4 Clever Inycntinn

Mr. Thomas owen, a ell-known en-
eFaver of this city has, after long years OF
arduonS labor, just perfected very in
genious automatic line producing machine
which in its practical application viii prove
an invaluable adjunct to drauehtsmen, en-
sneers, architects, chalk plate engravcrs
and in fact to all who make accurate line
drawing part of their work.
The machine is simple in construction
and works automatically in producing lines
either straight or in circles, graduated or
perspective, and is arranged with such
mathematical correctness that any number
OF lines may be produced to the inch and
adjusted at any distance apart with abso-
lutte correctness. This machine is to the
draughtsman what the typewriter is ia the
stcnographer or the sewing machine to the
scamstress. 1t accomplshcs in a few min
ntes what would require hours of tedious
application by hand.
Mr. Owen has protected his invention by
patents and though II is not Yet on the
market, he has already organized local
stock company to handle It,
