According to Don Lloyd, vice president and marketing manager of the firm, distribution of Metra Cut will be handled through exclusive distributors, initially on the Pacific Coast. Present distributors are located in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but total national distribution of the machine is contemplated by the end of 1965. Because of its ability to measure and cut lumber to any length and angle automatically, Metra Cut permits total time savings of from one-third to two-thirds on a given job, Lloyd stated. "The Metra Cut Mobile Speed Shop is the only unit of its kind on the market," he said.

"By using Metra Cut, builders can facilitate on - site fabrication of all framing componentsr" Lloyd continued, "thus providing lower costs and better control of quality and delivery by the builder himself."

As an example of the time and Iabor savings provided by Metra Cut, Lloyd pointed out thaL the machine can cut a rafter complete with a seat cut in 15 seconds or less. Heart of the machine is the patented Metra Cut precision measuring device which allows accurate, positive alignment for every cut.
