Show SAW A I 1 arwas it iti i aj aweeka 1 s ago 67 that an ingenious mechanic mr 10 george of nashua N H had bad in invented 4 a machine by which a circular saw was run Without an arbory barbor and in such a manner as to cut a aboard nearly the width of 0 the saw the ai no made some stir in mechanical circles and it was boldly asserted in high quarters that the the editor of the nashua telegraph thus settles the d dispute we have seen the machine ne operate a and nd can tell the editor how it is done his other inquiry is s aheady answered the saw which we saw op erate ei ate is a foot in diameter and cuts a board ten I 1 iches wide and we will try to lo tell lell how the thing is doue done the is and w saw baw placed horizontally upon i two opposite edges lies tightly held between two iron wheels or pulleys pulley i covered with leathea lea then i an iron plate passes across the centre upon the upper side or of the saw in which a pivot attached to I 1 the upper side runs this keeps the saw steadily in its place while the under side of the saw presents pie a clear tui face from th the pulleys upon one edge to I 1 those upon the other motion is applied to these I 1 pull pulleys Tys and nd those on the opposite side hide of the saw moving moving in in opposite osite directions the saw is moved rolind rapidly lap idly held in place as before t cited cited by tile the pivot i evolving in the plate across the centre this plate pate is bi ought brought to 10 an edge upon either side so that in sawing a board it s spi brings pr ings so as to pass pasa 01 er it the log tor for the machine is designed for sawing logs is placed upon tile he carriage which feeds itself and as it progresses the board passes over the plate when it has ept through the he board is removed the log raised by a convenient operation so as to lo cut ut another board the motion reversed and the ceiri carriage are 11 goes back fagain gam cutting cuttina a hibard as it goes and so on until the log is is all sawed up the great adva advantage niage of the plan is the ability to saw large logs a saw four feet in diameter sawing a board nearly its own width the power being applied d to the outer edge of the saw it Is is obvious that the larger the saw tile the greater the power being increased in in the same ratio that it is is depressed decreased in the old method it may seem as if the pu pulleys ae s woich which impart motion lothe to the saw might be made to slip upon it when any obstacle is placed against it but we saw it demonstrated demolish abed again and ag again ai n that ahat while lethe the pulleys run the saw run and hd when an 61 o secle of buffi cant force was applied to stop the bawit stopped tile pulleys and let a I 1 three inch belt slip upon the shaft the saw holding the ike pulleys fast tile machine is an ingenious one and yet ei simple in its principles the ile proprietors prie tors elors of lne he patent ere are mr george the inventor tai of 0 1 nashua and mr john mul y of bangor maine 1 1 by whom it will be introduced tac e a to the pine I 1 forests fo of that state and will a revolution i in the lumber business busin ps of that region N Y cour |
