| Description: |  | "This invention relates to that class of mortising machines having an automatically reversing chisel-stock; and it nature consists in the employment of such an arrangement of devices as will cause the chisel-stock to retain a fixed position upon its axis until the chisel is entirely withdrawn from the timber, when it will be reversed by the extreme downward movement of the table." |  |
