Mershon & Company, of Saginaw, Mich., for the Firstbrook Box Company, Limited, of Penetanguishene, Ont. It is described by the makers as a band resaw-gang, and is intend- ed for resawing thick planks or flitches into. A Band Resaw-Gang. five boards of equal thickness, the machine having four blades. The saw mill in which it is to be installed manufactures exclusivelybox material from short logs, second growth pine, etc. The equipment in this saw mill is unique and consists of the following : What was originally a twin circular rig made by the Rodgers Iron Works, of Muskegon, Mich., the round logs being placed on a spiked chain and carried past the saws by said chain, the logs being prevented from turning by spiked press rolls resting on the top thereof. This machine is used, supplied with one circular saw only, thus delivering the logs flatted on one side. These are then placed upon a travelling bed and carried by a Saginaw style F pony band mill, the second side flatted, the cants resulting being 5 inches in thickness with two parallel planed faces. These flatted cants, as well as the slab remaining, are then fed through the band resaw-gang and the cants converted into five one-inch boards and the slabs and waney portions made into as many boards as the thickness will yield. The band resaw-gang is very well suited for this work, and the following description may be of interest to our r
