the next half-turn, and so on until all the jaws have performed their office, when springs under the jaws force them simultaneously apart as the cams rotate past their centers. It will be seen, by reference to Fig. 449, that the faces of the jaws are dies, exactly corresponding to the twist of the auger. Auger-twisting dies and blank. Auger, square-hole. An auger to cut square holes was described in the Journal of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, 1826, as the invention of Mr. A. Branch, of New York. It consisted of a twisted auger operating in a square socket which had a sharp lower edge, and which cut away the margin of the square hole as the auger itself bored a round hole in advance. Hancock's square-hole auger. Hancock's Square-hole Borer (English) was in operation about the same time in London, and operated in a substantially similar manner. a is a strong frame, fastened by screws b to the bench c; d is an octagonal socket tapped to receive the vertical s

A lock patented by Bramah, in England (1784 and 1798), having a number of slides which are adjusted in the manner of tumblers, by means of a stepped key, so that the slides of unequal length shall be brought into a position where their notches lie in the same plane, that of the lockingplate.

ate p, with which the bristles are in contact. The plate is in communication with the main battery c. The bristles are insulated from each other, and are placed as near together as possible. From the platinum point with which each transmitter comes in contact in making the circuit, wires q q lead to the line wire r. At the other end of the line is a series of receiving-instruments s s corresponding in number to and having armatures vibrating in consonance with those of the transmitters. Branch wires connect the receivers with the main line wire r. In connection with each receiver is a local circuit comprising an electro-magnet t and a vibratory lever u, one arm of which constitutes the armature of the magnet, and the other arm terminates in a stylus which normally rests upon an inkribbon v over the bed of the receiving-table w. The stylus-armed ends of the levers converge, so as to be in the same relative position, and about as near together as the metallic bristles at the transmi
