TRANSACTIONS OP THE 



Gray <f- Woods'' Improved Planer. 

 Gray & Woods, Boston, Mass. 



This cut represents the machine as recently improved, with solid iron posts 

 and cross head, in place of wood. Also showing the machine with the feed rolls, 

 or Woodworth attachment, when not in practical use. The frame on which they 

 are hung having been swung back on its hinge to allow the bed or carriage to run 

 back and forth, the lumber being dogged in order to plane straight and out of wind. 



Gray and Woods'' Planer, show?i as a Woodworth Machine. 



This cut represents the same machine as first, but has the position of the feed 

 rolls changed or swung into their place for use and a board running through, and 

 planed in the same manner and with equal .speed, and better even than is dona 

 with a common Woodworth machine, thereby making the one machine do both 

 the work of the Woodworth and the Daniels planer. The change from one style 

 of machine to the other being effected almost instantly, by simply swinging the 

 roll attachment back or forth on its hinge, without the trouble of lifting them off, 

 as heretofore applied. 



These machines will be readily appreciated for all kinds of shop work, such as 

 carpenters' shop work, pattern making, piano forte work, cabinet work, sash and 

 door manufacturing, ship carpentering, &c. It can be adapted to sticking archi- 

 traves, cornices, base mouldings, and various other kinds of work, having the 

 advantages of two machines combined in one, and for but a trifle more expense 

 than the cost of one alone. And when once in operation for planing straight and 

 out of wind, the mere cost of the rolls will be all the necessary expense to make a 

 most complete Woodworth planer, as it will not require any additional room or 

 expense for shafting and belting. [^ silver medal awarded.
