clamping, cutting and ejecting motions are
cam actuated at the rate of 30 to 60 cuts per minute. Motor 10 H.P. Floor space
83 x 90 inches. Weight 2150 pounds.
The process employed with the above Goodspeed machine contemplates the use of
stock double the thickness of the required discs and the use' of a special resaw, the cut
of which coincides with the unsevered portion of block. This Goodspeed Resaw is of
the wood frame type and embodies a 34-inch saw, power driven feed rolls and con-
veyor belts on each side of the saw to receive the discs, which at this operation are
released from the long blank. Motor 10 H.P. Floor space 49x80 inches. Weight 1600
pounds. Both the resaw and the disc cutter being fully automatic the two machines
may be handled by one operator.Page 8

Eaglesfield No. 8 Motor ShaperPage 16
FEBRUARY, 1924
R. D. Eaglesfield is building three new shapers of unique design and modern conj
struction as per the following schedule:
No. 800—Table	32 x 26	inches.	Sindle Cents.	12	inches.	Weight 1800	lbs.
No. .08—Table	48 x 35	inches.	Spindle Cent.	24	inches.	Weight 2400	lbs.
No. 8—Table	72 x 39	inches.	Spindle Cent.	30	inches.	Weight 2800	lbs.
As will be noted from the illustration herewith, the frame differs radically from
the usual construction and one of the drives' offered is also new. Motors are of the
vertical, ball bearing type and may be mounted in the usual manner with the rotors
on the spindles or they may be mounted in independent yokes. In the latter case the
spindle is driven by means of a special reinforced fibre, spur friction mounted on the
motor shaft and contacting a wide faced aluminum pulley on shaper spindle. The ad-
vantage of this method of drive lies in the fact that a spindle speed of 7200 R.P.M. is
obtained through the use of ordinary 60 cycle current. Where motor is mounted di-
rectly on the shaper spindle high frequency current must be employed for any speed
above 3600 R.P.M. Spindles are mounted in high grade ball bearings and the usual
motor control is fitted. The No. 8 machine is also built with top steady bearings and is
then known as No. 80.

Merritt Progressive Hot Plate Veneer Drier
Paragraph No. 980	Veneer Dryers
The new progressive veneer dryers, developed by the Merritt Engineering & Sales
Co., are unique in that they combine the Merritt Hot Plat^fSystem with its breathing
movements with the progressive features common to most dryers. In an 11-foot, four
run machine there are nine batteries of five plates each, making four runs of veneer
passing through the machine at one time. One, two and three run machines are also
built. Four of the hot plate batteries are on wheels and are provided with an oscillat-
ing movement, ranging from V2 inch to 5 inches, between the fiv® stationary batteries.
The hot plates are 12 inches wide and open and close in pairs. With each forward
movement *f the plates in a four run machine two runs of veneer are gripped between
the hot plates and advanced while the other two runs are held in the stationary plates.
With the reverse movement the two runs which first] fed forward are held stationary
and the two runs that were stationary on the forward feed, travel backward with the
opposite plates. The motion of the veneer through the machine is therefore in steps,
two runs remaining stationary and two moving at each step. The plates being but
12 inches wide the veneer gets pressure and contact of the heated plates in a fresh
place at each step. An automatic feed table at each end keeps the plates covered to
capacity.
The machine is very thoroughly constructed of iron, steel and bronze and em-
bodies ball, roller and ring oiling plain bearings which are provided with very com-
plete lubrication. A concrete foundation is required.

