"The Evolution of Modern Band Saw Mills for Sawing Logs" by D. Clint Prescott is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1910s. This book details the advancements in band saw mill technology from the late 19th century, emphasizing the innovative efforts made by machinery builders in the United States to create efficient sawmill operations. The author aims to highlight the transition from early saw milling techniques to the development of modern band saw mills, focusing on their ability to more effectively convert logs into lumber. In this detailed examination, Prescott recounts the history of various saw mill machines, discussing their successes and failures in meeting the demands of lumbermen. He presents the challenges faced by early band saw mills, such as producing crooked lumber and increased saw wear, and how these issues were systematically addressed through mechanical innovations. Highlighting the work of notable figures and companies in the industry, Prescott ultimately presents his patents and improvements that revolutionized band saw mills, paving the way for the successful implementations still in use at the time of writing. The book serves as both a historical account and a technical guide, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in sawmill engineering and lumber production.
