You mentioned above "these North American machines" and that got me thinking ... were you meaning that New Record was an American company or were you talking about the concept of automated saws generally??
G'day Geoff
I did everything wrong in that 'cursory' search and jumped to wild conclusions.
I spent a bit of time tonight and I think I can clarify things.
And I think I have the maker and address ...
They were made by the
New Record Machinery Companyof West Melbourne.
I agree, The
New Record was an AUS machine.
Note how Rosebery and Buzacott sort of 'disguise' the maker by
silence.
Hope this helps.----------------------------------
