The shaft 14 is rotatable on its axis and whenthe shaft is rotated, the pinion 15, cooperating with the rack 7 will Vcause the base plate 1 and parts`carried thereby to move in an orbit, in a way well understood by those skilled in the art.

In Figures 4, 5, and 6 parts hereinbefore described and designated by numerals previously used with the suiX a. In this form of the yinvention the marginal rib 4a is a separable 'member whereas the rib 4 of Figure 2 is Jformed integrally with the table,

ture, furthermore, is such that the parts 4a V and 6 may be made out of a better gradeof material than the "rest'ofthe deviceand this is desirable, because the parts 4a and 6:carry the'racks which must bear the wear resulting from the actionofthepinions 15-15a. The

shaft 14, taken as typical, has/a good bearing inthegroove andV inthe slot. The pinion. 15 is sustained, laterally, to a desirable -*and satisfactory: .extent because `it projects between the table 5 and the cover ring IO-and between the cover plateS'and thelug s The generalconstructionis such that accessmay be had to alll working parts by removing the securing elements, such 1 as the bolts 9-11.
