Someone asked for more sawmill - the earliest water powered sawmills, including this one, used “up-and-down saws.” Powered by gears and some accessory parts belts driven by water power, the saw was set up to move up and down as it sawed through a log pushed to it by other water-driven machinery - This sawmill @oldsturbridgevillage is In Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
