H. B. Brown Co. manufactured Merriman bolt cutting machines.
This bolt cutter has long been known for its simplicity and the good quality of the work produced by it. The manufacturers are now changing their patterns with a view of building much heavier and more solid machines than ever before. The construction of head is shown by the cuts opposite. The ring, sliding forward over die box, forces dies down and holds them solidly by the flat top of dies. The dies can be changed within 30 seconds. The machine is of course a four die machine the only form which will do perfect work.
It is supplied with oiling apparatus as shown in cuts of machines or at a slightly increased expense, with oil pumps. An adjustable attachment for automatically opening the dies is also supplied at small extra expense.
Dies of either United States, V., Whitworth or metric thread supplied with the machine ; also left hand dies and pipe dies at extra cost.
Double machines for railroad work or otherwise.
