The feed is driven independently from below, having two speeds forward and one reverse. â ,â Behind the edger is a line of rolls m three sections extending to the tail end of mill, with transfers to the gang and resaw. The main line of live rolls also has transfers to gang and resaw. rlhe slasher has 24 saws, spaced 12VA-inch centres, to cut all slabs and edgings into 12-inch stove wood, and is driven by a 50 motor direct con- nected to the saw arbor, with a flexible coupling. The chains are driven by friction and gears, belted 'from saw arbor. The wood falls from the slasher into a conveyor and is distributed automatically into 17 wood bins, each holding a good waggon load. The gang is a 10-inch x 32-inch pony, Wickes Bros, make, and feeds towards the head end of the mill, the lumber falling onto the transfer to trimmers without any handling.
