Mr.. Sleeper, inventor OF machinery for the
construction of cans sold by the Sleeper
Company of Boston. There is also rolling
mill to roll ribbon solder for use on the
seamer. To complete the cans three dis
tinct operations are required, each rapidly
performed by machinery. This seamer is
the only one in use that can make cans of a
variety of sizes. This improvement is Sc
cured by an ingenious arrangement for eX-
change of certain parts. The machinery
occupies a floor space of about four feet
| SQUARE, anu turns out from l,SUO 10 LOW
cans per hour. TIE header recently COM
peted can be run by a boy at an expense
of not more than three-fourths of a cent per
hundred cans. 1t is claimed that the entire
expense of scanning and heading under ordi-
nary conditions will not exceed two cents
per hundred. Their invention effects an
immense saving of labor and has future.
Mr.. Sleeper is a believer in judicious pro-
lection of American interests.
