According to a family member, the inventor is the son of Smithway founder O. P. Smith. This patent is for a sander for face-sanding plywood sheets.
"This invention relates to panel sanding machines. More particularly, it has reference to improvements in contour sanding machines of those types wherein a continuous abrasive belt of the full width of the panel, operates about belt mounting rolls and is positioned thereby to engage in sanding contact with a surface of each panel as successively advanced through the machine; such panels generally having a width of four feet and length of from six to twelve feet." |
