SPHERE MACHINE<br />

IT MAKES ROUND BALLS FROM ALMOST ROUND BALLS<br />

A sphere machine assures a perfect sphere every time which would be difficult by hand.<br />

This one, owned by Tim <strong>Mid</strong>dleton, requires hand applied grit while it is working. Some<br />

machines use three heads (and motors) and may include a continuous grit drip system. It<br />

requires a high degree of faith to trust these machines to do a perfect job without human<br />

attention.<br />
