  March 
  18, 
  1884;

  for 
  casting 
  leads 
  

   on 
  rish-nct 
  lines.

  The 
  lme 
  is 
  wouiid 
  upon 
  a 
  reel, 
  the 
  circumfereuce 
  of 
  which 
  forms 
  one- 
  

   half 
  the 
  matrix 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  line 
  lies, 
  a 
  projecting 
  arm 
  under 
  which 
  the 
  

   reel 
  passes 
  forming 
  the 
  other 
  half. 
  The 
  molten 
  metal 
  is 
  conducted 
  into 
  

   the 
  matrix 
  and 
  cut 
  off 
  by 
  a 
  trough 
  which 
  slides 
  in 
  the 
  groove 
  of 
  an 
  arm, 
  

   and 
  is 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  handle 
  for 
  convenient 
  manipulation 
  (Fig. 
  1). 
  

   This 
  trough 
  is 
  perforated 
  at 
  intervals, 
  and 
  when 
  pushed 
  into 
  its 
  place 
  

   fits 
  with 
  its 
  perforations 
  over 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  groove. 
  The 
  two 
  parts 
  are 
  

   clamped 
  together 
  during 
  the 
  casting. 
  The 
  reel 
  having 
  the 
  line 
  wound 
  

   upon 
  it 
  is 
  turned 
  until 
  one 
  of 
  its 
  pieces, 
  G, 
  is 
  brought 
  under 
  the 
  arm 
  B. 
  

   It 
  is 
  then 
  clamped 
  at 
  its 
  inner 
  end 
  by 
  the 
  vertically-adjustable 
  pin 
  J, 
  

   which 
  is 
  moved 
  into 
  connection 
  with 
  it. 
  Its 
  outer 
  end 
  is 
  clamped 
  by 
  

   the 
  lever 
  M. 
  The 
  matrices 
  are 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  grooves 
  c 
  g, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   line 
  lies. 
  The 
  molten 
  metal 
  is 
  poured 
  into 
  trough 
  P 
  and 
  flows 
  down 
  

   through 
  the 
  holes 
  into 
  the 
  matrices, 
  and 
  is 
  thus 
  cast 
  in 
  each 
  around 
  

   the 
  line. 
  The 
  sliding 
  trough 
  is 
  then 
  drawn 
  back 
  sufficiently 
  to 
  cut 
  off 
  

   the 
  metal, 
  the 
  clamps 
  are 
  released, 
  the 
  reel 
  drops, 
  is 
  relieved, 
  and 
  is 
  

   turned 
  until 
  its 
  other 
  piece 
  G, 
  is 
  brought 
  into 
  relation 
  with 
  arm 
  B, 
  

   when 
  the 
  operation 
  is 
  repeated. 
  In 
  this 
  way 
  many 
  sinkers 
  are 
  cast 
  upon 
  

   the 
  line 
  at 
  regular 
  intervals 
  and 
  at 
  one 
  operation.
