A block of thor- oughly-seasoned yellow pine, 18 inches square, was used for the test. Into this a hole 5% inches in diameter was bored by the drill. ' The drill is reversible and can tbe operated with equal facility forward or back- ward. It weighs 12 pounds and is especially adapted for wood boring. A screw feed attachment permits of its use for light drilling and ream- ing in iron and steel. It is meeting with great favor in the failroad shops, ship yards and factories. The drill is known as the Chicago No. 14 and is manufactured by the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. J. A.
