A nail cut from a nail-plate, in contradistinction to one forged from a nail-rod, as a clasp, horse-shoe, or flat-head nail. Mr. Odion, of Massachusetts, invented a machine for making cut-nails in 1816. Mr. Reed, of the same State, followed with another machine for the same purpose. Walter Hunt's double-reciprocating nail-machine was introduced in 1841. See nail. Corliss cut-off. Cut-off. The term is applied to that mode of using steam or o

the nail; and in December of the same year he patented a process for drawing bars or plates to a varying thickness and cutting the nails therefrom by a punch. Machines of this kind were in operation at French's factory, Wineburne, Staffordshire, England, in 1792. Cut-nails were first made in this country. About 1775, Jeremiah Wilkinson of Cumberland, R. I., cut tacks from plates of sheet-metal, and afterward made nails and spikes in a similar manner, forming the heads in a vise. Ezekiel Reed of Bridgewater, Mass., in 1786, invented a machine for cutting nails from the plate, and in 1798 obtained a patent for cutting and heading them at one operation. Benjamin Cochran had also constructed a machine of this kind; and Josiah Person of New York, in 1794, patented a machine for cutting nails from the sheet. Perkins's machine, invented 1790 and patented in 1795, is said to have been capable of making 200,000 nails per day. These, and Odiorne's, which embraced some improvemen
