The rollers that travel the machinedcast surface riveted to the drum endsand on which the drum revolves are 16inches in diameter and have a 2M;-inchface. These rollers are fitted with Hyattroller bearing for reducing friction andare equipped with a felt dust guard ineach end of the hobs. This machine is self-propelling and isequipped with special driving sprocketsand heavy duty diamond chain, theclutches being so arranged as to throwout either of the rear drivers when round-ing a corner.
