11. Bertrams, Ltd., and Gillespie, R. F. Jan. 1. Cutting cylinders transversely to their length.-A machine for cutting-up rods or tubes of indiarubber and the like into sections comprises a rotary table or sill a carrying a plate f provided with funnels g, in which are placed the rods &c. r to be cut up ; the rods are free to descend on to the table or sill by gravity. The table a is rotated by worm gearing to carry the rods &c. successively into engagement with a rotary cutter or cutters h. The thickness of the slice cut may be regulated by a vertical adjustment of the cutter h or of the plate f. In a modification, the sill is independent of the rotary table and consists of a plate of horse-shoe formation adjustably supported below the table. In this modification, the funnels are driven by a rope passing around pulleys thereon. In a modification, the sill s is adjusted by screws t, Fig. 9, operated by bevel-gearing, and may carry a pointer s4 working over a scale on the outside of the casing v. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 2621/70, [Class 5, Agricultural appliances, Earmyard &c.], and 13,319/88, [Class 145, Wood &c.].
