From Graces Guide
502. MANSELL, THOMAS, 94 Bull Street, Birmingham — Inventor and Manufacturer.
Patent fly press for cutting with steel tools or knives on an even surface of steel, with accuracy. By the system of "bed and punch," and the still more imperfect mode of cutting on a bed of lead, zinc, or wood, both beds and tools are soon out of repair and destroyed; by the patent press both remain uninjured, being accurately adjusted to each other, so that every part of the tool has an equal bearing on the of steel bed.
Patent boot-blocking machine, to complete the shape; in about one-eighth of the time employed in the usual method, and also to preserve the upper leather of boots from breaking under the joints.
