Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

4,558,537 Dec. 17, 1985 Centerless Honing Machines Having Automatic Size Control Roderick B. MacLeod Bristol, Bristol County, RI Abstract:

Centerless honing machines are described for honing external cylindrical surfaces on a series of workpieces. Each machine comprises a pair of spaced adjacent rotary rollers for supporting and rotating workpieces while also causing them to travel axially along the rollers, at least one honing stone for engaging and honing the workpieces, a fluid pressure operated device for pressing the honing stone against the workpieces, a gaging device for gaging the size of the workpieces and for producing gaging signals, a pressure regulator for supplying fluid pressure to the fluid pressure operated device, and control means operable in response to the gaging signals for adjusting the pressure regulator to increase or decrease the fluid pressure and thereby to increase or decrease the amount of stock removed from the workpieces by the honing stone to achieve closer agreement between the finished size of the workpieces and the desired size.
