Knight's American mechanical dictionary : a description of tools, instruments, machines, processes and engineering, history of inventions, general technological vocabulary ; and digest of mechanical appliances in science and the arts . Pegging-Jack, the grain running the width of the strip,and fed to the parts which cut off a peg and thendrive it. In the illustration, the longjack-standard is hingedby a universal joint in the foot-lever, which isweighted at one end to hold the shoe in contact withthe pegging and feeding devices, and at the otherwith a stirrup or foot-rest to disengage the finishedshoe. The jack is capable of lateral and longitudinalmotions upon the standard, to present tlie surfaceof the sole at the point of contact with the pegging-devices in a horizontal plane. The vertical plunger,carrying an awl and a driver, is o]ierated by a cantand gearing. The rotary feed is iminediately backof the peg-gniile, and ojieratid by a pawl andratchet receiving motion from the main gearing inany suitable manner, ordinarily by a cam. The]ieg-strip is fed into the guide from a coil of prac-tically indefinite length and from which a peg is cut PEGGING-MACHINE. 1649 PEGGING-MACHINE.
