This ma-chine is in some establishments usedonly for rough work, fine pouncingbeing completed on the apparatusillustrated in Fig. 2306, and knownas the Rosekranz brim-machine. In this device two vibrating rub-bing arms are pivoted to a heavyframe, and actuated in opposite di-rections from an upright crank-shaft. Each arm has on its outer end a plate covered with sand- oremery-paper. The upper arm is attached to the treadle on the right of the machine, and can be.
