Joel Havens "Vintage Machinery" entry for Quickwork Co.

Description: |
Claim:
In the use of rotary shears designed to operate on long metal sheets, it was customary heretofore for the workman at the end of the sheet to either himself watch the feeding of the sheet into the machine and to having it to the right or left as might be needled to keep the cutters true to line, or to take directions by word of mouth or by motion of the hand of an operator stationed close up to the machine. This procedure is wasteful in the matter of time and leads to inaccuracy in the work. |
