| Description: |  | This is an improvement on patent # 31,459.The nature of my improvements relates, first, to providing a journal or journals for the support of the cutter-frame, which journal or journals are so connected to the cutter-frame as to support the cutter-frame and allow it to oscillate thereon; second, in so connecting the cutter-frame to the stationary or gear frame of the machine as to admit of a weight or equivalent to counterbalance the cutter frame; third, in projecting bars or rods from the stationary frame as a means of support and as a connection of the cutter-frame to the stationary frame, which bars are so constructed and connected to both frames as to admit of a compound joint-like movement. |  |
