A RAPID SKETCHING DEVICE. Since prehistoric times there has been almost no improve-ment in the instruments used by mechanical draughtsmen;Herewith is illustrated a real improvement which appears tobe admirably adapted to aid the draughtsman and assist in themechanical part of his labors. This device is exceedingly ingenious and very convenient,making it possible to produce a sketch or small drawing asaccurately as may be desired, using simply a triangular The Rapid Sketching Device Applied to a Drawing Board. Chappeis Gang Tool. CHAPPELS OBLIQUE GANG TOOL. This tool is used in shapers and planers, and gives in eachstroke of the machine a series of independent and simul-taneously successive cuts of the full depth required, the resultbeing that a wide surface maybe planed at each stroke of themachine. It is, in fact, much wider than would be possiblewith a single cutter with equivalent cutting edge. In the en-graving the arrangement of the tool is clearly indicated. Eachcutter-bar has an individual orifice and individual set-screwsto hold it in position. The series of cutters has an obliquearrangement with relation to the line of motion, each cutbeing slightly in advance of the next succeeding one, eachstroke being equal to four of a single-pointed tool. It is intended for roughing cuts on cast iron and brass, andwill not work satisfactorily on wrought iron or steel. It is with which, by aid of
