has also in this depSrtment two foot power
mortising machines Ikor doing light work, a
sash clamp for squirting and clauping the

to the uninitiated what an amount OF ma
chinery it requires to make..so small thing
as sash. For paking blinds he has a
blind style boring machine, and tenant
ing machine to tenant the ends of the Stats !;
they are then placed in large cylinder or
roller. which is made to revolve slowly and
the friction produced by rubbing the Stats
together makes them smooth.

Adjoining the engine is the boiler room,
