of 18 Mercer Road, Malvern, Victoria, Australia, Engineer.
Improvements in pneumatic hammer rock-drills.*

Extracts from Specification.—The object of the invention is
to provide a simple and ready means for introducing water into
the hole being drilled. . . . This object is achieved by intro-
ducing the water through the engine-cylinder and drill-chuck
or collet into the axial hole of the drilling-bit, and forming
suitable packings to prevent the water escaping back into the
cylinder or forwardly out of the machine, said packings being
disposed between the engine-cylinder and drill-chuck, or other-
wise as may be found necessary according to the construction
of machine employed.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists broadly

manure will then fall. This chain may be caused to travel
along through a number of divisions in such hopper, in each
of which divisions a different kind of manure is placed. The
special novel features of the invention relate to the manner
of arranging the endless chain for the purpose mentioned,
and to the various details of construction and operation
that will be referred to.
