Claims.—(1.) In means for drawing off beer or other liquids by pneumatic pressure, maintaining a supply of air compressed to the requisite degree in a suitable vessel by means of an air-pump, and supplying air therefrom at a reduced pressure by means of a reducing-valve to a cask or other vessel containing beer or other liquid, the reduced pressure being sufficient to force the beer or liquid out through a draw-off pipe, substantially as described and shown. (2.) Means for drawing off beer and other liquids by pneumatic pressure, consisting in combination of an air-supply tank as A, air-pump A1, pressure-gauge A2, reducing-valve B, barrel or cistern C, extractor C1, and draw-off tap D, and with the pipes and fittings, all substantially as described and shown.

(2.) A machine of the character described in claim 1 for operating on the soles of boots and shoes, having a work-support and driving-means therefor, and means for varying the effective speed of said work-support by varying the pressure of the work against said support. (3.) A machine of the character described in claim 1 for operating on the soles of boots and shoes, in which the working-devices are mounted in a movable support, and means are provided for rendering the driving-means effective by movement of said support in one direction, and ineffective by opposite movement of said support. (4.) A machine of the character described in claim 3 for operating upon the soles of boots and shoes, in which the support for the working-devices consists of a head movable across the top of the column of the machine, and the driving-means comprise co-operating parts, one held by said column and the other by and movable with said head. (5.) A machine of the character described in claim 1 for operating upon boots and shoes, in which the working-devices comprise a tool such as a channelling-knife, and having means engaging the work in advance of said tool, and acting to impart movement to the work at an angle to the line of feed and towards said tool. (6.) A machine of the character described in claim 5 for operating upon boots and shoes, having a bearing-wheel the acting face of which is disposed obliquely to the surface of the work to engage the same in advance of the tool to direct the approaching work to the work-support and feeding-means.
