Boring and drilling.- In a portable pneumatic drill, the two sets of parallel cylinders B<1>, C<1> are inclined to each other and have between them a live-air chamber E and cylindrical valves I, I', which are parallel to the crank shaft F and lie across the rear ends of the s e t s of cylinders. The tops of the valve casings J, J' are closed by perforated discs, and the valves are kept against these discs, and the collars l<1> of the valveoperating spindles L<3> against the lower closing- discs L', by live air which passes through the holes i<7>. The spindles L<3> are oscillated by levers N', eccentrics on the crank shaft, and eccentricrods M<2>, and have arms l which take into crossgrooves in the valves to oscillate the same but allow them to move laterally, the live-air ports and passages being so arranged that the valves are pressed against the casings J, J' at the parts where the cylinder ports end. The air passes through the ports i<3> or grooves around the valves into the cylinders and escapes through ports i<5>, longitudinal passages i<4>, and the perforated discs, or through grooves around the valves. The supply of air through one of the tool handles Q, Fig. 19, is regulated by a valve S perforated to register with the ports q<1> and loosely connected, so as to be free to move longitudinally, by a pin-and-slot joint with a perforated plug T fixed by a screw r to a rotary sleeve R on the handle. The pinion on the crank shaft and a spur-wheel on the main shaft H are encased beneath the cylinders and air chamber E, and the feed-screw O, Fig. 18, works in a sleeve P which is adjustable in another fixed and internally-screwed sleeve P' to give a large range of action. The hand-wheel O<1> can be secured to the screw O in any position by a set-screw o<1> ; when in its lowest position, the screw O depresses a drill-ejecting pin.
