PAINT MIXER.

The [wood-cut] on [page 9] of this work shows a useful Paint Mixer for hand power, called the “Little Giant.” The advantage of this Machine is that it can be taken to the spot where the Paint is required, and any quantity up to five gallons mixed in a few minutes. The drum can be removed for distributing the Paint by pulling down the lever. The size of the container is 15-in. × 10-in., and is interchangeable. The weight of the “Little Giant” is 3¹⁄₂-cwts. when complete. The machine should be of great use to those having to mix Paint where work is being done, and should appeal specially to Builders, Shipbuilders, and Engineers.
