This diagram shows the remarkable savingof power on the return stroke due to the action of the regenera-tive apparatus. The peak of the first diagram has becomea pit. Diagram, Fig. 5, was taken from a machine driven by areversible motor on the regenerative system. The power regen-eration at the end of each cycle is strikingly shown. Thismachine was working on a long stroke, 18 ft.; the mechanicalregenerative machine on a shorter stroke, about 8 ft., allowingfor the difference in length of stroke and ratio of cutting toreturn speeds, and the similarity of diagrams is apparent. Theseregenerative planing machines, whether mechanical or electrical,represent the best modern practice m the line of driving arrange-ments. To realize wliat can be done by the combination of a quickmoving table and an effective
