Tray.
A flat receptacle for handing glasses, dishes, and what not. Known by names indicating material or purpose, as Papier-mache. Tin. Silver. Tea. Bread. Also known as a waiter, or salver. The κιστη δειπνοφορος was the Greek dinner-tray. Fig. 6633 is a machine for making oval trays or bowls of wood. The block to be cut into trays being secured to the carriage when in a horizontal position, the lever is placed against the wheel so that one of the pins thereon will catch it as the wheel revolves. As the pin strikes the lever, the carriage is started, and guided by the ends of the guide-pin in guide-way grooves. The block is turned through an arc against the saws, after passing which the carriage is disconnected by the lever and let-off. |
