Stanley, of Waynesvllle, has Invented and perfected the con struction and operation of a high precision scientific instrument to I which he has given the name "Spiralizing Instrument". The or | iginal Instrument was and is in tended to be a drafting instrument called a spiralieer. "But," Stanley explained, "although the original was not a precision tool, it did a good job of constructing the Archi medean spiral to which it was lim ited." There being two different spirals, the Archimedean, and the logarith mic, much in use by mechanical draftsmen. Stanley wanted the tool to draw both spirals, but it was - rapable of drawing only the one. ' The difference between the two I spirals'." the inventor explained. | "is that the distance between the j spiral turns in the Archimedean is' iniform tnrougnout me lengm 01 he spiral, while the distance be ween these turns in the logarith nic or equiangular spiral continu >usly inrreases throughout the ipiral, becoming tapered or wedge ihaped." To make a mechanical device hat would automatically draw a ogarithmic spiral seemed for a while to be impossible, he said, ind continued: "it was all there, he right idea, and the right prin :iple, but it wouldn't work. Then [ finally reversed the application >f the prlncipl.e and the device spiralizing instrument was born lr :hat instant." At first he thought he had onlj found a way to make one instru ment draw both spirals. But as h? went alnog making the drawing oi the new mechanism, many unex pected features t^ecame apparent (See Inventor?Page S> R. C.
