Item 2223

Dictation at Spencer MacCallum’s request concerning the history of a small saw found in a drawer at Roadsend Gardens, Elkridge, Maryland

July, 1956

This is nothing but a little thin, circular saw with fine teeth that you can buy in any hardware store. But I mounted it between two brass disks loosely so that it could be pushed along over a drawing to make fine perfora­tions on the paper below. I used it as a tracing wheel. I’m not sure whether I used this on propeller drawings or not, but probably did.
