ditions wbere the old style glue heaters arc 

 used. When a concern learns these conditions 

 and realizes what the Instantaneous Glue Con- 

 verter can do there are few who will not make 

 the change, considering that the cost of the 

 apparatus is really very reasonable. The com- 

 pany will be glad to send to anyone interested 

 in its line literature and further details in re- 

 gard to its apparatus. 



The Driver Sander 



This is a combination horizontal and per- 

 pendicular belt sandpapering macliine. The belt 

 is reciprocated as it runs around. The views 

 show a combination machine in a horizontal as 

 well as in a perpendicular position. The refer- 

 ences in combination witli the horizontal view- 

 show the several necessary points of advantage 

 embodied in this sander and show how conven- 

 iently the whole arrangement has been designed 

 for sandpapering a large variety of work. To 

 change from either position to the other is done 

 by turning the crank seen in front. This crank 

 turns a worm engaging a gear on the main frame 

 and thereby locks the running part of this sander 

 perfectly rigid at any desired point from below 

 a horizontal line to beyond the perpendicular. 



Sandpapering can be done over the rolls at 

 either end. The approaching table can be swung 

 around in front of the roll for a rest so work 

 can be placed on it and fed on the sandpaper 

 as it travels over the plate between the rolls. 

 Tables of different sweeps can be put on in 

 place of the flat table shown between the rolls. 

 Provision is made to remove the flat table and 

 places are provided for fastening built-up forms 

 to fit the inside of curved Work, such as chair 

 backs, serpentine or swell drawer fronts, and 

 anything in that shape to run the sandpaper 

 belt over. Over these diCCerent forms the inside 

 of curves can be sandpapered. 



The perpendicular view shows the sander 

 with the swinging table in front of the plate 

 ever which the sandpaper belt travels. This 

 table is universal in every way. and can be set 

 at any angle with the plate and is also provided 

 with a protractor. With these combinations, 

 work of different angles is finished handily 

 and accurately. This view also shows the recip- 

 rocating mechanism which is driven by a round 

 belt. The sander is built very rigid on a 

 heavy base. The main frame is suspended 

 from a heavy pillar block in which a large

SANDER 



The I'ollers are 10 inches in diameter by 

 14 Vi inches long and made of solid cork. The 

 sandpaper belt is 14 inches wide by 90 inches 

 long and its table is liVh by 24 inches. The 

 sandpaper belt adjustment is similar to that 

 used on a band saw for making the blade run 

 in its proper place and for giving it the right 

 tension and is right at the hand of the operator ; 

 the adjusting screw for making the belt ran in 

 its proper place sets a governor that antomatic- 

 ally keeps the belt from running off. This elimi- 

 nates the trouble of belts being broken and 

 sandpaper being wasted. 



Before starting the sander the crank that 

 works the raising and lowering device can be 

 put on the shaft of the driving roll and machine 

 put in motion to see that the sandpaper belt 

 is properly adjusted. 



The machine embodies two complete Sanders 

 and has a capacity for doing a great variety of 

 excellent work. The reciprocating motion of the 

 belt makes the sandpaper cut fast, does away 

 with scratches and the sandpaper lasts longer. 

 Work done on this machine is claimed to out- 

 rival in quality what an expert can do by band. 

 An attractive card descriptive of this sander 

 has been issued, which the manufacturer, C. H. 

 Driver, 1322 IGth St., Racine, Wis., will be 

 pleased to mail to any one on request.
