Millers Falls No.85 eggbeater drill; 
Type 15 - The triangular Millers Falls logo (Millers Falls Mass.) and new style number are now stamped astride the affixing screw on the crank.  The frame retains its steel center hub for a side handle and the provision for the No.1's back-support wiper, but the No.85 style does not use either the side handle or the wiper.  Nor is there any shoulder on the narrower main gear.
The main handle has a newly rounded shape and is made from thickly red lacquered hardwood rather than the former rosewood.  Nevertheless, the Star pattern, protected-spring, 3-jaw chuck is still used, but with a longer body.
