Machine Description:	AMC & Oliver's 1st machine

Notes:	I just received this trimmer. It's the machine shown in the first trimmer patent which Joe Oliver submitted, and which I had previously referred to as the "no number" trimmer. However, it's marked as being a No. 2. None were known to exist previously. I'll add pictures and more info in the near future.
