DOUBLE-CYLINDER PLANER AND 

 SMOOTHER. 



Our readers will be interested in the 

 machine we are pleased to show. The 

 makers declare without hesitation that it 

 is the best double-cylinder smoothing 

 planer ever designed and built for general 

 surfacing, and the fact that it is meeting 

 with unqualified succe.ss wherever in use, 

 seems to well bear out their claim. It 

 is designed for general work, and good for

NASHVILLE NEWS. 



(Special Correspondence. ) 



Nashville, Tenn., August 0. 

 The general outlook in liardwootls is ex- 

 t-i'llent and present prices well sustiiined, 

 with a gdod export demand and a domes^tic 

 trade that is perhaps better in the western 

 states than in the east, from which latter 

 section calls have been uncertain the year 

 round. Chestnut on the local market is 

 almost absent, notwithstanding that Nash- 

 ville is one of the leading iKjints in the 

 manufacture of this wood. Ash is s'elling 

 all right, and notably in large orders. The 

 concerns that handle this wood have or-

tories. It was patented December 10. 1SI(9, 

 February 0, and May S, 1900, and special 

 attention is invited to the following fea- 

 tures: 



1. It is made to plane 26 to 42 inches 

 wide and to inches thick. The table is 

 raised and lowered on ball bearings, and 

 controlled by handwheel convenient to op- 

 erator, and is quickly adjustaljle for dif- 

 ferent thicknesses. 



-2. The feed is six powerfully driven 

 rolls, four of which are placed before the 

 cutting cylinders, and the other two after 

 them, so that each piece of material is 

 fed clear of the cutters. The patent upper 

 feeding-in rolls are center-geared, with 

 gear driven downward, all upper rolls 

 have sectional weights for nicely regulat- 

 ing the pressure. The upper feeding-out 

 roll raises parallel for ditferences in thick- 

 ness. 



3. The variable feed changes from slow 

 to fast, or vice-versa, while machine is 

 running, is always under control of opera- 

 tor, and can be furnished with any feed 

 desired. It is reliable, simple in construc- 

 tion, and efficient in operation. 



4. Lower cylinder and receiving plate 

 after same draw out for sharpening knives,

 to be readily filled, but at the old prices.
