primed by pulling the screw at the end of the handle
and released by pressing the trigger on the dorsal
aspect of the handle. The depth of the cut is altered
by the central screw on the body. Marked "G Tiemann

"American Surgical Instruments" by James Edmonson and similar
earlier instrument is shown in figure 1650 P 115 of
Tiemann's American Armemantarium Chirurgicum and on
this site.
