Bench-clamp. A jaw-tool attached to a workbench for holding an article to be operated on in place.

This, in a somewhat clumsy form, has been known for centuries under the name of the Chinese windlass, and one was found by the allied English and French armies to be in use for raising one of the drawbridges in the city of Pekin. It was described by Dr. Carpenter in his Mechanical philosophy, etc., 1844. The chain winds over two drums of different diameters, winding on to one as it unwinds from the other; the effect gained is as the difference between the two, the smaller the difference the greater the power and the less the speed.

The lead is said to be purer than that obtained by the smelting-furnace, as the heat is lower, and the silver and lead are sweated out without reducing the other metals.

Viewed with a suitably high power these bands are seen simply as groups of fine black lines, the distances of which from center to center can readily be measured by a micrometer.
