The drive wheel is also mounted upon this sleigh, and is direct- ly attached to the engine. A steel cable is made Fast at each endof thelogging road, along which the haul is made. This cable lies along the middle of the road, passes up under the sleigh and is coiled four times around the drive wheel. When this wheel is set in motion by the engine, the slack in the cable ahead of the power. It requires eight horse-power to move the machine, all fueled and watered to run, thus leaving twenty-seven horse-power for the load. For skidding, the engine is made stationary, and the cable is converted into a live cable by passing it about a system of up- right rollers, stationed at the angles. This cable is carried about in the woods where the logs have been cut. By means of a clamp, the short chain, which is attached to the log, is fastened to this live cable and dragged to the skidway.
