Improvement in head-blocks of saw-mills
|
Cornelius Meiners |
Indianapolis, IN |
The book "The American Cane Mill" mentions that Brennan & Co. "manufactured Meiner's head blocks" in addition to cane mills. At the 1883 Indiana State Agricultural Fair: Sinker, Davis & Co. exhibited "a set of Meiner head-blocks for saw-mills. These are so well and favorably known to saw-mill men as to need no description. In connection with these head-blocks is the Morse dog, which is a valuable addition to them." |

Portable bandsaw mill
|
Henry W. Groves |
Indianapolis, IN |
D. C. Prescott's 1910 monograph, "The Evolution of Modern Band Saw Mills for Sawing Logs", says, "...Next, we have the celebrated Gold Dust Mill built by Sinker-Davis Co. of Indianapolis, Ind. They were advertising this mill in the Southern Lumberman as early as 1884 and were building band mills for some time previous. Their improved mill of 1885 is here shown, wood rims with rubber faces composed the wheels, and their market was the middle section of the country but never in the mills of the northwest." |
