Belt-driven (from over-head shaft) multiple blade vertical action rip saw, for converting whole tree trunks into planks in one pass.

Large bench circular "rip" saw, driven by belts from overhead line shafts. It was built by Robinson & Son Ltd of Rochdale, England. Used, as shown in the set-up here, for turning tree trunks into planks, one plank for each pass of the bed past the saw blade. (Several "faults" with this display :- The blade is very rusty so hasn't been used for a long time, and is far too small for this log, also the guard is placed too far down. Probably never had a riving knife in operational days, compared to modern sawmill practices ...)
