. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. J^12. Figure 9.—1832: The workbench delineated by Nicholson was little improved over Moxon's, although the planes—jack (i). trying plane (2). smoothing plane (3), sash fillister (7), and plow (8)—followed the form seen in Martin (fig. 7). The inception of this shape occurred in the shops of Sheffield toolmakers in the last half of the i8th century, and it persisted until replaced by metallic versions patented by American innovators during the last quarter of the 19th century.
