L()(:ke'.s wire ii()i,i)i-:R and twister. 



This device was invented by S. D. Locke, and applied to the auto- 

 matic wire binders manufactured by the Walter A. Wood Mowing & 

 Reaping Machine Company. The holder consisted of a clamp, and the 

 twister for uniting the ends of the wire was a toothed wheel. One of 

 the two wires to be twisted was placed in this wheel at one side, and the 

 other at the opposite side, by the movement of the needle. The rotation 

 of the wheel caused the ends of the wire to be twisted together, after 

 which the completed l)and was cut from the supply wire and the bundle 

 ejected from the binder.
