A gage-screw 15 is fitted into the exterior end of the portion 8a of the feeder-frame, against the poiniof which the slide of the feeder stops, when it is carried back in the manner above described by thesprint 14. By turning the aforesaid gage-screw 15 out or in, the length of the portion of wire intro-duced at each operation of the feeder may be graduated according to the proposed length of the pia. When in the rotation of the cam a its rib al comes against the plate 116 of the lever 11, it crowds thelower end of said lever back in the direction of the length of the shaft B, so as to press its upper orforked end against the cap 10, pressing said cap against the wire, so that the wire is embraced andfirmly held between said cap 10 and the face of the slide 9, and while the wire continues to be held the PIN-MAKING MACHINE. 491 rising face on the periphery of the cam a comes against the stud 1 Id of the lever 11, crowding the low erend of said lever back in a direction at right angles to the length of the shaft B, and consequentlycarrying forward the upper or forked end of said lever, which, holding on to the stud 9c of the feeder bythe fork in its end, carries forward the feeder, holding the wire in the manner above described.
