THE MACHINERY WORLD What Manufacturers of Logging, Sawmill and Woodworking Equipment are Doing An Ingeniously Devised Edger. The accompanying cut illustrates the Tower 32-inch planing mill edger, manufactured hy the Gordon Hollow Blast (irate Company, of Greenville, Mich., who make the Gordon hollow blast grate and the Tower line of edgers and trimmers. While the rear tahle is not shown, it will be understood that it is included. The saws are shifted by means of racks and pinions actuated by hand-wheels. The pinions are made large, so as to make the saws exceedingly responsive. The company state that one-twenty-fourth of a revolution of the hand-wheel suffices to move the saw one inch. The racks are so located and encased that the company assert they cannot become clogged with sawdust or dirt. They. Tower 32 inch Planing Mill Edger. also claim that there is no lost motion in the shifting mechanism, which therefore guarantees accurate work. All of the pulleys, etc., are on one side (whichever may be speci- fied in ordering). The bridge-tree on the other side is removable, to give quick access to the saws without the necessity of disturbing the arbor. The movable guide, the company claim, is the simplest and most ac- curate yet devised. The edger is made either with or without a front pressure roll, as may be desired. This roll is hung so as to be as effective as possible. Tt requires no lever to raise it, and hides the saws very little. The machine is provided with ingeniously designed double-feed works. To start, stop or change the fced. the company say that all that is neces- sary is to slip a collar over the feed shaft. Further particulars can be obtained from the company A Useful Wood-working* Machine. The Goldie & McCulloeh Company, Limited, of Gait, Ont., have re- cently added to their iist of wood working machines one that should
