width of olapboard, and it has a gauge that may be used for variouspurposes.
The figure is a side elevation, embodying my improvementf A is a part of the stock. It may be made of wood bottom, to hold the tongue init, and it is provided with a set-screw that will hold the tongue in any desired position. On it, andthe other part of the stock, is a scale to adjust the implement by, so that no other scale or rule is required to adjust it by.
When made of wood, the other end should be shielded with metal, to prevent wear when used as a common gauge.
B is the other part of the stock. It must he made to correspond with the part A, and, at one side, is a tongue that iits into and slides in the ygroove, of the part A, so that it may be adjusted to any required width of clapboard. I
When` made of wood, the tongue should be faced with metal,.to prevent wear when the implement is used as a common gauge, and for the point of the setscrew to press against, and be provided with a metal point, as au ordinary gauge. I
The other end has an aperture for a spike, similar. to the one in the end of' the part A,l and a channel to receive the spike when it is not used.v
-O is a spike, that is made of metal and fitted into the stock A, and it is held by a piu passed through them both, that will allow the spike to be turned in any direction, as indicated by the dotted lines in the figure, and it is fitted to the channel in the stock A,
andthe point is laueeolated, so that it may be easily driven into and withdrawn from the clapboard.
D is also a spike, and made similar tothe other one, and held in the same manucr, aud used for the same purpose. f v v To use my improvement, drive the spike Davllere the lower edge ofthe clapboard is to be placed, being careful to have the side upward that is straight, or which forms a right angle with the stock; and, when the clapboard is nailed,.turn the other end of the stock upward, and drive the spike 'C into the claphoard, and when another clapboard is nailed, withdraw the spike D, and turn the downward end of the stock upward, and drive the spike again, as represented by the dotted lines in the upper part of the figure, thus repeating until thework is finished.
I claim as my invention- The stock, when made of the parts A and B, and
