| Description: |  | This patent notes a predecessor in Schuyler's grindstone dresser of patent 28,639 but says that Schuyler's dresser-wheel construction was "difficult and expensive, and also very liable to fracture in use". The dresser-wheel of Barkley and Semple is cast in a chilled mold and is claimed to be rugged enough to not require the yielding washers of Schuyler's invention. |  |
