Paul you may be looking for a bit to find that reference, can I assure you I wrote it last night before I went to bed, the pictures are from a 1893 J.A.Fay catalog I have, with the exception of the Columbian Fair which is a separate photo I also have.
And as for looking like an "idiot" this is simply not the case, all of us are always looking, learning, searching and discovering this is what we do.
It is only the Idiot's that stop and say they know it all...
In any case I enjoy our posting and our banter together.
Early Barker machinery were painted Charcoal or very dark Grey, I would say that paint may even be Red lead or something, not sure...
Cheers.
Melbourne Matty.

This photo is also similar but different to your catalogue picture ...
It is at Glossary Bandsaw
and says "A weighted lever (shown on the left of the image, at the rear of the machine) is designed to compensate for the blade's expansion or contraction as it rotates through workpieces."

It is maddening not to find something that you have found only a week or so before - and would normally copy and keep on the harddisk -
This is again similar to, but not, what I am looking for -
The illustrated history of the Centennial Exhibition ...

Nope - the madness is over - I'm sure I was wrong/confused - which is somewhat reassuring cos it is my natural state of being.
I think I was conflating (at least) two sources ...
The Centennial Exposition Described and Illustrated which I linked to before, and Reports of the United States Commissioners to the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris
Reports of the United States Commissioners to the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris. (Open Library)
xx not this one - wrong volume xx
Reports of the United States Commissioners to the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris - Volume 3
Web view
Oh well ... it's all interesting
(luckily)
Cheers,
Paul.
