The correct radius ofthe joint is obtained by adjusting the tool C, while the depth ofthe cut is regulated by screwing the bushing D in or out. Thisbushing is held in place by a set screw which is not shown in theillustration. In operating the machine, the transinission housing is held sta-tionary by the operator grasping the pipe E with one hand, while. ^ P/pe Machine for Turning Ball Joints of Any Radius. with the other he turns the crank F. As the machine can feedbut one way, a ratchet is provided on this crank to prevent itsturning the gears backward. The entire body of the machine, in-cluding the tool C, is turned by the crank through the gears G, while the ratchet // feeds tlic tool one notch each revolutionthrough the worm. A crank K is provided to move the feedmechanism independently when necessary. The device is the in-vention of W. C. Dcibert, tool foreman of the Chesapeake & Ohioat Clifton Forge, Va., and is in successful use at that point. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT BY V. T.
