Good shingle machines are the rule where the timber supply is sufficient to justify large operations. In many sections, however, a mill is indispensable, although the timber may be scarce and costly, and in just such places the best machine should be used, for the very obvious teason that its adoption may transform an otherwise losing enterprise into a profitable one. The machine here illustrated, which is manufactured by Madison Williams, successor to Paxton, Tate & Co., Port Perry, Ont., is claimed by the manufacturer to rank with the best machines ever built. The following partic- ulars regarding its construction, furnished by Mr. Williams, are among the strong points which, in his. weight. The carriage bearings are brass, and are dove- tailed to fit the track, which it cannot jump. The result is the perfection of uniformity in the thickness of shingles. The tilt works are heavy, unspringable, and can be set to a hair's breadth by any sawyer after ten minutes' ex- perience with the machine. The saw flange centres the saw to a nicety, is in absolute balance and remains that way. The drop lever regulates the thickness of the shingle without disturbing the taper adjustment. Any one of six screws performs the function that in less com- plete machines required from four to six. The machine in its entirely presents an appearance of compactness, ease of control, and of possessing the elements of speed and ac- curacy, which are the essentials of shingle manufacturing on a paying basis. Readers of the Lumberman who have not had the satisfaction of making shingles with the highest class of machines, and who would like to improve the volume and quality of their output, will do well to communicate with Mr. Williams.
