SHAVING HooPs BY MACHINERY. Capt.
A. A. Daley has perfected his patented
hoop-shaving machine and is now giving
practical demonstrations of its work in the
small building at the foot of Main street at
the head of what was formerly Lanes
wharf. Power is furnished by gasolene
engine. Capt. Daley knows all about
shaving hoops by hand, having lived in
Searsmont in early life and worked at the
business, and for years has had machine of
this kind in mind. He finally constructed
one of wood that worked perfectly and then
came to Belfast and got the Duplex Roller
Bushing Co. to make a complete machine.
1t took some little time after the machine
was set up to get the power adjusted, but
everything works perfectly now. The num-
Der of hoops that may be shaved in day is
upwards of 1000. and il will do the work of
eight to ten men, and do better work. Two
tests were made Tuesday and ten hoops
were shaved in 1 minute, 80 seconds and l
minute, 10 seconds, respectively. In run
ming through large number of hoops but
one was spoiled and that was dry stick
twisted like a cOrkscrew. The Duplex
Roller Bushing Co. will manufacture these
machines for Capt Daley and those inter-
ested are invited to call and see the one in
operation.