Paragraph No. 484 Cont.
Solem No. 430-A Direct Motored Sander
Paragraph No. 490	Dry Kilns
Notei-—This revision of paragraph 490 as well as the revision of paragraphs 498,
494, 680 has been prepared by Mr. Thomas D. Perry, General Manager, Grand Rapids
Vapor Kiln, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. Perry is a well known expert on dry kiln
matters and his kindness in contributing this matter is heartily appreciated by the
Editor.
The original artificial drier was a smoke kiln, now practically obsolete. This
was followed by the furnace kiln and the steam-coil kiln. Some woodworkers still
persist in using home-made equipment, but kiln design and building has become a
special branch of manufacturing that has its own recognized field.
Fig. 1 Showing (from Left to Right) Blower, Condenser and Ventilated Kilns.
(A, Heating unit; B, condensing unit; C, fresh-air inlet; D and D', used-air
outlets; E, lumber charge; and F, humidifying unit.)
The three main divisions into which lumber kilns may be grouped, as illustrated
in Fig. 1, are:
1.	Blower:	Mechanically forced ventilation* or recirculation, whether suction or
plenum method; moisture-laden air usually discharged out of doors ^
2.	Condenser: Generally of the gravity recirculating type, in which the air passes
over moisture-removal or condassing unit*, once in each interchange.
3.	Ventilated: Fresh air taken in and used air discharged direct from kiln to atmos-
phere, utilizing the fundamental laws of physics to obtain internal circulation.
To understand the range of the foregoing types it is necessary to outline the
moisture-removal problem from the standpoint of the lumber to be dried. Air drying
removes more moisture from the surface than from the center, and owing to the
length and width of a board, drying takes plaoe chiefly through the flat faces, rather
than through the ends or edges. The inevitable result is a surface drier than the in-
terior, and air-dried stock is therefore subject to an internal strain that often mani-
fests itself in the form of warp, twist, or other surface irregularities. The task for
the artificial dryer is to draw the center moisture out and have surface and interior
equally dry.SEPTEMBER, 1924
Page 9
Paragraph No. 490 Cont.
It is almost axiomatic that wood should not be subject to external or internal
strain during kiln drying, but it is practically impossible to obtain such a “strainless”
condition. The reduction of this drying strain to a minimum point is necessary to dry-
ing without damage to the lumber, the usual manifestations of which are checking,
warping, honey-combing, ‘hollowhorning,” etc. The chance of internal strain greatly
increases with the thickness of the wood to be dried: e. g., 1/16 in. veneer is prac-
tically all surface and can develop little internal strain in any kind of drying, while
4 in. green oak presents a decidedly stubborn drying problem, and taxes the skill of
the best operator in an efficiently controlled kiln.
These facts lead to the logical conclusion that where thickness is nominal, as in
the case of veneer, applied shellac, stain, filler, varnish, and glue, the speed of the
air movement in a blower kiln will remove moisture rapidly and cause no serious dam-
age, as there is little if any internal strain. Where thickness becomes appreciable
(% in. and up) the rapidly moving atmosphere of a blower kiln usually produces over-
dried surfaces and underdried interiors, resulting in uneven drying and unnecessary
interstrain that will inevitably damage the lumber. Even with attempted maintenance
of high humidities (difficult in blower kiln) the hazard i^'serious.
On the other hand, the slowness of the condensing kiln will make for accurate con-
trol, but the lack of speed may force the initial cost of installation to an excessive
amount. Condenser kilns are chiefly serviceable in the drying of *hick green woods
where internal strain is a decided danger.
Ventilated kilns may be grouped into three classes as indicated in Fig. 2, with
air outlets at top, side, or bottom.
Kilns of the first class are ventilated at the top either through the ceiling and
a cupola on the roof, or through openings in the side walls near the ceiling. Fresh
air is usually admitted near the floor and the air movement must be distinctly upward.
No difficulty will be encountered in securing ample air discharge, as hot air will

always rise and seek an exit. It is obvious that the hot air escaping will not be heavily
charged with moisture. Only to a limited extent is it possible to use this upward-
moving air as a moisture vehicle, because the increasing water-absorption capacity
accompanying higher temperatures will carry only a small amount of water vapor
without a net increase in weight. Any steam spray in this type tends to monopolize
the limited moisture deficit of the kiln air and to greatly decrease the drying power
as the air circulates upward through thevtllber.
The second class have air exits in the sides and air inlets usually at the bottom.
There is less of a scientific basis for this type than for either the first or the third
type. There ie great danger of “short-circuiting” the air across a corner of the kiln,
thus causing pockets in places where a lack of air movement prevents drying. The
use of steam spray or the handling of relatively moisture-laden atmosphere is no more
possible than in the first type.
The third type, which is often called “reversed” ventilation, has a downward
circulation with outlets at the bottom. The fresh-air inlets are at or near the ceiling
line and the damp-air exits are in the pit below the lumber. This method adapts it-
self most effectively to the handling of heavy moisture-laden air shown to be neces-
sary to dry the lumber uniformly. Whenever any portion of the atmosphere of the
kiln acquires a substantial amount of moisture, it will lose temperature, increase in
weight, and settle. It is therefore necessary to provide an adequate damp-air ac-
cumulation pit below the lumber, and to supply chimneys or stacks with sufficient
draft to carry this moisture-laden air up and out. Heavy air that has settled into a
pit will not readily be drawn up a stack. Steam-heated pipes in the stacks will ac-
complish this and at the same time keep the water vapor from condensing on the
interior of stacks or at their top outlets. _ This type gives opportunity for excellent
control, as any humidity can be handled and the air discharge be under positive con-
trol under various climatic conditions. For high-grade work it affords reliable regu-Page 10

