er 28 "MARINE REVIEW. [February 27, BAND RE-SAW. The machine herewith illustrated was recently placed on the market by the J. A. Fay & Egan Co. of 325-345 West Front street, Cincinnatt, Ohio, and is known as their No. 36 band re-saw. This machine will be found very valuable for converting lumber for ship yards and arsenals and will do the work rapidly and accurately. It will saw _ either straight or beveling, and owing to the position of the rolls with relation to the blade short pieces can be re- sawed to advantage. It will re-saw material 30 in. wide and 13 in, in thickness; will re-saw to the center of 10 in. and will saw fram the side of a timber 8 in. thick, or will take a 5-in. piece from a timber 13 in. thick. The wheels are made entirely of iron and steel, the lower one being solid and of ample strength and weight and the upper one being fitted with spokes placed in a staggering position. There is an improved method of maintaining the tension on the saw, which is most sensitive. The feed is very powerful, consisting of four feed rolls 5 in. in diameter, strongly geared, continuous and per- fect. The adjustments are made very rapidly and accurately. Altogether this new machine will be found to contain many new mechanical arrangements and conveniences, and the manufacturers will be pleased to furnish any of our readers who may be interested, and will write them, prices and full particulars, and will also forward their large new illustrated 450-page catalogue and colored poster, showing this and other machines they make, free of charge, on application. Arrangements for the erection of the new Pickands, Mather & Co. - blast furnace plant, with coal and ore docks at Toledo, are being hur- ried and it is hoped that some ore may be stocked at the works before the close of the coming season. The works will be located just below the Craig ship yard. The. river frontage is 2,200 ft. The success, or lack of success, of propeller wheels is largely attribut- able to the care, or lack of care, in fitting the conditions of each particular case. Especial attention is given that very important subject by the Marine Iron Works, station A, Chicago, resulting in their being in re- ceipt of many orders for propeller wheels within their range of sizes (18 in. to 6 ft.), and in the speed, cruising or towing patterns, as may be required. 6 Steamer |.
