A machine in which a me-tallic object dogged to a tiaversing-table is movedagainst a relatively fixed cutter. In practice, the extended, became an odious monopoly, and did much to di:credit the patent system. It claimedthe combination of cut-ting-cylinders and fwiing-rolls. Cutting-cylinders were usedby Be itham thirty-five yeirs before, and rollers for feedinglumber to circuiar saws were described in Hammonds EngUshpatent, 1811. ilichardss roller-feeding planing-machine (.B, Fig. 3795) is asmall machine of the cylinder class, adapted for preparing lum ber for pattern-makers and others. As shown, it is construfted ^^^^^^^ l^j aajustetl in a stock, and IS usually fed to plane from ^ to 5 inches thick and 20 inches wide; has awrtught-irou cutting-cy Under, wrought-iron feeding-rollers, andcylinJer-bearings of planing-machine (Fig. 3797) may be taken as an exam-. 109 oU-tianm^ Mavn automatically between stiokes. The earliest machine for planing metal was invented Moxon, and described and illustrated at pngps 208and 215 in Kxcrci?e.«, or the Doctrine of llimdvWorks, published in London, 1*^94. The metal-planing ma-chine was snb^equent to the litthe, and would appear by thisinvention to have grown out of it. The machine wa-« empio- el for planing bra.^s moldings, andconsisted of a revolving cutter and an guide or table,alorgwliirhhebarorbrassto 1 c plared was drawn bythoopemtor Themar-i-ieappears to have been entire-ly for the ;;einterdcd.
