He patented this in 1878, there is a picture of one in the Sept 11 1879 issue of Forest & Stream in the Wm Read ad. Does anyone own one or even seen one? I'd like a photograph of the tool/machine if possible.
Thanks,
Chris

Pete,
Thanks for the photo. I'm wondering if there is more parts to this machine. The picture in Forest and Stream seems to indicate that.

Chris,

I honestly do not know. Take a good look at the patent drawings. I think you may be correct, but am not sure.

I seem to remember one appeared here many years ago. It certainly had more parts, as I recall. I did a search and do not find the thread.

Not the sort of tool you see every day.

Pete
