No. 20514.—3rd January, 1906.—UNITED-XPEDITE FINISH-
ING COMPANY, of Berwick, State of Maine, United States of
America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of
the said State of Maine, and having a place of business at
205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, in said United States of America. (assignees of
Calvin Butterfield Tuttle, of Lynn, Massachusetts aforesaid,
Counsellor at Law). Improvements in machines for finish-
ing heels and the like.*

Extract from Specification. — In the machine disclosed,
which constitutes one embodiment of the invention, we pro-
vide a plurality of rotary work-members, shown in this
instance as rotary brushes arranged with their respective
acting faces opposite one another and in an adjacent rela-
tion, so that the work may be advanced between them and
opposite sides simultaneously subjected to the action of said
faces. The boot or shoe is advanced end first between the
work-members, and its varying width from point to point
along its length is accommodated by relative yielding of
said work-members. A stop is provided to limit the intro-
duction of the work between the work-members to the extent
desired. In the machine for finishing heels herein disclosed
the stop and work-members are so arranged relatively that
opposite sides of the heel may be acted upon throughout
their entire area when the heel is advanced between the
work-members.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.]
