. Canadian forest industries 1903. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. November, 1903 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 17 A MODEL PATTERN SHOP. In a paper read before the Milwaukee meet- ing of the American Foundrymen's Association, Joseph Leon Gobeille, discussing the arrange- ment of the best modern pattern shop, said : The building is important; the plant and the placing of the tools more important, and, most important of all, the system of work and man- agement. As it is not easy to describe a build- ing in words, a drawing has been prepared which approaches almost perfectly to all require- ments. It must be light throughoutâno dark centers, as in a square room. It admits of supervision in its entirety from the foremans' table, and is not too wide to permit of doubling up men on a big patternâa matter of some moment on a hurry job. The shop should be a single-story detached building, or, if storage is needed, have the shop on the top floor, plenty of light, good heating by hot-water system, sanitary arrangements and fixtures of the same quality as you would order for your own home. Pure water, ice and the best castile soap should be provided free, and a room set aside and furnished with bandages and other things needed in "first aid" emergency. A 4-inch standpipe should be erected, with a y, to which is connected coils of 2-inch hose for use in case of an incipient blaze. Of course, no fire will be allowed anywhere in the shop; your glue pots will be heated by steam and your artificial light must be electric. Your lumber room is constantly replenished â with air-dried, ready-to-use lumber. This lumber should be stood on end, i. e., the planks racked vertically, turning each end for end every ten days. Now that lumber is so large an item of expense, careful grading will be necessary. While pine is still preferable, even at the price, but maple, poplar and whitewood. 1 1 11 j lira""""~ y
