No. 1 Style
eggbeater drill.
Type 0 - Prior
to any of my Millers falls catalogs.
Here are the two
Type 0 drills side by side. The second example is the upper one.
The only difference
that I can discern is that the main spindle of the first example has a
slight taper at the handle end, whereas the second example's spindle is
cylindrical there. Both chucks are very simple - bifurcated longitudinally,
with an internally tapered closing nut. I'd like to think that these
drills originally came with a set of diamond points and a tiny little wrench
for tightening the chuck - all inside the "match safe" handle, with its
too-strong helical spring closure.
