Description:

Equivalent to Canada patent CA-4,530. The patented machine is a rotary-bed planer. The patent covers the design of the bed-slats and the driving-wheels for the bed.

The 1897 Cowan & Co. catalog has a "12 in. patent revolving bed moulder" bearing this patent date. Although Cowan Co. was a rival to Cant, Gourlay & Co., this patent is the only remotely likely candidate matching the patent date (there were several Canadian patent issued on the same date but no other patent from that date is applicable to a moulder).
