From the National Register.
THE BELT SAW.

The editor of the Register was invited
a few days since, to see the newly invent.
ed Belt Strap San, in operation; and, al.
though very little acquainted with ma
chinery in general, he could not help be.
lieving that a great desideratum was OBJ
tanned by this application of power.
The chief objections TO the common up
right saw, worked by crank, we are told
are as follows say that it makes 100
strokes per minute, Of from Is 10 "a inch
es long-the log is pushed to the saw by
means of feed arm acting upon a rag
wheel, put in motion by the return stroke
of the saw gate. If the log is large, ii
requires but little feed the ratchet is then
often missed aud the saw does nothing, OF
next to nothing, major part of the time
and that the teeth of this saw are much
more injured by tie up stroke, than by the
cutting or down stroke, by reason of the
saw dust, sand, &c. that remains in the
cut Of the log, the upper part of the tooth
being oftentimes found to be rounded or
rubbed off. when the lower part is very
little injured. The up-stroke also has a
tendency to destroy the set of the saw.
1t is further represented to be among the
disadvantages attending such saws, in the
great length required for the connecting
rods, or pitmen--the carriage way being
necessarily rs feet from the crank, or else
the saw will move badly and jar very
much, as the dead centre of the crank is
passed to remove which defect, it is said,
no method has ever yet been discovered.
The best remedy for it is in extending the
distance between the crank and the saw
and the cost, difficulty and extra labour
required either to dig down for the pur-
pose, or raise up the logs on a carriage
way, elevated above the common surface
of the adjacent earth, are well known to
every body.
The Belt Saw is free from all those
disadvantages-as it is always revolving
and always cutting at regular rate, the
log is always pressed against it 10 rega-
lar manner, and the work goes on without
any stoppage, jar, or impeachment whatso-
ever. Thus, it is estimated that this saw

sharpening, as the common saw will. The
comparative force of these saws, we are
told, may be calculated thus: the saw
moved by crank may make 100 strokes
IL feet long, per minute-of course zoe
