Interior of No. 1 Lumber Shed -Estate James Davidson Plant, Ottawa. Main Corridor—Estate James Davidson Plant, Ottawa discharged into an overhead system of galvanized iron piping, carried in each wing of the building. The most important feature of this system is that all of the heating surface is massed in a single casing placed entirely outside the building, and a forced circulation of warm air is secured through an extended system of overhead piping with its downward discharging pipes. In the "L" on the main floor are located the heating and glue rooms. These are equipped with more than the ordinary amount of steam heated pipes, warmth being a requisite for successful glue work, of which much is done in the production of fine veneered material. The Planing Mill The equipment of the planing mill consists of one No. 90 Berlin Fast Feed Planer and Matcher with complete equipment of profiling attachments, and one special hardwood flooring machine made by Hoyt & Brother, Aurora, 111. Connected with this machine is a self- operating cross-cut saw and an end matcher. In this department are also a large re-saw made by the \\ . 1!. Mershon Company, Saginaw. Mich.; an S. A. Wood double surfacer, as well as a Gregor-Gourlay gang-rip saw, two Berlin Machine Works Stickers, dowel pin ma- chine and two power feed rip saws for ripping the moulding for the stickers. All the moulding comes uncut from the kiln to the power feed saws. This does away with any additional handling whatever, as the operators take the lumber from the cars as they are wheeled out of the kiln, thus saving a large amount of work every day that would otherwise be necessary. All lumber for the department is sorted un- der cover or in the mill proper. Lumber coming up for the kilns is loaded direcljy off the sleighs or wagons on to the cars or in t
