Fig. 1 — Morton Double Chuck Driving Box Attachment taken on the return stroke of the ram, deep cuts can betaken with coarse feeds and smooth, accurate work is the Morton dnuv-cut shaper was so highly specializedthat it could be used only in machining driving boxes, itsinstallation would be warranted only in those railroad shopshaving enough driving box work to keep the machine busyeight hours a day. The shaper can, however, be used ongeneral machine work and special attachments have beendesigned for machining driving boxes all over and for finish-ing crown brasses, shoes and wedges, and main rod addition of these attachments greatly increases the rangeof work for which the shaper is adapted and it can now beinstalled with profit in much smaller shops and roundhousesthan heretofore. The flexibility of the machine and the easeof changing from one attachment to another make it a general utility tool which can be kept busy a large proportionof the time. Double Dr
