Years ago, we had a Steam Show at Arcola, IL and they had an old Gaar Scott Sawmill. I ran my Oliver 88 on it several times. Here's what we learned. The drive pulley on the mill was set up diameter wise for a Steam Engine that had a large diameter flywheel. When we put the Oliver on, it had a smaller diameter pulley, thus it would run the blade faster than rated speed. We had an experienced sawyer running the mill. At faster speeds, the blade would vibrate, so I had to throttle back, then as the log would come into the saw, I would lean in on the throttle and give her all she had, then would back off when the blade was empty. As far as moving the saw dust, we used a drag chain off of a cornsheller that was attached to a shaft under the mill and attached to Briggs engine at the top. It worked very well.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
