Grinding Planer Knife.

Patent for a new and improved attachment for grinders of wood-planing-machine knives. This design "may be securely attached to the frame of a wood-planing machine for grinding the revolving knives of the planer without removing the knives from its shaft or the shaft from its bearings upon the frame of the machine. . . . in so constructing and combining the parts of the improved device . . . it may be readily adapted to suit various-sized machines" (lines 10-22).
