made to clip o r clamp the said pivot wire
by fixing and adjusting screws. By these
means, in combination with the parts are
secured greater steadiness in the hammer
and greater certainty and accuracy of di-
rection and incidence of the blow given by
it. The invention also secures greater
durability and less liability to disarrange-

the actions generally used. Secondly the
invention consists in the use in combina-
