These rip saws were devised by the millwright of the company and dilifer from the others in the fact that regardless of the widths of the rough boards, the ripping is all done in one operation. There are two''receivers to one feeder, as the wide boards multiply quickly on this rip saw. The receivers then place behind the fast matchers the strips according to their widths. There are two fast P. B. Yates No. 87 hardwood matchers running continually making flooring. I'he flooring drops on a table alongside the trimmers after which it goes to the two upright end matchers. When the material is end matched, it is fed through an American Machine Co.'s flooring scraper, making it of uniform thickness. In case one of the machines might have changed its settings, an inspector watches for any change in settings or other defects which might pass the operators. When the flooring is released from the scraper it is trucked away to the grading room, adjoining the large flooring shed. The grading room is equipped with a homemade devise which automatically figures out the footage in each bundle without any possibility of error. This device has saved two men in the grading room and besides several hours' work in the accountant's office. Each bundle is stamped as to the grade and footage. On the ground floor of the main building is situated the mould-. ing department, which comprises four stickers, P. B. Yates and C. machines.
