l1;"Iiefm`rs Patent No; 121388, dated April 1o, 1855.

i theiiineriend ofitfand this shaft properly `fitted so as to revolve in a boX or bearing attached to the movable frame L, a part of thisfshaft near its out end is properly fitted? so `as to revolve in the standg/ which is secured to the sliding frame L as seen inthe drawing.` i

At the outend of the shaftVVl I attachia X1 `'for `the purpose of propelling vor turning the auger, and chain buckets.

The bevel gear P gears into another bevel geardouble its size as seen at O, which turns in the adjustable boX `or stand as seen at Q, this stand is composed of two parts which vcan be* opened i so as to let the well tube Y through, the two parts of the stand Q,`

being hinged at one endas seen at` Figs.` l `and 2, soaslto be shut together, Vholding'the gear O, and fastened by the latch Z.

I design to use an iron pipe or tube as seen at Gfor turning the metallic auger B,

it being; fitted tothe metallic cross head l?) `and thusl held by the pin m, each of the o ends of thiscross head being rmly secured o to the cylinder or auger B, the tube'C passes down `iromthe crosshead 72 to the crosshead e e `Zto whichjit is made" fast, near to eachend of this crosshead, is secured the upper ends oftwo ironrods one of which is seen at y, togthelower end .of them the steel cutter c is secured, this cutter having a recess formed in its edge, and` a corresponding projection made `on the inside of the `cylinderlso that `the4 cylinder, cutter, and tube will turn `firmly together, andnot twist as the power is `applied to the machine, the lower cutter andpipe C can be removed from the cylinder by removing the pin m, from it and drawing it out from the under or lower end At the upper end of the tube `C` I attach aY lsecondarypiece of iron tube` e', by the socket*y lV, to this tube I fasten the iron gear O, it` being made in two parts s'o as to be` easily separatedand removed for the purpose of 'putting in the pipe `or curb to .the` well, the two parts of the gear O is held `together by the studs R andkeys S, it being held to the` secondary tube e, `friction created r. by ,driving the keys S,the inside surface of the two parts of the gear do not quite apprach each other so that the pressure caused by the keysv is received by thetube e', in the `upper end of this tube, I `fit the stand H so as tou revolve lwith itcarryingthe lchain or.

bucket wheel F, the bevel the gear T.

The upper end of the stand H is fitted so as to revolve in the self adjustable metallic bar K which forms the bearing for the stand H to revolve in, and slides in the stands N for the purpose of keeping' the gears U and T together when the chain is taken up or let out. The gear U being fastened to the bar K which can be easilyremoved from the sliding frame. L for inserting or letting down the pipe or tube which is designed to form the lining of the well.

The gear T being revolved around the stationary gear U, revolves the gear T and turns the shaft to which it is attached and also the iron bevel gear J which is attached gears I and J and -to this shaft, and which gears into and revolves another 'similar bevel gear as seen at I which is attached to a -hori'ontal shaft and on this shaft is fitted the Lipper chain or bucket wheel as seen at F, which as itis revolved, carries or moves the chain of buckets so as to receive the dirt or other substance in the boring cylinder B, and leave this dirt or substance, the desired elevation.

At the lower end of the tube C is fitted and fastened a stand as seen at Gr in which is fitted the pin on which the chain wheel revolves.

I construct a metal chain of buckets for elevating and discharging the dirt or other substance from the cylinder, the links carrying the buckets can be cast of brass or otherwise made as seen at E and the intermediate links as seen D, t-he links are connected together by wire pins, the ends of, which are seen in section at Fig. 3, the buckets E are recessed on the back side of them, so as to receive the teeth or arms of the upper and lower chain wheels F as seen at Fig. 3, there should be a partition cast or otherwise fiXed in the augur or cylinder B as seen at f for the purpose of allowing the chain of buckets to their lowest position, then to pass under the partition f and then receive the dirt, water or other substance and carry it to the desired elevation as before stated.

The cutter as seen at a, in the cylinder B is made of steel, one of its edges swinging or turning on the pin as seen at and is properly adjusted so as to cut the desired diameter, by the arm g one end of which is connected to the cutter a, and the other end to an arm shown only in dotted lines at Fig. 5, which is firmly attached to the lower end of the upright shaft e, near the lower end of this shaft is fitted to a stand or projection which is cast on the inside of the cylinder, and near to the upper end of this shaft or rod is fitted to a hole that is drilled in a projection on the cross head b.

On the top end of the shaft e I iit and fasten an arm as seen at a, and in the out end pass freely down to.

which can be done to any extent by attaching additional lengths of pipe or tube as will be necessary in progressing with the boring.

To the frame A I attach two bearings as seen at o, and into them is placed. an iron or wood cylinder as seen at t, which can be revolved or turned by the crank s, and pin r, to this cylinder I attach a chain as seen at y?, having a grapple connected to its lower end as seen at Q for the purpose of raising the auger B. In cases where the chain buckets are not used, the upper end of the chain can be attached to the hook n, in the gear 0. The lower end of the chain remaining in the auger so that the chain will be revolved with it, and when the auger B is stopped to clear it of dirt or other substance, the upper end of the chain can be connected to the cylinder t, and the auger drawn up out of the ground by turning the crank s, to clear it of dirt or other substances as before mentioned.

To operate my machine I place it over the spot selected for boring, then apply power to the driving shaft which will turn the boring cylinder B, the weight of the frame L will press the cylinder downward the cutter K first coming in contact with the earth, and boring the same diameter of the cylinder until lthe adjustable cutter a comes in contact with the earth cutting it,

and removing it into the inside ofthe auger, the enlarging of this hole both allows the auger to continue its boring without binding or sticking, and to allow of the pipe descending as the boring is continued,

after the boring has progressed a short distance, I remove the cross bar K from its' posit-ion, and the large bevel gear O from its position on the tube C, then I take a section or piece of a hollow log of wood `or tube of metal which has been previously :prepared to line the well, so as to enter the hole which has been cut by the auger B, and place one end of this tube or hollow log as the case may be, down into the hole upon the top of the auger,

the gear O and cross bar K, fastening the gear O to the tube C by the keys S, then again apply the power to the driving shaft and the auger will be revolved, cutting the earth as it descends,- and allowing the log or tube to descend with it to the desired depth, adding from time to time sections of ltube if required, bythe process just rethen I replacecited, the dirt orfothersubstanoebeing `removed from the auger by the chainbuckets,

`,and ,carried to the desired elevation, this chain of buckets beingconstructedas described,"` and operated by the same power Y that turns the auger, as hereinbefore de- So that the lining andboring of the Well is going forward at one and the same time.

l And `the boring auger B, can `be drawnup through `the ltube` by 4the means beforementioned, the cutter @,swinging or moving inward so as to allow the auger to be ele` a t vated freely, assetforth.` f

" I donot claim an"endlesstleather band` carrying leathernbuckets around two sta- Vtionary revolving pulleys, as used in 'flour "ing mills as such are well known.` i n 1. `The boring cylindenB, having a cutter 1 at `its lower end, and anV adjustable vcutter `in its periphery for enlarging the hole,l so

that the auger cannot bind when in use, and so that the tube designed to line the well, can follow the auger or cylinder B, downward and allow this auger to be drawn up through the lining tube, by the shutting or moving of the enlarging cutter, all being arranged and operated in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

2. I also claim the metallic chain of buckets Ein combination with the earth cutter B operating, or moving, in such manner hwithin it, as to receive the earth as fast as it is cut from the ground, and elevate it to 'the desired height, essentially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
