FOUNDATION MILL. 



(Patented: May 23d. 1882.) 



Believing it to be to the Interest of Bee-Keepers to make their own Comb. 

 Foundation, at home, under their own personal supervision, I have labored for 

 more than three years to devise a Mill that would be both cheap and ej^enf. 



Having now perfected my invention, I submit it to the judgment of my fel- 

 low Bee-Keepers, believing it to be as good as any, and superior to some of the 

 Foundation Machines heretofore made. 



The rolls of ray Mills are made of hard type-metal. They are not formed 

 into shape with a punch, but are cast in sections, by which means 1 can make 

 the grooves for forming side«alls X of an inch deep in the rolls. It can be 

 readily seen that as Che wax does not reach the bottom of the groove, the top 

 wall is not pressed upon at all, but is left as soft as it is possible for any Ma- 

 chine to make it. 



By a simple device the upper roll may be raised to permit the end of the 

 wax sheet to be passed through at starting, without any impression, far enough 

 to take hold of; the pressure. is then put on by moving a single lever and the 

 sheet rolled through. 



Samples of Foundation and Descriptive Circular will be sent on application.
