CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 77 Maximum Production, Minumum Cost It has been proven that the capacity of the latest Berlin Matchers is limited only by the ability of feeders to keep them full of stock. At the highest speed yet attained Berlin Match- ers have produced the finest finish and, more than that, they have proven their ability to stand up under the strain. The great problem, then, is how to feed the latest matcher so as to secure maximum production. That question is answered, finally, with the automatic feed- ing table, shown connected to a Berlin Matcher, in the illus- tration. Only with its assistance can the greatest possible production of matched stocks and profile patterns be reached and maintained. Over present average production this auto- matic feeding arrangement will increase output at least 33 1-3 per cent. In many cases more than that. The fine, clean-cut work of the Berlin Matcher saves 30 per cent, in grades. An additional 5 per cent, may be saved with the help of the feeding table, as it allows the feeder time to turn stock for the best face. Production with this matcher unit will cost from 40 to 60 per cent. less than with old type .100 feet per minute machines. The six large feed rolls comprising the feed works Berlin Matchers are the heaviest used on a matcher to- day. And unlike most matchers, the outfeed rolls need never be raised off the stock. An efficient "vacuum cleaner" clears stock of shavings and chips before it pases between the outfeed rolls. This does away with damage to stock face through that source. The best lumber The larg- est mills in the World are equipped with Berlin Matchers

manufactured today is run on Berlin Matchers / The feed rolls are chain driven, reducing the number of gears and pinions on the machine to five. This in itself keeps repair cost down to 50 per cent, of the same expense on other machines. Gravity belt-tighteners on the slack side of all belts cut belt expense enormously. Belts last twice as long under gravity tighteners as they do under the stationary type. Not only that but less power is required with gravity than with rigid tighteners. The automatic feed table is simple and requires very little power to drive. Its design is correct, its feed positive, allow- ing no piling up of lumber going into the feed rolls. It has been tested for several months in Southern, Northern and Western mills. It is offered to progressive millmen as a suc- cessful answer to their demand for a means of securing full benefit of their matchers' capacity and earning power. Those who already have fast feed matchers should take advan- tage of the increased output possible with the automatic feeder. The mills that have not already installed the latest type Berlin Matchers will find additional reason for doing so, in the matcher unit illus- trated on this page. Don't put this matter off any longer. Old machines will be worth less in the spring than they are now, and they are earning less for you every day than a new machine would. Berlin salesmen will gladly make a trip to explain anything to you. They have large photographs that show details you will want to know about. We'll send a man to show you if you say. Do you? You should have the Berlin Matcher Circular. Ask for it The Berlin Machine Works HAMILTON, ONTARIO THE LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF WOODWORKING MACHINERY IN THE WORLD U.S. Plant:—Beloit, Wis.
