I worked many winters in the state forests cutting shingle bolts to be cut into shingles on just that type of machine, made By Chase of Orange, Mass. It was cool to watch the shingles made but it sure took a lot of bolts to make a square of shingles! A bolt was a 16 or 18 inch long section of white pine anywhere between 4 and 12 inches in diameter and stood on end in the machine when cut into shingles. White pine made good shingles when treated and would last 35 years or more on a roof. We always cut in young pine stands during the winter months when the pine pitch was frozen, thinning the trees and skidding the downed trees out with an Oliver OC-3. The only thing I disliked about the job was cutting in the thick stands of trees..... I never saw the sunlight so it was cold if you goofed off long!.
