  dace 
  a 
  multiplying 
  reel 
  so 
  constructed 
  as 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  benefit 
  of 
  the 
  

   entire 
  leverage 
  from 
  the 
  center 
  to 
  the 
  periphery 
  of 
  the 
  reel 
  and 
  bring 
  

   the 
  strain 
  on 
  the 
  longitudinal 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  reel. 
  

  

  ■ 
  In 
  operation, 
  the 
  crank-handle, 
  being 
  revolved, 
  revolves 
  the 
  shaft 
  o, 
  

   which 
  operates 
  the 
  gear/. 
  This 
  engages 
  the 
  gear 
  gj 
  which 
  is 
  one-half 
  

   the 
  size 
  of 
  gear/, 
  and, 
  being 
  permanently 
  attached, 
  gear 
  g 
  revolves 
  the 
  

   gear 
  ft, 
  which 
  is 
  in 
  turn 
  twice 
  the 
  diameter 
  of 
  gear 
  g, 
  or 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  

   gear/. 
  Gear-wheel 
  ft 
  engages 
  gear-wheel 
  i, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  as 
  

   gear-wheel 
  g, 
  and 
  is 
  attached 
  to 
  and 
  drives 
  the 
  hollow 
  spool-shaft 
  K. 
  

   The 
  degree 
  of 
  multiplication 
  will 
  of 
  course 
  be 
  determined 
  by 
  the 
  relative 
  

   sizes 
  of 
  the 
  gears.

  A 
  metal 
  plate, 
  curved 
  in 
  cross-section 
  to 
  correspond 
  substantially 
  to 
  

   the 
  curved 
  outer 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  rod, 
  is 
  secured 
  thereto. 
  The 
  edges 
  of 
  a 
  

   portion 
  of 
  this 
  plate 
  are 
  turned 
  up, 
  forming 
  ways 
  or 
  channels. 
  At 
  one 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  plate 
  the 
  edges 
  are 
  closed 
  down 
  forming 
  stops, 
  and 
  a 
  portion 
  

   adjacent 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  is 
  cut 
  away, 
  in 
  order 
  that 
  at 
  the 
  extreme 
  end 
  the 
  

   edges 
  may 
  be 
  bent 
  down 
  into 
  contact 
  with 
  the 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  plate 
  without 
  

   carrying 
  with 
  them 
  the 
  adjacent 
  portions. 
  A 
  locking-stud 
  is 
  thrust 
  up- 
  

   ward 
  through 
  an 
  opening 
  in 
  the 
  plate 
  by 
  a 
  spiral 
  spring 
  within 
  a 
  cylin- 
  

   drical 
  case 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  plate, 
  a 
  hole 
  being 
  bored 
  

   in 
  the 
  rod 
  to 
  receive 
  the 
  case. 
  The 
  reel 
  is 
  mounted 
  on 
  a 
  curved 
  plate, 
  

   the 
  sides 
  of 
  which 
  slide 
  in 
  the 
  ways 
  of 
  the 
  plate 
  on 
  the 
  rod, 
  and 
  which 
  

   abuts 
  against 
  the 
  stops, 
  and 
  is 
  held 
  in 
  place 
  by 
  the 
  locking-stud.
