#41 Type 2 (1873)
Please note the change in body style, the "Roman nose"
shape is gone and the hook is eliminated. This and subsequent
types are referred to as the "cyma curve frame" The
thumb screws on the fence and body are still of the same construction,
with the exception of the screw heads being recessed so as to
be below the level of the third knurling. New with this type
is the introduction of tightening holes in the rods (visible
on rear rod). The slot in the filletster cutter is closed at
the top, this change occured somewhere in mid 1871, however several
type 2 planes have turned up with open slots. |
