Fig. 433, is another illustration of the heart-shape template, but made to go five revolutions to one of the lathe, with the circular movement of the template chuck, and the slide-rest movement, and in which case the form of the template is entirely superseded.

The above are, I think, sufficient to illustrate the productions from templates, some very pretty patterns can be executed. My object is more particularly to exhibit the use and extended application of my rose engine, and it will be perceived the last two are not the most easily working templates.
The variety of patterns that can be executed with this engine are so innumerable that one may say they are infinite. Well may you in your article quote what Bergeron says of the rose engine, "that it isnecessary to know thoroughly the particular one in use."
I also make use of the cogwheel on my mandrel, by connecting it by a spindle and the change wheels with a large compound slide rest, for executing spiral turning, and also with my slide rest forornamental turning, for small spiral work; and with a chuck with a circular movement I can cut several spirals to one stem.
In concluding my description I will say the specimens given have all been cut on a plain surface, and this has been unavoidable on account of printing, but for the information of those unacquainted with the rose engine, the very great advantages of which over the eccentric and geometrical chucks are that the work can be executed on concave or convex surfaces. I make use of mine for ornamenting the roofs of temples and Chinese pagodas, either domed, curvilinear, or circular pointed, by representing them covered with shingles, &c. The geometric chuck will produce very beautiful intricate lacework, but not more so than my apparatus, as they both are on the same principle of change wheels, and can both produce equally fine work; but with my apparatus the work is always concentric with the mandrel, and therefore much more pleasing to execute.

"Technical education forms just now a topic of more than ordinary importance, and, as far as we can see, 'The English Mechanic' fills a large space in providing technical food for the workmen of Great Britain. There is scarcely a subject in the scientific or mechanical world that is not practically described in this excellent journal, and all the technicalities explained with a particularity quite remarkable. Here the workman in all departments of trade will find something to interest him, and many things explained by which he will be able to make the best use of his knowledge. The editor is always anxious to satisfy the cravings of his readers by giving every information possible to those who may require it. The trouble taken in this department is apparent on reference to the 'Letters to the Editor' and 'Replies to Queries,' both of which form original, very important, and useful features of the magazine. Under the head, also, of 'Our Subscribers' Exchange Club,' a means is opened for persons to exchange one article for another on mutually advantageous terms, and for this accommodation no charge is made. For instance, one correspondent says he has a silver watch which he would exchange for 'The Lives of Eminent Men;' another wants 'a cottage piano' for 'a three-horse power horizontal engine;' and a third has 'a hand sewing machine,' which he would give for 'a parallel sliding vice.' The illustrations of 'The English Mechanic' are worthy of all praise; they are drawn with an exactness which is so necessary, and so much appreciated by workmen, and are also well printed. Throughout the whole publication there is a visible, a practical, and technical knowledge of a high order—a kind of knowledge that is highly prized by all mechanics and men of science."

W. J. CUNNINGHAMANDCO.
Beg to call the attention of the Public to their newly-invented Ornamental Wood and Metal Cutting Machine. Its extreme simplicity of construction precluding the possibility of speedily getting out of order, having no springs, and its peculiar adaptability to all kinds of fret-work render it at once an acquisition and an indispensability where accuracy, expedition, and high finish are required. The working is exceedingly easy, requiring no more exertion than an ordinary Sewing Machine for ladies' use, and making as little noise. Its great utility, combined with neatness of construction, fits it not only for the workshop, but the drawing-room of the amateur. The saw takes the place of a pencil in the hands of the operator, enabling him to produce the most elaborate artistic designs in wood-work. Box or other hard texture woods, 1 inch thick, are as readily sawn through as the finest veneer; metallic plates of ⅛ inch thick are also speedily pierced. Magnificent specimens executed by this machine, which have been universally admired for their extreme delicacy and perfection, and acknowledged to be unrivalled, may be seen at the inventor's address. The length of stroke of the saw can be varied to the work in hand. A simple mechanical contrivance is attached for blowing the sawdust from the saw whilst working, also a Circular Saw.
An equally valuable invention is W. J. C. & Co.'sPatented Drilling Apparatuswhich is with the greatest advantage combined with the Sawing Machine, enhancing and enlarging its range of usefulness, or it may be adapted to a lathe, or as a distinct machine. Its great advantages over the ordinary lathe for drilling purposes must be apparent when by the addition of this apparatus to a 5 inch centre lathe the operator is enabled to drill in the centre of three or more feet, and the drill being vertical and worked by leverage, greater accuracy and facility is ensured. For ornamental purposes it surpasses all hitherto contrived methods, not being limited to one centre around which to describe curves, angles, circles, or any other mathematical figure, the operator is at perfect liberty to describe every conceivable device the fancy can dictate.
Advantages and Capabilities of this Machine.
This Machine can be adapted to any Lathe, see page 131.

Transcriber's Note:1. Page 38, Bunhill-row, Covent-garden and Charing-cross seems to be an old-fashioned way of writing.2. All references to illustrations have been linked for ease of use, as the paragraphs are mostly extremely long, and illustrations have been moved to end of paragraphs to facilitate smooth reading.3. This table of contents has been created by the transcriber to aid the reader.4. Footnote 20, Page 183: Footnote marker is missing.5. Page 238: starting the 3rd table, there is a fraction 33-1/14. This has been changed this to 33-1/16, as it seems to be a mistake.6. Spelling errors such as guidepiece, sawgates, swiveljoint, tongueing and whiteing have been retained as they are in the original. 7. Discrepancies with 3/4-inch and 1/4in. have been retained as in the original. 8.Inconsistencies with images:a. Page 22: Fig 31D is incorrect in the book as E. Changed to 31D and removed fig. no. on the image.b. Pages 36 & 38: numbers 53-56 are repeated.c. Page 74: It seems the reference (Fig. 126) should be Fig.116.d. Page 89: There is no Fig. 137 or a reference to it.e. Page 99: The number 9 on the image is back to front. There does not seem to be a Fig. 148, although it is referred to (page 98)f. Page 98: Fig. 148 is incorrectly numbered on the image as 143.g. Page 100: There is a 2nd reference to Fig. 149, which it seems has to be an illustration of a pattern, but there is no 2nd Fig. 149. It seems the Fig. nos. mentioned in the reference s/b 150 to 153.h. Page 104: The illustration is incorrectly numbered as 153 (should be 156).i. Page 107: The number 9 on the image is back to front.j. Page 111: The number 6 on the images is back to front.k. Page 112: Fig. 166 incorrectly numbered as 165.l. Page 141: There is no Fig. 204. ( assumed to be the top image above Fig.205)m. Page 159/160: Number repeat for Fig. 229.n. Page 160: There is no Fig. 230. Possibly the 2nd no. 229.o. Page 178-184: Numbers 246-255 are number repeats.p. Page 185/6: There is no Fig. 257, but no reference to it either, so it is assumed this wast an omission by the author.q. Page 189: There is no Fig. 261, although it is referred to on page 189. The reference has been changed to Fig. 262, which it pertains to.r. Page 201: Fig. 284 is out of sequence, it appears on page 209.s. Page 207: It seems the reference should be to Fig. 290, not 296 which has no L in the figuret. Page 231: Fig, 319 is referred to, but there is no Fig. 319. Presumably the first figure on Page 233u. Page 236: Illustration top un-numbered, presumably 4.v. Page 278: Figs, 422/3 is referred to, but there are no Figs. 422/3. Based on extensive research, comparing two different copies of a matching edition, and correlation of illustrations with the text, it appears that the inconsistencies in numbering within the book make it seem that something is missing. The images are in fact Figs. 420 and 421.
