CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 47 Addition to Fay & Egan Matcher A logical development in the economical manufacture of lum- ber recently brought out by J. A. Fay & Egan Co. of Cincinnati, is a horizontal band resaw built on the end of their highly successful 333 Matcher so that bevel siding, ceiling, ship lap, etc., may be matched double thick and then resavved without further handling. By the old method this class of work was put through the matcher at 75 feet per minute, then trucked to the resaw and put through at the same rate. This required the service of two feeders and two off-bearers. By the new method the same work can be done at 200 feet per minute with one feeder and one off-bearer. The resaw is entirely below the bed line of the matcher, elim- inating dangerous overhead rigging entirely and making it very easy to change blades or take off blade when matcher only is to be used—in fact, this arrangement gives easy accessibility to the entire mechanism. Compared with the old methods this new matcher-resaw will reduce manufacturing costs to a wonderfully low figure. The installation can be used as a single unit, or the matcher may be used without the resaw. This installation is exciting not a little comment where it is already running.

Few operators pay enough attention to these facts, and continually adjust rolls to the disadvantage of good work. With an even tension on springs, and a perfect alignment, with a graduated adjustment of rolls, to allow for the cut which the sand paper takes off, on modern machines produces the best results. Much depends on the coverings of
