Each carwill have two motors of 35 hp each. Motor Driven Profiler. The machine illustrated herewith was built for finishing the beveledges of irregular-shaped retort doors, and shows how readily theelectric drive can be adapted to this class of tool. The spindle isdriven by spiral gear and pinion from a spliced shaft and the wideface of the spindle gear permits the up and down adjustment. The cross slide is moved by vertical rack pinion shaft containedin the right-hand upright and connected with a pilot wheel at theside of the bed. The large table is also moved by pilot wheel, the two.

The movements of the machine areby hand as is necessary in following the outline of the model. The spindle runs in bronze cap boxes and the slide is balanced andfitted with micrometer lock notch stop and screw gauge stop. Thetable feeds 46 in., clear height 6 to 13 in., clear width 25 in.