lation of the three essentials: temperature, humidity, and circulation.
Many of the combinations of mechanical apparatus are covered by United States
and foreign patents, although the fundmental elements have been in use too long to
have further protection.
EXISTING STANDARDS
Kilns may be end-pile or cross-pile, i. e. boards may be parallel or at right angles
to the rails (Fig. 3), depending largely on factory and yard arrangements. End-
pile gives slightly better internal circulation, although this is rarely determinative.
Fig. 3. Transverse Section of a Kiln, Showing Cross-Pile (At Left)
and End-Pile (At Right).
Kiln cars are normally 16 ft. long by 6 ft. wide for crosfepiling, and 16 ft. long
by 8 ft. wide for end piling,'. While a considerable proportion of ordinary lumber
will be less than 16 ft. long, yet this is the standard, and aisles of 2 ft. or more must
be allowed between loads when spacing yard rails. The rail spacing for end-piling is
usually 6 ft. on centers, and for cross-piling with three rails is 11 ft. outside centers.
The height of »fyadj^nay extend to 9 ft. above the rails on cross-piling and 10 ft.
on end-piling. Higher loads become unstable and do not dry evenly in the kilns.
Kilns may be of the progPlteive (open at both ends) or single charge (usually
open one end) type as shown in Fig. 4. The former fefolves a daily opening to remove
and enter lumber, d daily moving fdiWard of every car, wTith a consequent loss of
from 5 to 10 per c$»t fef (the drying period from the opening of fcihvduring the time
required to floCft iuff|*lently to move the cars, to the time when temperature and

humidity are restored to operative conditions. The progreggive kiln, to be efficient,
requires that the charging end be maintained at a low temperature and a high humid-
ity and the discharging end at a high temperature and low humidity with graduated
intermediate conditions. Air circulation, chiefly transverse, prevents dependable
graduated conditions and the operator copes with irregular conditions.
The latter type (single charge) requires the operator to vary his entire kiln
regulation from day to day according to a predetermined schedule. The room is
small enough so that control of uniform -conditions throughout ig simple. Various
kinds and thickness of lumber can be separated in different rooms and given individ-
ual treatment. Valves and dampers can be located in an accessible outside pit. When
built in batteries with adequate transfer and yard trackage the single-charge typeSEPTEMBER, 1924

will produce as great a turnover from the investment as the progressive, and dry
the lumber better.
Hollow tile, with an exterior brick veneer, makes the best kiln walls, and a tile
and reinforced-concrete roof with insulated wooden doors will complete an economi-
cal heat-retaining building. Solid concrete is not only a poor insulator but also ab-
sorbs too much moisture and checks badly underBigh temperatures. Frame build-
ings, under the varying conditio^} of temperature and humidity, rot and rack rapidly.
The output of many kilns imperiously hampered by lack of fore-sight in providing
adea.uate loading tracks, transfer arrangements, dry storage rooms and unloading
facilities. Kilns will produce their full capacity only when there are no delays in

Paragraph No. 494	Dry Kiln Instruments
The atmospheric conditions in every lumber dry kiln are subject to three variables
—humidity, heat and air movement: Thermometers, plain or recording, indicate the
heat, humidity can only be found by a combination of wet and dry bulb thermometers,
and air movement is measured by an anemometer recording the velocity of outgoing
air thru a stack or orifice of known area.
The moisture content and shrinkage of the lumber are necessary facts to know in
advance of kiln drying to determine the suitable drying schedule, and at the com-
pletion of the kiln drying to be certain lumber i$ dry enough for use.
By general consent the term humidity always refers to the kiln atmosphere and
its degree of saturation, and the term moisture content to the amount or percentage
of water in the lumber, basing the percentage on the dry fibre or minimum weight.
A little thought will prevent confusion of terms and expensive and avoidable blunders.SEPTEMBER, 1924

