These machines are of three sizes, one with a 28 inch saw for cutting siding, flooring and fencing, from kants prepared by an upright saw, as represented; one size with 36 inch saw, constructed in same manner, and used for same kind of sawing; also, for sawing boards from logs, sided up with an upright saw; and one size with 58 inch saw, for sawing direct from round logs. These machines are capable of sawing two thousand feet of lumber per hour wilh ease, if properly attended. They cut whilst the log or timber moves in eitherdirection, and thus lose no time in gigging back. It is said that large numbers of them are in operation in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
