Machinery for Making Section Boxes. 



There is such a demand for Saws and Mandrels for 

 this purpose, that I have been obliged to have them 

 made expressly for the work. A B C, Part II, con- 

 siders the whole matter. A mandrel, suitable for 

 holding the whole 8 saws at once, must be very 

 strong and heavy, or vou will have much trouble 

 with the bearings getting hot. Such a mandrel, in- 

 cluding 5 in. saws and washers, will cost $27.50. For 

 only 4 saws, a lighter mandrel will do, and the whole 

 rig will cost $16.00, with 4 inch saws. A single saw 

 can be run on the light $5.00 mandrel, and the entire 

 expense will be only $6.50. The latter can be sent 

 by mail, for 70c. extra. Four inch saws, $1.50 each; 

 5 in. $1.75 each. Steel washers accurately ground to 

 go between saws, 50c. each. A. 1. ROOT. 



POCKET RULES. 



Since writing about the importance of each per- 

 son's having a rule of his own, I have written to the 

 manufacturers of rules, and find I can get them, by 

 the quantity, so as to send you a very pretty, 1 foot, 

 boxwood rule, 4 fold, for the small sum of only 12c; 

 and a 2 foot rule, same kind, for onlv '20c.
