Soap Bar′ring and Cak′ing ma-chine′.

The machine (Fig. 5264) has two followers operated by rack and pinion motion and traversing on frames at right angles to each other; a slab of soap is placed on the rollers a and carried by the follower b against a series of vertical wires d, which divide it into bars; by a farther movement of the crank, these are deposited upon the second frame e, where the follower [2233] f operates to press them sideways against the vertical wires g, dividing the bars into cakes.

Soap-boiler.
