| Description: |  | "My invention relates to that class of sawmills known as 'band-mills,' and is an improvement upon the mill shown and described in my prior application, Serial No. 207,142, filed July 3 1886. The object of the present invention is to provide a more sensitive device for adjusting the upper band-wheel, whereby any slight slack in the saw is quickly taken up, so that the latter will be kept taut constantly." We have not found a patent corresponding to the referenced application. |  |
