Machinery and Equipment What Manufacturers of Logging, Sawmill and Woodworking Appliances are Doing A Heavy Band Rip Saw The accompanying illustration shows J. A. Fay & Egan Co's. largest band rip saw, which has a capacity for material 28 in. wide and 14 in. thick. The machine is adapted to reducing large timbers to those of smaller dimensions, ripping wide lumber into strips of varying widths, resawing from the side of timber, etc As shown by the illustration, the column is very heavy, cored, and it is free from vibration. The most important feature on this machine is the manufacturer's patent knife-edge straining device, which enables their No. 109 to run a very thin blade at a great speed without danger of buckling or breaking. The feed is very powerful, consisting of five 8 in. rolls. There are three driven feed rolls in the table. The npper rolls are. will make a feature of wheels for sharpening saws, planer knives, etc., and claim that they have a wheel for this purpose which will grind rapidly without burning the tool. They already have factory arrange- ments well advanced and anticipate commencing to manufacture almost immediately. We understand they have appointed Messrs. J. R. Baxter & Co., of Montreal, as their representatives for the Province of Quebec. An Improvement in Wire Cloth Screens While wire cloth has the advantage over perforated metal for sieving purposes, in many cases the rough or uneven surface of the former has been a great disadvantage. This has been overcome by passing the cloth between heavy rolls to flatten the crowns of the wire. The B. Greening Wire Company, Limited, of Hamilton, Ont, have always done more or less of this work, and lately, finding the demand for same largely increased, they installed rolls' to take care of the demand for medium weight screens. This proved such a success that the firm
