Feed Mechanism
The all-important feed mechanism remains unchanged.. is independent of the vertical movement of the object block. With every complete revolution of the counterbalanced drive wheel, the pawl engages precisely into the teeth of the rachet wheel, feeding on the forward strock and disengaging until the next stroke. The rachet wheel rotates a feed screw which advances the cone a measured distance from left to right across the face of a vertically moving inclined plane. This reduces the ratio of feed and drives the object block forward toward the knife in such precise increments that issue can be sectioned down to I micron in thickness, compound slide ways provide smooth, accurate object travel. The up and down excursion of the object block is two inches… permits cutting of large serial sections.
