Description:
From December 1829 Journal of the Franklin Institute, Vol. 9, pages 409-410.

"For an improvement in the Machine for Cutting Pannels for Carriages, and other Work, and Veneers, around, or off, the circular surface of a log; Job White and Phineas P. Quimby, Belfast, Waldo County, Maine, September 12.

"On the first of May last, a patent issued to Caleb B. Burnap, of Belfast, Maine, for a machine for cutting veneers in one continuous sheet, around a log. We have since seen specimens of the veneers so cut, which were perfectly well executed. We believe that the claim of Mr. Burnap was to the machinery employed by him, only, and not to the cutting around the log, although we think such a claim might have been sustained. The present patentees use circular saws, but turn them and the log, and also give the traversing motion by machinery constructed differently from that of Mr. Burnap.

"Their claim is to the application of the circular saw, in the manner described by them; to the combination of the machinery, whatever its position and to the raising of the gate, so as to permit a greater flow of water in order to increase the crank motion, as the log diminishes in size, by means of a screw, gearing, or lever, attached to the machine."
