  ion, 
  and 
  the 
  internal 
  gear 
  are 
  all 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  plane, 
  and 
  the 
  pinion 
  may 
  

   be 
  pivoted 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  haudie-plate 
  which 
  covers 
  the 
  gear- 
  

   ing. 
  With 
  the 
  spool 
  is 
  combined 
  a 
  stop 
  which 
  serves 
  as 
  a 
  friction 
  

   brake 
  or 
  drag 
  when 
  required. 
  

  

  The 
  inventor 
  says 
  : 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  am 
  aware 
  that 
  a 
  reel 
  has 
  been 
  heretofore 
  made 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  rotary 
  

   motion 
  is 
  imparted 
  to 
  the 
  spool 
  by 
  an 
  outer 
  rotary 
  internal 
  gear, 
  to 
  

   which 
  the 
  handle 
  is 
  attached, 
  and 
  an 
  intermediate 
  wheel 
  mounted 
  on 
  a 
  

   fixed 
  pivot 
  and 
  engaging 
  both 
  with 
  said 
  internal 
  gear 
  and 
  the 
  wheel 
  

   upon 
  the 
  spool 
  shaft 
  or 
  arbor. 
  This 
  reel 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  claim 
  as 
  of 
  my 
  in- 
  

   vention, 
  and 
  my 
  reel 
  differs 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  that 
  my 
  internal 
  gear 
  is 
  fixed 
  in- 
  

   stead 
  of 
  rotary, 
  and 
  my 
  intermediate 
  wheel, 
  instead 
  of 
  being 
  mounted 
  

   on 
  a 
  fixed 
  pivot, 
  is 
  mounted 
  on 
  a 
  movable 
  pivot, 
  so 
  that 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  re- 
  

   volved 
  around 
  the 
  wheel 
  on 
  the 
  spool 
  arbor 
  or 
  shaft, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  rotate 
  on 
  its 
  pivot. 
  The 
  advantages 
  resulting 
  from 
  this 
  difference 
  

   in 
  construction 
  are 
  various. 
  In 
  the 
  old 
  reel 
  the 
  multiplied 
  rotations 
  of 
  

   the 
  spool 
  are 
  all 
  transmitted 
  through 
  the 
  rotation 
  of 
  the 
  wheels 
  on 
  their 
  

   axes, 
  and 
  hence 
  the 
  friction 
  of 
  the 
  gear-teeth 
  is 
  greater 
  than 
  in 
  mine, 
  

   where 
  one 
  rotation 
  of 
  the 
  spool 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  revolving 
  motiou 
  of 
  the 
  

   intermediate 
  wheel 
  around 
  the 
  wheel 
  on 
  the 
  spool 
  shaft 
  or 
  arbor. 
  It 
  is 
  

   necessary 
  in 
  a 
  multiple 
  reel 
  that 
  the 
  handle 
  should 
  always 
  be 
  made 
  to 
  

   turn 
  toward 
  the 
  right, 
  or 
  'in 
  the 
  right 
  direction,' 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  termed, 
  and 
  

   no 
  fisherman 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  use 
  a 
  reel 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  handle 
  was 
  intended 
  

   to 
  be 
  turned 
  toward 
  the 
  left. 
  In 
  my 
  reel, 
  when 
  the 
  handle 
  is 
  turned 
  to 
  

   the 
  right 
  the 
  spool 
  will 
  be 
  turned 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  direction 
  ; 
  but 
  if 
  the 
  

   handle 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  reel 
  be 
  turned 
  to 
  the 
  right 
  the 
  spool 
  will 
  be 
  turned 
  to 
  

   the 
  left, 
  or 
  in 
  a 
  reverse 
  direction, 
  and 
  the 
  line, 
  instead 
  of 
  being 
  carried 
  

   to 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  spool, 
  as 
  in 
  my 
  reel, 
  must 
  be 
  carried 
  to 
  the 
  

   upper 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  spool 
  and 
  several 
  inches 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  rod. 
  The 
  

   carrying 
  of 
  the 
  line 
  to 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  spool 
  and 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  

   rod 
  is 
  a 
  serious 
  disadvantage, 
  as 
  the 
  hand 
  must 
  hold 
  the 
  rod 
  in 
  advance 
  

   of 
  the 
  reel, 
  and 
  the 
  line 
  would 
  make 
  a 
  considerable 
  angle 
  at 
  the 
  hand 
  

   or 
  through 
  an 
  eye 
  on 
  the 
  rod, 
  and 
  would 
  be 
  apt 
  to 
  cut 
  the 
  hand, 
  or 
  else 
  

   rapidly 
  wear 
  itself 
  out 
  in 
  the 
  eye. 
  With 
  my 
  reel 
  the 
  line 
  follows 
  the 
  

   rod 
  clear 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  reel 
  and 
  winds 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  spool, 
  and 
  

   any 
  experienced 
  fisherman 
  will 
  at 
  once 
  appreciate 
  the 
  desirability 
  of 
  a 
  

   construction 
  which 
  will 
  admit 
  of 
  this."
