Nee′dle-point′ing ma-chine′.

This comprises a grooved grindstone, to which the wires, cut to the desired length, are applied by an inclined plane. A disk covered with rubber revolves transversely to the grindstone, turning the needles round so as to present each point of their circumference to the stone, at the same time continuously furnishing a fresh supply for its action.
