Comments:
I believe I found this setworks dial, or 'face,' from a circular saw mill rig in the Town of Lincoln dump in the 1980's. I saved it then and have it still, approximately twenty years later.

Cast into the apparatus is the note, 'Pat'd April 26, 1881.' A search of patents on this date show a patent for this apparatus for Denison Chase, of Orange, Massachusetts, for 'Set Works for Saw Mills,' patent 240,659. This was for the Chase mill, a popular New England saw mill.

If some one call tell me how to do so I will upload the drawing from the patent showing this face.
