| Description: |  | "This invention relates to improvements in machines for crozing, chamfering, and leveling or trimming off the ends of the staves of a barrel; and it consists in a hollow shaft, carrying a radially-grooved disk, wherein one or more sliding-tool stocks arranged to slide radially are mounted, and another shaft working in the hollow one, and having a crank or eccentric connection with the stocks, and geared with the wheel which drives the hollow shaft, by a wheel having one tooth more or less than the wheel on the hollow shaft, so as to have a different movement or rate of speed than the disk for moving the tools out and back to the work after entering the barrel into which they are moved by a sliding table on which the shafts supporting them are mounted..." |  |
