| Description: |  | This is a more refined version of 575,734 with a bobbin rather than the cylindrical monster of the former. The patent specification describes this invention applying the principle of the worm-screw claimed in patent 560,281 "to the construction of various kinds of tools—as, for instance, screw-drivers, augers, drills, and other tools which are intended to be operated by rotary movement". |  |
