Portland, Oregon, January 8th, 1903. Zimmerman - Wells Machinery Co., Portland, Oregon. Gentlemen, In reference to your in- quiry regarding the workings of the Ray Patent Steam Feed purchased from you about eighteen months ago, we have this to say regarding the feed, that it certainly is not only the best feed that we have ever used, but undoubtedly has no equal to-day on the Pacific Coast. We have dropped as high as twelve 14-ft. 1" boards in one minute. In doing this, the car- riage would have to travel about 650 feet and stop and start twenty-four times in one minute. The weight of the carriage, head blocks, and log would be about ten tons. This would give you a pretty good idea of the Power exerted by the feed in hand- ling a load of that size at such a velocity. We have run this feed night and day since we have had it, continually, and the same ropes are still in service that were put on when the feed was mounted. Everything about the feed seems to be in as good condi- tion to-day as the day we got it. We would not take it out and put back our old feed for ten times the cost of the new one. You will see that we are more than pleased with it. Yours truly, InmanPoulsen & Co. Flam Tales irom the finis datcmt *;Jl"l TWIN ENGINE STEAM FEED With Drum for Wire Rope or Rack and Pinion.
