Outside of as shown in Fi .2, and preferably provided with a pinhole 15, whereby it"may be readily supplied with another pulley, or quickly connected with a saw-arbor, as will be setforth more fully hereafter. The other end is also extended, s'oas to carry an auxiliary sanding roller 16, as shown in Fig. 5, whereby the sanding of a floor may be carried close to the base-board. This roller may be applied to the other end of the shaft if desired.

Th'e'housing is closed at the top by a cover 17, and on this is mounted an electric motor 18, which is supposed toconnect for operation with any lamp-socket by a suitabledrop- 20 connects by a belt 21 with the pulley 14. The proper tension is applied to this belt by 'anidler 22, carried by ed rock-shaft 23 .mounte'din bearings 24. spring 25 connects with the breaker 2'6, andis drawn or relaxed by a notched plated? engagin a stud or screw'28.

At each side of the main housing is pivpla'te 29 provided with a'hollowgudgeon 80, on which revolves a carrying wheel 31, held in place by a capring32. Each of these wheels is of practically t e same diameter as the sanding roller. Each projecting side of the cover is provided with an adjusting screw 83 abutting on'the bearing-plate as shown in Fig. 3. It is evident that the screwing of these front end of the housing and the roller from the floor, the weight of the parts, and the v superimposed motor operating in theopposite direction. By this meansit is possible to adjust the roller with all the desired accuracy to the surface to be sanded,'and the operator has then only to run the machine over thesurfa'ce, and depend entirely on the machine so adjusted to produce a smooth and level surface. I Y

the rear, the housing is carried by a caster-wheel detachably ,swiveled in a bearing 35. As the carrier-wheels are 'mounted concentric to the sanding'iroller,

it evident that the adjustment of the .hra'sive to'the floor surface is not affected of the cast'o'r, and whether Iitbe running over a rise", or ahollow, the sanding contact-remains unchanged. Provisien'as 'niad'-'for qtiiekly lifting or depressing the sanding-roll without chan screws 62.

ing the adjustment. At each side of the housing is pivoted a bell-crank lever 36, one

arm of which engages the wheel-bearing plate, and the other is linked by a connect ing-rod 37 with a bail lever 38, pivoted to the housing at 39. A stop-stud 4O limits the downward movement of this lever, Depressing this lever by the toe lifts the sand ing-roll off the floor, and a lift of the lever by the toe restores it to its former position.

The machine is propelled by a handle 4-1 attached to a ln'achet The handle serves as a support for a dust-bag 4:3 slung under the handle, its lower, open end secured to an outlet til at the rear of the housing. This outlet communicates with a fan-case ll-5 inside the housing,and in this is a small fan 46 adapted to receive the dust of the sand ing operation and throw it into the dustbag. The fan is driven by av belt 4-7 running 011 pulleys 48 and 49. An opening in one side of the housing, closed normally by a plate 50, gives access to the interior, to clear the fan of any obstruction.

In Figs. 5 and (i, the machine is shown as adapted for other operations. A frame serves as a support for the machine, and comprises sills 51 and a series of crossbeams. Two of these, 52, are provided at the rear with a bridge 53 carrying a central stud 54 to enter the socket at the rear of the housing when the castor is removed. On one of the cross-beams is a hollowed plate 55 to receive the tread of one of the carrying wheels, a flat plate. 56 serving for the other. This holds the machine securely in a fixed and definite position. Between the beams 52 is mounted a bottom-board 57, pro vided with lateral brackets 58 and adjusting screws 59, whereby the front end of the board may be raised or depressed. Adjusted to the proper thickness of easing material, the hoard serves as an accurate guide for such material, which is run through under the sanding-roll and given a smooth finish.

On a cross-beam 60 mounted a pair of sockets 61 to receive the stems of an angled guide-plate 61" set over the auxiliary sand ing-roll, and adjustable by means of hand- This serves as a guide by means of which the edges smoothly and accurately finished.

On cross-beams 63 is mounted a sawlrame 64.- carrying a tilting table 65. The saw-arbor, which is at the exact level of the sanding-roll journal, is coupled thereto by a coupling or pulley 66 made fast to the saw arbor and to the projecting end of the journal above referred to. This supplies the oiner with a shttmg saw as a very convenient ad unct in the finishing of an interior. The saw arbor may carry bits 67, and

serve as a boring machine by means of the sliding guide 68.
