One lor forcilily bend-ing rived lioops to make them tracta-ble in jilacing them around casks. Hoop-rivingMa-chine. {Coop-ering.\ A machine in which the barof wood to be rived is sawed out ofa proper width for the hoop refjuired,and the end checked by a gang ofcircular saws. Tlie end is then placedbetween the guiding friction wheelsand advanced to the groove of thewheel, where it is seized by the biteof the upper pressure disk, and pass-ing along is deflected upwards byanother wheel emerging from be-tween the latter wheel and the- itp-per disk in a riven condition. Hoop-sawing Ma-chine.(Coopering.) a. A niacldne in whichgaged stuff is fed to a gang of cir-cular saws and reduced to dimensionsfor making hoops. In the ex