Paragraph N.o. 494 Cont.
Air Movement:	An anemometer, or air velocity meter is useful in determining
the speed of incoming or outgoing air, so that the number of air changes per hour
may be determined. The number of feet the air travels per minute multiplied by the
effective total area of all the incoming or outgoing flues or stacks, gives the air
moved per minute. Multiplying by sixty minutes and dividing by total air content of
kiln room gives changes per hour.
Moisture Content of Lumber:	Determined by accurate weighing scales that give
the exact weight of a small sample of lumber
“as is”, and after rapid drying in a small, en-
closed electric heater reducing the weight to
“bone-dry” lumber. The difference is the
moisture removed
and may be express-
ed in percent (divid-
ing the moisture re-
moved by the bone
dry weight). Any
Brviceable apothe-
caries or laboratory	,
scale will give the Self-Computing Lumber Tester

direct percentage readings. If small table type electric
heaters are used for drying samples, they should be provided
with a small enclosed oven, and a low heat used to avoid
charring or burning.
Shrinkage of Lumber:	Determined similarly to mois-
ture content but width of board carefully measured with
decimal rule. Sample then dried, remeasured and percentage computed.

Frequency Changers
Louis Allis Frequency Changer Set
The supply frequency and the number of poles are the governing factors, as
regards speed, of the polyphase, squirrel cage, induction type motor. The highest
speed obtainable with any given frequency may be attained with a two pole motor.
The synchronous or no load speed of a two pole induction motor is sixty revolutions
per cycle of the supply frequency. In the case of sp«ds higher than 3,600 R. P. M.,
which may be attained by the use of a two pole, sixty cycle motor, a frequency
changer is required, unless arrangements be made for generating higher frequency
current direct.
The induction frequency changer consists mechanically of a standard slip ring
or wound rotor type induction motor with suitable stator and rotor windings to pro-
vide the proper current and voltage relations. Frequency changers are usually rated
in kilowatts at .8 power factor and may be built for operation on any standard fre-
quency from twenty five to sixty cycles. The illustration herewith shows a standard
self contained, motor driven, frequency changer set as built by the Louis Allis Com-
pany. This set embraces a KH15DV 40 K. W., 60-100 Cycle changer direct con-
nected to a KH13, 30 H. P. squirrel cage motor. The standard ratings of the
changers as built by the above company for operation on 60 cycle supply current are
as follows:—
3 to	35	K.	W.,	60- 80	cycles.
3 to	40	K.	W.,	60- 90	cycles.
3 to	40	K.	W.,	60-100	cycles.
3 to	45	K.	W.,	60-120	cycles.
The following tabulation shows the secondary frequency in relation to the speed
of a four pole frequency changer, as well as the speed of a two pole induction motor
corresponding to the different frequencies.

Paragraph No. 680	Lumber Lifts
This name has been applied to what was originally a quadruple jackscrew (four
units operated simultaneously by sprocket chains) for lowering a loaded kiln car
into a pit until the top of the load was even with the saw table, and maintaining the
top of the load at that level until the kiln trucksSyere emptied of lumber. Illustration
shows the original type, nearly empty, and the improved type from which the un-i-
loading has just commenced. The later type is now driven by electric motor through
silent chain and bevel gears.
These liftman be entered from either end or side, by either kiln car or transfer
car. The lumber lift is not only adapted for use as an unloading device at a saw, but
is equally aonvenient at a surfacer or ?ther macflne. It may also be used to lower
a kiln car during the process of loading so as to keep the top of the load at a con-
venient height for workmen, and «Iso to move loaded kiln cars from floor to floor.
Hydraulic typeSof lifts have been successfully used, but some trouble may be
encountered ill un«en wear on packing unl««the loads are most carefully centered
and balanced. A loaded kiln car is an unwieldly and awkward unit to raise or lower.
The usual countei weighted elevators alia have been used for similar service, but
the lumber lift requites neither counterweights nor safety brakes and operates at
slow speed with a minimum of power demand. The lift installation therefore usually
costs considerably lesigthan the regular type of elevator for such heavy loads as
kiln cat’s weighing from ten to twenty torn.

