Trying to ID saw mill

[Atlantic Trader]

A friend was telling me about a rotary mill he bought many years ago in Ohio or Penn I believe. iam trying to find out who made this mill. He resold it and cant remember the name?

He said it a rotary with a 36" and it had a 16-20 ft carriage and it had the blade fixed in the middle with the carriage with a slot that passed on either side of the blade? Oh yes and it was portable on a trailer axle factory built.

Any idea what this may be?

The Jackson portable run on bearings instead of a set of tracks.  I ran one for a good number of years.  Meadows also makes portable circle mills.

Ron, is that ride on the carriage Jackson hard on the sawyers back, don't you have to reach over to turn and dog the logs and cants.?? Frank C.
