division, another employee,
Don Cooper, and myself were
givena tour of the saw mill, We

-were to note-how bad logs af-

fected production and what logs
are nol acceptable , for
manufacttire. .

But: there were many things

worthy of note. remember the
mill ag it was built after the fire

= was it 1960? Then there was a

head rig, an edger and an
oscilatting gang: saw. Now
there is a fascintaling array of

‘machines;: most of them:
mysterious to anyone but a mill

man.’ I was impressed by the
circular saw gang, It reduces
ans" by 18” cant into 2 by 43 in

a matter of seconds. And the”

‘head rig’, ‘There are no slabs
coming from the- head rig now.
There is a- chipper head

-mounted in front of the head
saw that takes the slub off inthe

form of chips, But that’s not all
tha head saw can be taking off a,
éne or two inch board on the,
same cut, Sa you get a slab -
pardon - ‘chipped slab- and a
board with the same cul.

All of which transfers a lot of
energy from. the chipper-head
‘saw to the log.-In this transfer
noise is created, terrific noise,
Now the head sawyer’s com-

the chipper-head. And so well

being constructed, -

- The lwo most recent additions

are a_new chip car shed and a
scavenging chipper, both of
which are being installed for
environmental reasons,

‘The chip car shed will. cost

near $100,000 and it’s sole

mills management. It's chief
function will he to remove that
burr from the blanket - that pile
of kiln dried mijlends that has
been trucked to the ‘old Weber

Apparently, a’ chipper that
will handle this kiln dried stuff
is damned hard to find. “Green
hemlock chips very nice, but
drying in the kilm makes il iron
