      Window-frame pocket
     | 
    Francis V. Phillips  | 
    Chicago, IL | 
    The innovation here is to cut kerfs in a rectangle on either side of a window stile so the two sets of kerfs do not quite intersect. A hammer blow then causes the wood between the kerfs to split, creating a pocket cover and a stepped opening, so that the cover sits exactly flush in the opening. A machine using this system was seen in an 1898 advertisement from Smith & Phillips Mfg. Co. |
