W n V nMr d2 I a m HHL I departing from invention, Ito claim the'structure speclfica'lly as well as the clutch for centering and holding the same, as the wheel can be pressed down upon the table and can be rotated byany suitable stop thereon. This is mentioned because in practice two machines are made use of in dressing and facing the centers of the wheels on e"machine precisely as here illustrated w-i-tlfthe' clutch jaws: for engaging the metallic felly, and the other with those parts omitted, it being unnecessary. to clutch thewhe'el after one side has been "faced.

It will thus be seen that the structure. is capable ofconsiderable variation Without "broadly as pointed out 'in the ap-pen'de'd claims. 7 I "Having thusdescribed the invention, what .is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent is:

' 1. The combination of a-suitable framework,-a revolvingcutter head carried by an overhanging portion thereof, means for drivtable disposed with a raised center to one pitman connected to actuate: said sif Emu-ltaneously, a central segment gear meshing with the-saidhpinionsto-ractuate the same simultaneously, a I trunnione'd air' cylinder carried on the under side of said plate connected toanarm on the central gearfor operating the same, an upright air cylinder with a piston for carrying the said table to and from-the-said cutter-heacha gear for "revolving thevp'lunger for rotating the said table, a tight and loose pulley with air ac tuated belt shifter, and airconnections for simultaneously operating the said. clutch and plunger cylinders, coacting as specified.

2. The combination of a suitable frame work, a revolving cutter 'head carried by an overhanging'portion thereof, means for driv- "111g the same, a horizontal revolvlng work table disposed "TV-1th a raised centerto one side of the cutter'head, a center stop pin therefor and -a corresponding :stop carried by the overhanging port1on,-an.upr1ght air cylinder with a piston for carrying the said table to andfrom said cutter head, a gear forrevolving the plunger for rotating said table, a tight and loose pulleywith air actuated belt shifter, and air connections for operating the plunger cylinder, coacting as, speclfied- 3. The combinationof a suitable frame worlna revolving cutter head carried by an overhanging portion thereof, means fordriving the-same, a horizontal revolving work table disposed'with a raisedcenter to one side of the cutter head, clutch jaws radially It is desired disposed on the said plate with shanks projecting there-beneath,segment pinions with pitman connected to actuate said jaws simultaneously, a central segment gear meshing with the said pinions to actuate the same simultaneously, a trunnioned air cylinder 'carried on the under side'of 'said'plate 'connected to an arm on the central, gear for operating the same, an upright air cylinder with piston for carrying the said table to and from the said cutter head, a'gear for revolving therplunger for rotating the said table, a tight and loose pulley with air actuated belt shifter,-and air connections=for simultaneously operating the said clutch and plunger cylinders, coacting' as specified.
