BARREL MAKING MACHINE. While in Whining

The machinery is in two story mill, and worked
by In the lower story, the slaves are OUT.
This is done by revolving cylinder about l8 inches
in diameter of iron STEEL and about the length of
a common stave. This cylinder is hollow, the shell
forming the cylinder being of the thickness Of
mon circular saw blade On one end of the cylinder
cut the teeth of a and with this the staves
are cut OUT The cylinder reVolves horizontally, and
the piece of wood of which the staye is to Be cut
is placed against the revolving at the proper
thickness for save, and the runs through the
other end of the wood when The stave is separated,
and is the inside of the cylinder, and the parent
block the outside. This gives the stave the proper
shape with regard to the rotundty of the BARREL.
These slaves then taken up stairs, and machile-

lathe. They here have knives tools for smoothing
the barrel outside and inside for cutting the groove
where the heads fits in, and for bevelling the rim.
- So rapid is all this done that Mr. Peters tells us
