Show CIRCULAR MOTOR-DRIVEN SAW THAT FELLS TREES Ingenious Arrangement of Cutting Timber All Units of Plants Assembled on Wagon Can Cut Close to Ground. Ingenious Portable Saw Outfit. This illustration gives an excellent Idea of an ingenious arrangement of a circular saw and gasoline engine to be used for cutting down trees. All the units of the plant are assembled on an ordinary farm wagon, the saw being arranged on a mast which swings from the back end of the vehicle, vehi-cle, says Popular Mechanics. The gaso- line engine belt is connected to a horizontal shaft, which in turn is connected con-nected to a perpendicular one. A belt leading from the perpendicular shaft whirls the saw, which can be raised or lowered to satisfy the requirements of height. As shown in the illustration, illustra-tion, the saw can be made to cut very close to the ground, which is a distinct dis-tinct advantage. |
