Spoke-pol′ish-ing ma-chine′.

A machine for smoothing spokes after turning and before painting.

Rouse's machine, July 8, 1873, has a continuous sand-belt moving in a direction contrary to the rotation of the spoke. Several articles are placed in the same frame, which are automatically moved to the sand-belt in succession. See also Woolsey's patent, August 24, 1869.
