a late and novel addition to tn
woodworking establishment of MI
Clinton Smith is a system of tubes
convey the shavings away from the var
Gus machines, saws, planners, etc. Asid
from the tubes, the principal feature q
. the apparatus is Il rotating blower, whic
keeps up a strong current of air throug.
1T the tubes, sucking up the chips and dus
and carrying them into the shaving room
whence they are taken by hand to tn
boiler that supplies the heaters in tn
m mill and playhouse with steam. The on.
q fit easily does the work of one man, anC
m besides, prevents the accumulation of n
fuse in the way of workmen.
