Capt Courtney Surveyor Lloyds and several of the
prominent ship builders speak of it, operation in the
highest terms the machine having been already put in
uccesfu operation in Of the principal ship yards in
the vicinity OF London.
Messrs Wipam Il Son have the present moment four

required for ship building
Me.srs Fox Henderson Co.. ma,hinsts at London,
in circular to the public offer to build these mills for
both siding and shaping 6l timbers OF ordinary sizes and
guaranteed TO cut twenty futtocks per day
The machine certainly merits close attention from al
parties interested in this great feature OF national
