From patent number <a href="http://www.google.com/patents?id=pLp5AAAAEBAJ&amp;pg=PA8&amp;dq=1,989,365">1,989,365</a>:<br /><blockquote>This invention relates to scroll saws...<br /><br />...and even with very narrow blade necessarily employed in such work it twists making it difficult to operate or causing a rupturing of the blade.<br /><br />The chief object of the present invention is to provide means whereby torquing pressure to turn the blade is applied sustantially equally to both ends of the blade so as always to maintain the blade in a flat or untwisted condition and thereby overcome the difficulties referred too.</blockquote><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/album%207/pic1149sm.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/album%207/pic1149aa.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1150.
