Description: |
| The March 1882 issue of Manufacturer & Builder gives a brief writeup of this invention: "Figs. 5 and 6 represent certain improvements in cutters and plates for planing and molding machines, invented by Thomas Fitzsimmons, of Burlington, Vt. The objects sought to be attained by the inventor, are first, to provide a device by which the cutter may be readily attached to the cylinder without a possibility of displacement in the act of setting the same; second, to so arrange its attachment to the cylinder that it cannot yield to any obstruction which may arise in its operations; and, third, to afford facilities for keeping the cutter in line and clearing the groove at the side of the head, thereby leaving the bead always of a uniform size, and avoiding any liability of heating the cutters, and thus drawing their temper." The writeup continues in more detail. |
