  Chubb, 
  Post- 
  Mills, 
  Vt. 
  ; 
  patented 
  September 
  12, 
  1882 
  ; 
  ferrule 
  for 
  fishing- 
  

   rods. 
  (See 
  Plate 
  LXXVII.) 
  

  

  The 
  object 
  is 
  to 
  promote 
  reliability 
  in 
  seeming 
  ferrules, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  

   ferrules 
  of 
  fishing 
  rods 
  in 
  place. 
  An 
  annular 
  groove 
  is 
  formed 
  in 
  the 
  

   ferrule 
  after 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  arranged 
  in 
  place. 
  The 
  ferrule 
  is 
  indented 
  in 
  

   the 
  bottom 
  of 
  the 
  groove, 
  and 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  groove 
  is 
  then 
  milled. 
  

   The 
  grooving, 
  indenting, 
  and 
  milling 
  are 
  designed 
  to 
  be 
  done 
  in 
  a 
  ma- 
  

   chine 
  successively, 
  but 
  at 
  one 
  operation, 
  by 
  suitably 
  formed 
  tools, 
  as 
  

   indicated 
  in 
  dotted 
  lines 
  in 
  Fig. 
  3. 
  

  

  The 
  inventor 
  says: 
  

  

  "lam 
  aware 
  1 
  hat 
  ferrules 
  have 
  been 
  secured 
  to 
  sticks 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  

   annular 
  grooves, 
  and 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  singular 
  indentations 
  made 
  here 
  and 
  

   there 
  without 
  method, 
  and 
  that 
  ferrules 
  have 
  been 
  ornamented 
  with 
  

   milled 
  rings, 
  and 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  claim 
  either 
  of 
  these 
  alone 
  or 
  broadly 
  as 
  my 
  

   invention."

  a 
  stick, 
  of 
  a 
  ferrule, 
  E, 
  having 
  an

   groove 
  formed 
  in 
  it 
  by 
  pressing 
  the

  into 
  the

   indentations 
  formed 
  in 
  it 
  at 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  its 
  groove, 
  substantially 
  as 
  

   herein 
  shown 
  and 
  described, 
  whereby 
  the 
  said 
  ferrule 
  will 
  be

  The 
  object 
  is 
  to 
  obtain 
  a 
  uniform 
  strain 
  and 
  spring 
  in 
  fishing-rods 
  

   throughout 
  their 
  entire 
  leugth. 
  

  

  A 
  represents 
  the 
  butt 
  of 
  a 
  fishing-rod, 
  B 
  is 
  the 
  grip, 
  and 
  C 
  is 
  the 
  rod. 
  

   The 
  grip 
  forms 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  butt, 
  and 
  the 
  rod 
  passes 
  in

   upper 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  butt,

  has 
  a 
  screw-hole 
  in 
  its 
  end, 
  or 
  in 
  a 
  cap 
  or 
  

   ferrule 
  attached 
  to 
  its 
  end, 
  to 
  screw 
  upon 
  a 
  screw 
  D, 
  secured 
  to 
  the 
  

   butt-cap 
  E. 
  The 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  butt 
  A 
  is
