The machine as shown is of the most modern design,being Iwth ix)werful and compact, having all leverswithin easy reach of operating ]X)sition. The new startand stop lever is now arranged in a very convenientlocation and permits the operator to start or stop machinewhile remaining close to the work l>eing done. All machines are equipjx^d with a single pulley driveand selective type gear boxes, which have all heat treatedsteel gears that run in heavy oil. By means of the. NEW Jin cr: sible. This feature itself makes this shaper very adaptableto manufacturing purposes wdiere a variety of work isdone.
