No machine for planing out wagon fellies of difle-rent sizes and radius has ever been constructed to (op-erate with such success as the one illustrated by theabove engraving. Mr. Johnson has just received theexclusive right to his invention through the patentagency of Messrs. Fowler and Wells, New York. The difficulties heretofore experienced in regulatingthe radius of the curve of the felly, and at the sametime making the radius of the sweep of the jtlane tocorrespond, are very ingeniously overcome. Theplane is also adjustable to the size and depth of tbfielly to which it is desired to cut, in a very perfecmanner. A is the bed-piece, which supports the work-ing parts of the machine; B is a stationary uprightguide-pin, upon which the huh turns which holds therod, C, passing into and adjustable within the tube, D,the tube D. being made
