Subject: [OldTools] Barnes Saws

Hello,

I am trying to find out more about a company I believe to be the W O Barnes 
Co Inc of possibly Detroit, Michigan.  Barnes made saws of various types and 
eventually became a part of Nicholson, prior to Nicholson's purchase by Cooper

Tools.  I'm not sure if Atkins bought Barnes and then Nicholson bought Atkins,

or if Nicholson bought them both.  

Does anyone know anything about Barnes?  When they started?  When they ended?

 Where they were located?  What saw products they made?  Where I can find any

information on them?

Thanks,

Eric the Simonds guy
