Description: |
| This invention relates to a pattern-maker's lathe for creating large patterns. "The usual method of manufacturing a pattern of large size, such, for example, as eight feet in outside diameter with a thickness of twelve inches or more, is to construct the same in courses of segments, with the segments of the successive courses overlapped in a manner similar to those of bricks in a wall." The primary innovation is a faceplate that tips to a horizontal position to make it easier to assemble the segments. |
