These laun-ders are pro-videdwithsliding trays, which allow the cutting out and separate discharge of such portions of the products as it may be desired to keep separate. The proper inclination of the table will be found very quickly, and once it has been adjusted, which can be done during the running, it remains unvaried unless the class of ore THE BUSS TABLE. ;6i The other points to be attended to are the stroke and the stroke is adjusted by means of the eccentric, which is speciallyarranged for that purpose; whilst the throw is regulated by shorteningor lengthening the eccentric rod by means of a hand-wheel. The stroke, together with the throw or upward lift of the mineralon the table, and the speed, are the points which principally controlthe efficiency of the machine and also its capacity. The stroke being its horizontal movement, is regulated by theeccentric, and the throw its upward movement, is controlled by themore or less upward position of the springs, it is evident that by a
