Cuts Gears More Accurate Than Master Gears Indianapolis, Thd., May 29, 1910. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I operated the Stevenson Multiple Shaper Gear Cutting Machine during a one hour test, May 26,1919, and that during that hour the machine cut seven hundred thirtythree 16-toothed, 20-pitch Brass Gears. The last arbor of gears cut during this time was tested by our superintendent, Mr. James T. Daily, with a Brown &. Sharp Micrometer and showed a variation from tooth to tooth of only .002 of an inch. A set of Master Gears which we recently purchased from a very reliable Eastern gear cutting company, were given the same micrometer test and showed a variation of .0032 of an inch. Thus, this Multiple Shaper Gear Cutting Machine cuts gears more accurately and much more rapidly than gears can now be cut by any other gear cutting machine heretofore invented or now on the market. Very respectfully, J. P. Lane, Machine Foreman.

Cuts One Complete Gear in the Time One Tooth is Usually Cut One of the city's youngest and most thrifty industries, this company has thrice ou’ grown its quarters in less than two years. It is now preparing to move into a very much larger new home, about March 1. On February 26, 1919, it began operations with only three men. Now it employs more than 100 persons. The company has, up to this time, devoted its efforts to building machines for its own use and taking contracts for shaping and cutting gears. Now it is prepared to furnish machines, on lease, to all classes of industries using gears, saws, etc.

Possibilities of These Machines Are Limitless When it is realized that the automobile industry alone cuts about 600,000 gears a day, the field for the Stevenson Gear Cutting Machine is seen to be limitless. The Stevenson Multiple Shaper and the Stevenson Multiple Miller, instead of cutting gears one tooth at a time, cuts all the teeth or a multiple number of teeth at one time. In other words, while other machines cut one tooth, the Stevenson Machines cut, approximately, one gear; or one machine of the Stevenson Multiple type will do as much work in any given time as from five to thirty machines of any other type now in use. The largest manufacturing concerns have used the products of these machines and have found them to be a wonderful advance over anything now in use. A Limited Amount of Stock Remains to be Sold. In order to equip our splendid new plant for gear cutting and the building of Stevenson Gear Shapers on a large scale we are offering a limited amount of stock, sale of which will close March 5, 1921. This company is composed of Indianapolis men and is financed by local capital. If interested, write for complete information contained in our prospectus.

Cuts Over 400 Gears an Hour, Accurately Indianapolis, IncL, May 15,1919*. To Whom It May Concern* I recently visited the plant of the Stevenson Gear and Manufacturing Company and saw the Stevenson Multiple Shaper Gear Cutting Machine in operation cutting commercial gears. These were 16-toothed, 20 pitch gears and this machine cut them at the rate of about 400 per hour. Some of these gears which I saw Mr, Lane cut, I took with me and tested them on a Brown & Sharp Gear Testing Machine in the testing room of the Midwest Engine Company; submitted them to the same test we give the commercial gears, used in our plant. These gears tested up to as high a standard of perfection as any gears we have ever tested. The machine is very simple of operation and has a wonderful capacity for production. Very respectfully, IV.
