■NO FRICTION TROUBLES ON "BERLIN" RESAWS— v 



A Belt-and-Pulley Device that Gives More 

 than Twice the Power of a Friction 



Three Horse-Power With a Friction 



On resaws carrying a 6 inch blade or wider, a friction 

 device does not give the required power. It has been 

 proven that such a method will produce three horse- 

 power — but no more. Think of trying to pull a heavy 

 timber through a resaw with only three horse-power ; 



Seven Horse-Power with "Berlin" Method 



There is just one way of transmitting sufficient power — 

 plain belts over ordinary pulleys. That way is "Berlin" 

 way, and the above illustration shows it all very plainly. 

 The belts shift instantly from one incline-step cone to 

 another. This method on actual test produced over 

 seven horse-power. 



A Few Details 



Those flange pulleys with their belts and tighteners, 

 furnish a very fast or very slow speed. This places a 

 wide range of feed under instant control of the operator. 



To illustrate, raising that horizontal lever at the extreme 

 right, gives a very slow feed — throwing it down gives a 

 fast feed. This provides eight speeds of feed^the 

 highest 1 35 feet per minute greater than the lowest. 

 All belts are provided with tighteners to take up the 

 slack so that endless belts may be used. The shafts run 

 in ordinary babbitted boxes which are easily renewed.
