ire if the settingbecomes too close on account of the clearance notbeing kept uniform. In the Williams Stripping Motion the Combstock is mounted at each end in bearings which slidein guides away from or toward the Flats. Theaccurate setting of the Comb is maintained bymeans of shoes which press against the workingseatings of the Flats and govern the position of thesliding Comb stock bearings. The shoes haveadjusting screws to regulate the setting of theComb, and the shape of the shoes is such as to allowfor the heel of the flat. The sliding bearings of theComb stock are pressed inward by springs whichkeep the shoes against the working seatings of theFlat. The Comb blade is given a receding motionwhich effectually strips all impurities from the wire.This action, together with the fact that it is impos-sible for the wire on the Flats to be forced into theComb through the accumulation of dirt or fly on theblocks or Flat seatings, makes this Stripping Motionthe most perfect on the market.
