Here are the "Rockway twins" my dad is going to post the full story of thier rescue so stay tuned. The saws serial numbers are BQ 1608 and BQ 1653. I have 1608 and Dad has 1653. Ill post more pictures of the units in coralhounds iron on the yahoo group.

Note the custom work on the right lower shield (to the left side) this was a duct for dust collection that was welded rather skillfully to the shield.

The lower guide assembly is one HEAVY block of steel a small 5" X 5" plate was bolted to the top of it with counter sunk screws.
