In the 1920’s, the Taylor revolving Clamp Carrier was developed and patented. It was a major first step toward mass production for the entire wood industry. The rest, as they say, is history. The James L Taylor Mfg Co has accumulated 7 Challengers Awards for innovations and contributions of machinery to the wood industry
