Knight's American mechanical dictionary : a description of tools, instruments, machines, processes and engineering, history of inventions, general technological vocabulary ; and digest of mechanical appliances in science and the arts . In front of the table on whichthe matches thus arranged lie, is a frame placed ver-tically, which is designed to receive a number oflayers of matches, one above another. This framepresents immediately before the row of matches anarrow receiving-plate or bed. By the action of asecond pedal the woi-kman causes a row of needles toadvance, which push forward the matches on to thisplate, and are retracted by a spring. The matchesare pushed beyond the eilge of the receiving-platejust so far as may suffice for dipping, and their endsare kept separate by thin partitions, which are afixed part of the machine. The frame, which has amovement up and down in guides, is then depressedsufficiently to pemiit another receiving-plate to belaid on the last row of matches, at a proper level toreceive an additional row ; and this process goes onuntil sixty lows, eacli containing one hundredmatches, have been piled uji in the frame. Theframe is then locked up by bringing down a traverse Fig. 3089. ^jjlJU*. Machine. MATCH-GKAKING. 1410 MATCH-SPLINT MACHINE. bar at the top, so as to compress tlie whole mass andsecure it in place.
