A \(/onderful Machine

"Tid-Bits" tells this one:

A bunch of manufacturers and other industrialists were sitting around talking business, and most of them boasted of wonderful new and mechanized equipment and machin" ery of the prewar period, some of them quite boastful of their progress along this line.

Finally a quiet member of the group who had been listening but saying nothing, stuck in his oar to announce that he had that very morning installed a most marvelous piece of machinery in his plant. They wanted to know how it worked, and what it did. He said:

Timber Engineering Co. Moved

Timber Engineering Co. of California, A. C. Horner, manag'er, has moved to 4314 California Street, San Francisco 18. The telephone number is SKyline 7972.

Mr. Horner is also temporarily representing the National Lumber Manufacturers Association on building code work.

"'It is operated by means of a pedal attachment, and a fulcrum lever converts a vertical reciprocal motion into a circular movement. The principal part of the machine is a large disc that revolves in a vertical plane. Power is applied through the axis of the disc, the work is done on the periphery, and the hardest steel is reduced to any required shape by mere impact."

"Great Scott !" exclaimed one of his hearers. "\ltlhat is this marvelous machine?"

And the quiet man, quietly replied: ..A GRINDSTONE."
