Though closely following the lines OF the

the cylinder. The carriage used is known
as the cantilever and is perfectly balanc-

machine by a new construction which az
fords complete support without the aid OF
the front shift rail The carriage being
longer and consequently heavier is made

made exceedingly light and easy owing TO
an improved shifting mechanism which
takes up the weight of the shifting portion
of the carriage upon the ball bearings.

ton the cylinder can be easily and quick
