Fig. 1 shows the 24-iuch or dropping the rod shown on the side of the pumpplunger. The oOinch gear cutter is shown in Fig. 4. Thismachine, which is entirely automatic, is arrangedfor cutting spur gear only. One belt is used todrive the entire machine, changes of speed beingobtained by changing one gear, no cone pulleysand no belt tightener being used. The cutter isplaced in the center of the cutter carriage and thefeed screw in the center and so located as to taketh thrust in a direct line, thus giving the minimumof wear on the slde bearings. The spindle is so.

The latheswings 24 inches over the ways and 17 inches overthe carriage. Trie cone pulley has four steps rang-ing from 7 inches to * inches diameter for Si-inch belt, and is perfectly balanced. An interiorsleeve gives it a continuous bearing its whole lengthan 1 thus prevents it from wearing loose on thespindle. Fig. 2 shows the 36inch car wheel borer havinguniversal chuck arranged in the table and pro-vided with crane. This michine is of the samegeneral design as the companys standard 42-inchcar wheel hirer used in so many railroad car wheel borer may he used for boring gearwheels.
