Period
Presumably used c. late 1890s- late 1940.
Canada
Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1]
Function
Used for boring, reaming and other purposes.
Technical
The spiral body of the auger bit allows shavings to be directed away from the cutting tip, and so eliminates need to interrupt cutting and remove tool in order to clear out the hole. The screw lead and twisted body of the bit "pull" it through the hole, reducing the force or pressure which must be exerted.
