W. J. CUNNINGHAM AND CO.

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 1/8 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.'s PATENTED DRILLING APPARATUS which 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.

Transcriber's Note:

1. Page 38, Bunhill-row, Covent-garden and Charing-cross seems to be an old-fashioned way of writing.

2. Italics are shown as _text_, bold is shown as =text=.

3. Carat characters are shown as ^X.

4. This table of contents has been created by the transcriber to aid the reader.

5. Footnote 20, Page 183: Footnote marker is missing.

6. 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.

7. Spelling errors such as guidepiece, sawgates, swiveljoint, tongueing and whiteing have been retained as they are in the original.

8. Discrepancies with 3/4-inch and 1/4in. have been retained as in the original.

9. Inconsistencies with images:

a. Page 22: Fig 31D is incorrect in the book as E. Changed to 31D and the fig. no. on the image has been removed.

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 should be 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 was 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 figure.

t. Page 231: Fig, 319 is referred to, but there is no Fig. 319. Presumably the first figure on Page 233.

u. 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.
