Description:

Francis T. Chambers - patent attorney

"My invention relates to belt-shifting devices listed on the class of planing-machines in which the carriage traveling over the bed of the machine is used to hold the tool and carry it over the face of a stationary work-bed; and the object of my invention is to provide improved means for enabling the operative to start, stop, and reverse the machine at will and from the position which he should occupy in watching the work."
