All shafts and counter-shafts are in the basement underneath thecarpenter shop, and all belts come up from below directly to themachines which they drive, thus doing away with the inconveni-ence of having belting in the way when handling timbers. Thesemachines are driven by two 25-hp motors, one-half of the ma-chinery being entirely independent of the other, so that in caseof repairs or break-down, one-half of the shop can be run inde-pendently of the other half. Special attention is given to cleanliness and keeping the shop.
