Behind the Resaw — Wayagamack Mills well as the trimmer and sorting shed which adjoin the mill, arc built entirely of selected fir, the framework being covered completely with corrugated iron sheeting. The roofs of the three buildings arc- also of corrugated iron, that of the main building being fitted its entire length with wire glass skylights so that the mill floor will receive an abundance of light in in overhead. Numerous large win- dows on every side also aid in lighting the mill, with the result that there is not a dark corner to be found in the building. What impresses cue mo>t upon a casual survey is the amount of space and freedom from cramping that is evident. This is due entirely to the excellent arrangement of the equipment and the large amount of head room that has been allowed in the construction of the mill. The uprights throughout the main building are selected 12 in. x 12 in. timbers, each set on an individual concrete pier which is iron faced to receive it. The rest of the timbering is proportionately heavy and the effect is one of great solidity, strength and perman- ence. In the main building, as in the rest of the mill, much thought has been given to the arrangement of the equipment in order to se- cure economy in operating space and to reduce the time of handling the stock being cut. This has permitted the elimination of several machines generally considered indispensible in a plant of this size and the substitution of machines of smaller capacity than would be considered necessary under usual conditions and with the old Style of mill arrangement. The logs entering the mill are handled by adequate log deck equipment, including two double arm 10-in. log flippers, two 10-in. log loaders, and two 8-in. x 10-in. x 60-in. stationary steam niggers. From this log deck, the logs are sent either to the right
