The device consists of a box for holding the greasewhich is closed at one end by a plunger operated by a 16 in. by12 in. air cylinder and at the other by the form through whichthe grease is pressed. A form cover which may be slipped overthe end of the form is provided to facilitate compressing in tlie b .x into a compact cake before it is pressed throughthe form. When the cover is removed and air admitted to the cylinder,grease is forced out through the form onto a table where it may becut into suitable lengths by means of the knife held betweenguides shown in the illustration.

When airis admitted to the low-er end of this cylinder the grease is shearedat the end of the box, and the form raised high enough so that itmay be readily removed. A spring above the piston insures itsreturn to the lower end of the cylinder when the pressure is re-moved.
