Suppose yOu are turning right hand furrow and wish
TO change to the left, you give rod under the rght

There is one defect in the one exhibited, which is
easily reInedied The pntle upon which the beam turns

with shoulder for the to screw down upon without
touching the beam 1t is a recent invention the patent
