It stands upon two carts; we can therefore, in a short time, move it from one place to another. My wife has three machines, one for weaving, one for sewing, and one for knitting. These are very handy for accomplishing work. I also own part in a saw mill driven by steam... it can saw from twelve to fourteen thousand feet of lumber per twenty-four hours.
