The machine is then set in motion, when the block falls against the cutter-knife, and the model against the model wheel. This wheel, running along the model, beginning at the toe of the same and passing slowly along to the heel, holds the block to be cut at just the proper relations to the cutter-knife, so that the block shall take the same shape as the model. The model and the block are respectively moved over the model wheel and cutter-knife simultaneously, by means of a regularly graduated "feeding" apparatus, which is a part of the machine, and which may be made to move as fast or slow as the work requires. On the machine various sizes of lasts, of the same general form as the model, but accurately reduced or increased in size, can be turned. A machine of this description costs about six hundred dollars.
