Improvement in sawing machines
|
Edsell Totman |
Columbus, PA |
This machine was featured on the front page of the 1865-05-27 issue of Scientific American, and it was manufactured by Reynolds & Totman of Fredonia, NY. This horse power and sawing machine was also seen in an 1871 catalog from Sellew, Adams & Co. of Gowanda, NY; it seems most likely that they were re-selling the machines made by Reynolds & Totman. |

Tenoning machine
|
Edsell Totman |
