The penstocks lead away from this damto the power-house, being controlled by gates operated byhand power, the mechanism being placed on the top of thedam. At one end a spillway is provided for getting rid ofice, logs, etc. The manufacturing process commences when the logsfirst leave the booming ground. At this stage they vary inlength from eight to sixteen feet.
