Each press of the trigger allows the wheel to spin one fourth of a rotation. Stock is slightly loose. Wheel is too tight. Minor rust. Stamped on the left side of the "receiver", "FRANDINE MODEL C, | U.S. PAT.{ | 1724271 | 1724708 | 1748215 | CAN. PAT. 302691". The first patent indicates that the rubber bands could be cut from "old inner tubes." The three U.S. patents were granted in 1929 and 1930. |
