Notes:

  1. All saw types here been rearranged into saw number order.
  2. "1900" 1900-Atkins-Catalog
  3. These two catalogs seem to be identical
    1. Atkins Catalog No 18 1919
    2. "1923" Atkins Catalog No 19 1923
  4. "1914" EC Atkins Catalog 1914
  5. These catalogs have two, or more entries for identical saw data. The data is in two columns, Left and Right, so I separated out the two saw number series. The two sets "A" and "B" appear to be identical.
