. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. IMPROVED MODEL, FANZ MICROTOME KNIFE SHARPENER With electric motor drive and with automatic knife lifting and reversing device. 7203. Showing hood removed [from knife mechanism. MICROTOME KNIFE SHARPENER, Fanz Improved, Model 53. With simplified, enclosed motor drive and with Miller automatic knife lift- ing and reversing1! device. Takes knives up to 325 mm in length and up to 13 mm thick. Provides more nearly perfect cutting edge than skillful hand honing and stropping. A revolving glass disc, 21 inches diameter, is driven against the knife which is automatically swept to and fro in an arc through the center of the disc surface. In each operation, the automatic device sweeps the knife across the glass disc for approximately 27 seconds, during which period it makes reciprocating cycles, and is then lifted, turned over and lowered to the disc in approxi- mately 8 seconds, after which the process is re- peated on the opposite side. A scale on the knife mechanism makes possible precise, reproducible setting of the angle of the bevel. Metal housing is 25 inches square x 11 inches high and is finished in attractive baked gray Hammertone enamel. Sim- plified operating and sharpening directions are printed in white lettering on both sides of hinged front door panel. An early model of this Sharpener has been in con- stant use for the past 22 years. During this period approximately 16,000 knives sent to us for recon- ditioning have been sharpened on this machine with- out repairs excepting occasional replacement of a worn belt. 7203.
