Electrically Driven Individual Machines The Canadian Western Lumber Company is the only big concern in Caanda operating the full equipment of planers, moulders, sizers and fans with electric power furnished by direct-connected motors. Two 2i- inch conduits carrying six 350,000 circular mill cables reach from the power house, a distance of 600 feet, to the green lumber sizers and ship- lap machines on the sorting table.
