Coal Saw Replaces Drills (Jun, 1934)
That’s a big chainsaw.
Coal Saw Replaces Drills
OLD style drilling methods are outmoded by a “walking” coal saw with teeth several inches long mounted on a rapidly moving belt. Hydraulic pistons “walk” the machine forward.
When I first read the headline, I momentarily thought they meant the saw was powered by coal, rather than used to mine coal.
So, did anyone ever build a coal-fired coal saw, or would that be an insanely horrid fire hazard?

Right up there with the gas television.
When I first read the headline, I momentarily thought it said “Cole Slaw Replaces Drill.”
I’ve got to stop drinking while surfing the web.
Jphn@3: That could be a family motto.
But I think “Cole Slaw Replaces Dill” would work at my local deli. Maybe that’s why Charlie picked it (family business.)
As far as I know, they still use things like this. Well, they did when Incredible Cross-Sections was made, at any rate.
