Description: |
| A full-page ad in the 1859 New York City Directory features an illustration of this machine. "C. H. Guard, Troy, N. Y., who is exclusively engined in manufacturing these machines... From the Scientific American, April 17, 1858. 'We have seen the hubs bored and morticed, the spokes driven in and tenoned and the felloes bored of three sets of wheels, of six large wheels and six small ones, in between six and seven hours, by one man on these machines. We believe that it is one of the must useful machines for carriage builders and wheelwrights ever yet produced.'" |
