Ste′re-o-type Shav′ing-ma-chine′.
A machine for planing the backs of stereotype-plates. The plate is laid face downward on a traveling-bed, and is held by a ledge while it is drawn forward under a stationary knife, which takes off a shaving of the requisite thickness. Motion is imparted to the bed by turning the spoke-levers, which turn a pinion gearing with a rack.Stereotype saw-table. |
