Excerpt from Proceedings: October December, 1916 Where stationary engines are used, British engines show up well, but an engine made in the country copied from the Sulzer (swiss) make is seen occasionally. Fixed boilers of Babcock and Wilcox manufacture, together with its German copy, are mostly used. Steam traction-engines for hauling trees down, where the exploiting is combined with clearing, completes the list of the general run of machinery required. In the case of these latter engines the Americans were unsuccessful in their introduction of a new article, the centre of gravity being too high, and the tendency was to fall over rather than to travel in a vertical position. Inserted tooth saw-blades, although wasteful in saw-dust, are beginning to be fully appreciated by saw-mill men.
