Image Description:
"This machine is operated by the No. 9 flexible shaft, through the usual clutches. The power is carried through a worm and gear to the spindle. This has an arm revolving with it, carrying two cutting tools that may be cutting in the same place, or different places, at the same time. These tool are fed down by feed screws and hand wheels, until the hole or ring is cut out.

Cuts holes from 6 to 18 inches in diameter.

Price, $250.00"

This machine is a mystery to us. We cannot find a patent for it and don't know what a "Dead Light or Air Port Cutter" means. Also, its price of $250 in 1894 seems very high. It would be equivalent to $7000 in today's economy.
