        Description: |  
|    "This invention consists in forming an auger with two or more cutting-lips, commencing from the first or usual cutting-lip, and passing around the last turn or twist of the helical part of the auger, and each successive lip being at a greater distance from the axial centre of the auger than the preceding, and in a different horizontal plane, whereby the paths of the several lips are different and distinct, and the auger may be operated more easily." |
