| Description: |  | The patent specification says, "I am aware that the stocks of boring tools, as in McDowell's Archimedean boring tool, and others, have been operated so as to turn in a continuous rotary motion....." Washburn goes on to mention a few examples making it obvious that a certain amount of  inspiration had been applied to this form of tool previous to 1859. |  |
