The bar, whichpasses through a slot in the piston rod, limits its stroke andforces two pins upward, as the cutter drops back to the positionshown in the illustration, pressing the gasket out. Where cut-ters of this type are struck with a hammer or sledge in cuttinggaskets they are easily broken on account of the unequal pres-sure on the cutting edges. With this press there has thus farbeen no breakage and the life of the cutter seems to be Grease for Driving «.-The device used for
