Tho pnrt nmrked A represcnts the wood part 0f the nxles A;

B, the trzweling wheels;

O, the opernt-ing genrs; und

1), tho tootlied clntches, l y 1neans 0f which they nre joined f0r operntion.

These pnrts am constrncted und combined in the ordinnry nnnnier, und therefore need not he in0re fully described.

'lhudevice for operating the clutches consists of' two metnllic bnrs, E E, srn ported in hnngcrs aa 011 the frnme l 'lhc unter emls of the hnrs E l nrc' clnsPe(l to tl1e hnb b of the gears O, which huhs nre movahle npon the axle in the nsnnl mnnner.

'lhe lmrs E E arc joined I0 the lowor e1nl of n lnnnl-bar, G, by 1nenns 0f link-pi'eccS I[ 1-1, as shown in the (lrnwing, the pivots c c und (l all bcing loose, t0 allow fren nction of thc pnrts.

'lhe links H 11 arc nttnchcd t0 thc simles und back 0i' [Ire cnrls 0f ihn bnrs E E, so thni; when rh0 links harre becn depressed ihr enongh to nnlock the clntches tl1c onds of the sliding-bzns E E \\lll 00m0 togethcr, ns shown in iig. 1, prevcnting l'nrther downmn;d moramcnt o! the links, und holdi'ng und stendying all the difi'crcn parts in the position theyihen occupy, nntil the links nreagain mised for the purpose of' throwihg the clutohes into gear.

The lmnd-bar G is supportod by an npright stand nrd, secnrcd to the nxle A A, shown ab I, und providecl with gnide J, throngh whicli the bar G passes, EIS indicated.

A notch, e, is for1ned in the side 0f t-he bar G, which catches npon the edge of the uppe1 guide J, and hold's the bar G &l]d links H H in an elevnted position.

A spring, K, is arranged npon n projecting lng, f, nt one side of the st-nndard, which spring presses agninst; the Sid6 of the bar U und f revents the notch e i'rom slipping oii fiorn the erlge of' i:he gnide J, all 0i' which is fnlly indicnted in t-he drawing.

The npper e1nl of the hn-r G is ronnded 150 forin n snitzrble handle, L.

T0 throw ehe clntches D int0 gear, the op'erntor takes hold of the lnrmlle L und rnises the-bnr- G ihr eiiongh t0 bring the link-pieces H H intc 'line with t he bar E, as indicnted in fig. 2, und the nction of links H H presses the bar E to the left und bar E so ehe right, and thereby operntes the clntches.

T0 throw the clutchos ont of gezir, the operntor lms only t0 (linW' back the upper end cf bar G, t0 release the notch 0 froni'the gnide J, und let the links drup to the position indicnted in fig. l, which drnws the hingcrl t0 thc sirles nnd back 0fthc onrls of sni l bnrs lnnnl-hnr G, stnndnrd l, gnides J, und spring K, snid psirts being arrnngcd for joint; opornt-ion ns herein shown und Set i'0rth.
