Model of punching and shearing machine made by Simon Goodrich for Portsmouth Dockyard
This is a working model of an early punching and shearing machine designed by Simon Goodrich, Chief Mechanician to the Navy Board, for Portsmouth Dockyard.
The punch and the moving shear blade are attached near the fulcrum of a long lever on opposite sides. The lever is raised by means of a handturned flywheel and gear train, and allowed to fall back by gravity.
