A Swedish Sawmill—Savenas, Sweden Some eight years ago a party of lumber manufacturers in Sweden came to Canada and established at Nordin, , Rexton, , Richi- bucto, and Head-of-Tide, , a number of sawmilling plants in which they carried out plans which had been carefully laid, for manufacturing Canadian lumber according- to Swedish methods and with Swedish machinery. In a recent issue of the Canada Lumber- man an interesting- article was published describing one of these plants at Nordin, To supplement this article and to give the readers of the Canada Lumberman a good idea of the equipment and methods of a Swedish sawmill, we are pleased in this issue to present illustra- tions of a description of a typical and successful plant in Sweden. The illustrations accompanying this article are of a saw mill situated at Savenas,^Sweden, owned by Savenas Aktiebolag. This mill was built in 1907 by one of the best sawmill architects in Sweden.

The mill is equipped with 12 gang saws installed in two rows and arranged in such a manner that' the second row can be used as stock gangs if this is desired. Each gang, by touching a lever, can be moved in an arc of 30 degrees, thus making- it possible to cut crooked logs without loss of lumber. The equipment includes six edgers, each with two saws, a corresponding number of trimmers are used for trimming boards and in some cases scantlings. All the deals and battens are taken out from the mill without being trimmed.