Combined Surfacing and Surfacing Machines
Oliver No. 170 Straitoplane
The Number One Seventy “Straitoplan® ju» announced by the Oliver Machinery
Co. and illustrated above is unique among woodworking machines as it combines the
functions of a power feed facing machine and a double surfacer. It is, so far as
known the only machine of its type on the market. It has range to 36" in width,
opens for stock 6'ljthick and will true up boards having a maximum distortion of one
half inch. At theQame oaeration in which the stock is faced on the lower side it is
dressed, on the top side, to an accurate thickness. Pieces as short as eleven inches
may be feq by butting and stock sixteen inches or over in length will feed clear of
the machine.
The main frame is a one piece, cored casting weighing approximately two tons,
with machined floor bearings 9%"x72" on both sides. Supported on this massive
frame, in machined seats, are all the other parts of the machine. The steel lipped
infeed table is a unit casting with table surface three by six feet and is mounted on a
sliding wedge, which for vertical adjustment is actuated by a ratchet lever. The
outfeed table involves a one piece frame with accurately finished, chilled, bed plates
which form a surface three by three and a half feet. This assembly is adjusted verti-
cally by a sliding wedge and hand wheel and has a total weight of about 1400 pounds.
The top housing which carries the multiple dogged conveyor chain, top feed rolls
and the top cylinder assembly, involves two heavy castings supported at each corner
by a large rectangular post which operates in gibbed, “T” slots in main frame. This
housing IS adjusted for height by hand wheel with micrometer adjustment and suitable
scale. The conveyor which feeds the stock over the lower facing cylinder comprises a
wide, mat typetflf steel chain each link of which carr® a spring tensioned, steel dog.
The multiplicity;if dogs provides for a positive feed with very light pressure so that
the stock is not distorted from in natural shape.
The top infeed roll isi- of the ^Htional, fluted type and all the other rolls are
smooth. Feed works are driven from an independent motor at ratB of 30-45-60
F. P. M. The feed drive embraces st#el roller chain and sprockets to the exclusion of
all gears. Cylinders are of forged, high carbon steel with a six inch cutting circle
and six thin, high speed steel knBigBeach. They are journaled at each end in two
special, double row. S. K. F. ball bearings. All bearingH except the cylind®~are
bronze bushed and the Alemite Pressure Feed grease lubrication is fitted thoroughout.
Controls and adjustments are in a great degree, centralized at the operating station.
This new tool is offered in both the belted and the direct motored type. In the
latter casl the motors are coupled direct to the cylinders and are rated as follows:

Front View Whitney Automatic Power Feed Shaper
The Automatic Power Feed Shaper illustrated herewith isla new machine devel-
oped by Baxter D. Whitney & Sons, Inc., and is believed to be the only tool of its type
now on the market. This machine is particularly adapted to shaping toilet and chair
seats and similiar work. Its most obvious advantages are the regular, steady feed,
the ease and safety of operation and the greatly increased output. The increase in
output over hand feeding ranges from 33 1/3 V up to 75% and the quality of the
work is improved. On many kinds of work both spindles may be kept in the cut at
the same time and the operator can mount the work on the forms while the machine is
cutting.
The essential parts of the feeding mechanism are (A) A sleeve mounted, gear
driven sprocket, revolving concentrically with the shaper spindle. (B) A perforated
steel tape which is mounted on the edge of the wooden form or pattern. (C) A roll
or rollers mounted on a weight actuated, pedal controlled slide which has an axial
motion as regards the shaper spindle. (D) A ball bearing plunger mounted on a
column projecting from the table. In operation the Sock is mounted on the form
and clamped thereto in the usual manner or it may be held to the form by spurs.
The holes in the perforated tape on the edge of the form are then presented to the
sprocket—the roller meantime being backed off by the action of the pedal. The pres-
sure roller is then released, the perforated tape meshes with the sprocket and the
form and work, held down by the ball bearing plunger is carried through the cut
without attention from the operator who is engaged in mounting the work on the
alternate form.Page 30

Veneer Dryers
Coe Model 23 Veneer Dryer
The Model Twenty Three Roll Type Veneer Dryer, built by the Coe Manufactur-
ing Co. and illustrated above is a new and irtproved machine of the same type as the
former machines of the same company. The improvements embrace specially designed
cross nozzl® extending the entire width of the machine so tlBt an equal amount of
air above and below each sheet of veneer is assured and theToomptstent provision
made for recirculating all or any part of the air thus giving absolute control of the
humidity in the machine. Other new features are'djhe sectional construction whereby
the length of the machine may be readily altered at any time and the horizontal sup-
porting membersSfor the rolls which greatly facilitate dismantling and permit the
use of cross coil radiators forming a continuous path for the steam so that air or
water pockets are eliminated. At ‘Several points the condensate is trapped off and
returned to a single coil section near the wet end where its heat is utilized. This new
machine is very thoroughly insulated on the sides with removable doors two inches in
thickness and on the top with panels three and a half inches thick. The various re-
finements of design and the effective insulation have reduced the steam consumption
by about 20% and the drying time by 15%. The steam consumption may be as low
as 2.15 pounds of steam per pound of water evaporated.
