113,268 Apr. 04, 1871 Improvement in stave-jointers Harry A. Crossley Cleveland, OH The nature of this invention consists in the construction of the face of the wheel in a straight line from the periphery to a point three-fourths the distance therefrom, and thence curved down to the inner circle, the cutter being ground in conformity with the said curve.
"The object in thus curving the face of the wheel off at the inner circle is to cause the wheel to shave off less at the bilge or central part of the stave, and make the edge of the stave, from the ends to the commencement of the bilge, in nearly a straight line. This makes the staves fuller at the bilge, and when placed together in the barrel will bind closely together at the bilge and make a tight joint."
