Our illustration shows a very ingeniouslittle device wliicli can be most convenient-ly carried in tlic pocket. It is made ofcelluloid and can easily be kept clean,even though used in the busiest shop inthe land. On the side of the disc shovifingthe trade mark of the Cleveland Twist. EQUIVALENTS. Drill Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, it isarranged so that the decimal equivalentsof the inch, from one sixty-fourth up, canbe found by an almost instantaneous ad-justment of the little revolving disc. Thisis a most useful and valuable feature andis the quickest thing we have seen any-where for the purpose. The other side,the obverse, as medal experts would say,is arranged so that the slide disc when setopposite the size of any drill will at oncegive the number of revolutions per minuteat which the drill can be revolved. Thereare two sets of figures, one for high-speedsteel and one for carbon steel. The ad-justment is as rapid as it can be, and theanswer is definite and sure. If you wantone of these feed and speed computerswrite to the Twist Drill Co. and you willget a good thing and a handy thing. Infact, to use the words of the proverbialtraveling showman, the ease with whichyou can get the decimal equivalent of aninch by this computer is alone worththe price of
