Description: |
| C. H. Wendel's "The Circular Sawmill" reproduces an illustration from an 1882 issue of "American Machinist" that shows a sawmill with this design. The patent date is just legible on the feedworks control lever. The machine itself has unusually ornate castings.The patent is for a headblock that allows the sawyer to disengage either of the headblock knees at will, which simplified the sawing of tapered lumber. |
