- Ad in 1955-56 Hitchcock's Wood Workers Digest Directory, published 1954, showing their panel saw for fabricating countertops. It is rather like a radial arm saw, except that the carriage is fixed on both ends, and is about five feet long.
- A posting in the oldwwmachines discussion forum describes the restoration of a Hendricks panel saw, and extols its advantages. A follow-up posting provides an anecdote about Bob Hendrick.
- There was an unrelated Hendrick Manufacturing Co. of Carbondale, PA, which was assigned several patents related to "shaking screens". We have found no patents related to the Marblehead/Salem Hendrick Manufacturing Co.
