The company claim for this improvement, that by its extreme portability, simplicity and strength, is fitted to render important aid in cutting down trees. It cuts close to the ground, thus saving wood, may be adjusted so as to cut at almost any angel, leaves the butt ready for the mill, does its work with great rapidity, runs easy, well get out of order. By using Spur Gear Wheels, instead of beveled, the motion is reversed, and the machine adapted to sawing off logs. Both of which machines are now being made in the most substantial manner.
Throughout the region where wood is plentiful and required for fuel, the application of a movable one horse power to this machine, to saw the trees or logs into lengths suitable for the stove or locomotive, will greatly cheapen the process of preparation, leaving it in better condition, besides saving a large percentage of wood now wasted by the axe. A diploma awarded. Patent #15,913. |
