early shape cutting
            machine patents

Patent no. 1,869,836 was issued to James L. Anderson on
August 2, 1932.  Like most patents issued after the original
pantograph design was patented in 1917, this one deals
with a minor improvement.
       In this case, it is the method by which the overhead tem-
plate is secured to the upright column.  Anderson's claim
was for the placement of stress upon the template at the
point labeled 14, above.  The tension caused by tightening
the bolt at 14 presumably held the template in place better.
