Top Picture — Alfred West- gate, with , pikepole, spears a sawlog in the millpond that not only carries the logs to the sawmill, but provides the power to saw them. Direct waterpower from a turbine in the mill race operates the car- riage that carries the log, as well as driving the saw. Upper Left — Roy Schwalm takes a turn on the main con- trol wheel that regulates the flow of water through the tur- bine, and so directly controls the flow of power to the mill machinery. The main gear on the main drive -shaft from the turbine is not steel, but wood —selected hard maple, which meshes with a steel cogwheel. With the ,flow of the stream underneath providing all the power for both saw and saw - carriage, the saw -teeth eat their way through tough rock elm. Upper Right—The mill has no further source of power, and is not served by hydro, steam engine, gasoline engine or diesel. The mill, left, hat operated almost every year for more than century. First built by Paul Bell, pioneer grandfather of the present owner, it was onee a short distance farther upstream; was moved to its present site. 70 years ago.
