So CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER hence into the automatic dryer and after being" crated are ready for shipment. Mahogany, after being steamed, is taken to a slicer, where it is cut into veneer. The machine is very substantially built, the logs be- ing held by' dogs, and the knife automatically brought into contact with the lumber. The veneers then go to the dryer, which consists of a series of layers made of chain, and the veneer is fed through this until it comes out at the other end, meanwhile receiving treatment by hot air fanned into the machine. The filing room is on the top floor and very well equipped with the most modern machinery by experts. There are two sample rooms, where are kept over one million feet of veneer in stock. Each log is carefully tagged and tallied. From every log three samples are furnished to the traveller, each sample be- ing hinged into lengths, and these are so arranged as to fold into trunks. The company supply a special filtration system for drinking wa- ter and also a luncheon room. There is a telephone system right through the building. The W'aterous Engine Works Company, Limited, Brantford, Ont., supplied the sawmill machinery, band saw, edgers, engine of 250 horse-power and boilers of the Dutch oven type; the Capital Machin- ery Company, of Indianapolis, the slicer, rotary, and veneer saws; the Simonds Canada Saw Company, Limited, the other saws; the Can- adian Fairbanks-Morse Company, Limited, Montreal, the trucks; and the Philadelphia Textile Company, the dryer. Building and specifications were designed by E. & W. S. Maxwell, architects, Montreal; while F. J. Jago & Company were the contrac- tors for the reinforced concrete; McGregor, Reed & McGregor, the brick work; Hickey & Aubut, the steam fitting.
