Description:
"The nature of my invention consists in planing boards with reciprocating knives, having uniform and continuous feed motion, the planes cutting on their backward, as well as forward stroke; possessing at the same time, a partial reciprocating rotary motion, about an axis perpendicular to the surface planed."

The Journal of the Franklin Institute's writeup of this patent gives the assignee's name as William J. Shurman, of Washington, Kentucky. We are not certain but a web search suggests that "William L. Thurman" is more likely to be correct. Our inventor, Richard H. Pindell, lawyer, received a widely publicized letter from Henry Clay that laid out Clay's hopes for ending slavery in Kentucky. The letter was really intended for the members of the Senate and sheds no particular light on Mr. Pindell.
