Description: |
| "It is the object of my invention to provide means whereby the tables may be separated while maintained in their respectively adjusted horizontal planes with relation to the horizontal plane of the axis of the cutter-head for providing a wide gap at the cutter-head to permit attention to the cutter-head and the knives thereon, for instance for the purpose of changing the knives, or fastening or sharpening the knives, the means being so constructed that assurance may be had that the tables be brought back definitely to original position after such attention has been given the knives, rather, to provide means whereby this initial position may be regulated for forming a wider or narrower normal gap between the tables at the cutter-head, further, to provide means whereby the respective tables may be adjusted to height at the various normal location in which that tables may be set as aforesaid; and further, to provide novel means whereby the front table may be set at an angle crosswise..."An example is reported carrying only the "M. B. Tidey" name. Presumably Tidey was reselling a Fay & Egan machine. |
