To all whom, it nmy concern:

The invention consists in providing, first, a 16 is an adjusting-screw for coaoting with 6 5 plane-body having two openings or throats in the adjusting-block to move it back and forth,

It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that many changes and alterations might be made in the construction shown in the drawings without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.

What I claim is 1. In a doubleended plane, a body portion having two throats, a plane-iron and reversible means for adjusting the cutting depth of the iron at either throat.

2. Adouble-ended plane comprising a body portion having two throats, a plane-iron and a pivoted reversible means for adjusting its cutting depth of said plane-iron through either of said throats.

3. A plane comprising the combination of a body portion with two throats, a step, pivots therefor, a screw coacting with said step and an adjusting-block operated by said screw.

t. In a plane, a body portion having side flanges and two throats in the sole, a planeiron, clamping means therefor, two rods connecting said flanges, supports between said throats for said iron, astep, an adj usting-screw for said iron coacting with said step and adapted to coact With either one of said rods for support.

5. In a plane, a. body portion having two throats, supports between said throats,a planeiron, a reversible adjusting-block therefor, a guide for said block to the rear of each throat to prevent its rotation and a screw coacting with said block for, the purpose specified.

6. In a plane, a body having two throats, two supports therein, a plane-iron, a step pivotally mounted between said supports, an adjusting-block, and a screw coacting with said step and said block.

Signed'at Shepton Mallet, in the county of Somerset, England, this 4th day of February, 1904.
