| Description: |  | The patent describes a mechanism that combines reciprocating motion, periodic progressive motion, and periodic "lifting" motion for a valve grinder. The "holder" for the valve incorporates a magnet or electromagnet. 
Reissued. The patent was the subject of a lawsuit (Specialty Machine Company vs. Ashcroft Manufacturing Company ) in which one of the issues was the ability of a patent applicant to "revise" claims during the process of applying for a reissue. For the Ashscroft grinder, see pat. no. 963,986. 
This patent date appears in advertising for the "Sioux" valve grinders made by Albertson & Co. of Sioux City, Iowa. (see Hazeltine's parallel patent no. 918,050 and patent no. 1,282,018). |  |
