Th mold 1 then removed and th ston remain fixed In th aluminum, ready to be applied to the cutting tool. Th machine used (the Invention of a Belgian working In th United State) for th cleaving la a small circular saw of about four to five inches in diameter, which rotates at a high rate of speed and la driven In the ordinary way by a leather belt from th running machinery.
