No. 15203.—2nd August, 1902.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of said State of New Jersey, and having their principal place of business at 205, Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignee of Eugene Franklin Davenport, of Melrose, Middlesex, Massachusetts aforesaid, Travelling Salesman). Improvements in skiving-machines.*

Claims.—(1.) In a machine of the kind described, the combination with devices for operating on the work of a feeding-mechanism, comprising two members normally driven at the same speed, and means under the control of the operator for reducing the speed of one of said members to vary the rate of feeding. (2.) In a machine of the kind described, the combination with a cutter of mechanism for feeding the work, said feeding-mechanism comprising a work-support and a feeding-disc adapted to co-operate to feed the work, a driving-shaft to actuate said feeding members, and a slip connection between said driving-shaft and one of said feeding members, whereby the said feeding member may be manually retarded by the operator. (3.) In a machine of the kind described, the combination with a cutter of feeding mechanism, comprising a work-support and a rotary feeding-disc adapted to co-operate to feed the work, a driving-shaft for actuating the feeding-disc, and a slip connection between the disc and the shaft whereby the disc may be manually retarded by the operator.
