. Appleton's dictionary of machines, mechanics, engine-work, and engineering. to the length of the shaft B, and consequentlycarrying forward the upper or forked end of said lever, which, holding on to the stud 9c of the feeder bythe fork in its end, carries forward the feeder, holding the wire in the manner above described. In the regular operation of the machine, where the wire is carried forward by the feeder, the end ofthe wire enters one of the pointing chucks hereinafter described, which is in readiness to receive it; andin order to insure the entrance thereof a guide is placed near the extremity of said chuck: said guide isin the form of a hollow cone, having its apex directed towards the chuck, and its base towards thefeeder. There must be a perforation at the apex of the cone to allow the wire to pass through in astraight line from the feeder to the chuck; and there must also be an opening made in its side to allowthe chuck to carry the pin, or wire, out laterally: said guide may be attached to the cutter-stand or anyconvenient part of the fixed Before the concentric face «3, before described, of the cam d, leaves the stud \\d, the rib d\ of saidcam will leave the plate 116, so as to allow the spring 14 to retract the forked end of the lever 11 fromthe cap 10; and afterwards said high concentric part of the cam a passing away from the stud 1 Id, willleave the feeder free to be carried back by the action of the spring 14, till it is stopped by comingagainst the gage-screw 15. The apparatus for cutting off the wire, and also tor holding it after it hasbeen introduced by the feeder, while the feeder is going back and renewing its grasp on the wive, inorder to introduce another succeeding portion of wire, is supported by and consists in pari of an ad-justable frame-piece or stand, which is fastened bv a screw on the top of the portion At of the fixedframe, close behind the frame S of the feeding apparatus, as represented in Fig. S063.
