Safety Door Opener

Newly engineered and completely redesigned Door Valet automatic garage door operators' newly-developed instant-reversing safety device has been approved for both standard and deluxe models.

The device causes a downward traveling garage door to instantly and automatically reverse into upward travel when downward travel might be impeded by an object of any significant size.

The new models will also operate at I 5% slower speeds than predecessor models. This factor puts added safety into the instant-reversing device and also results in quieter and more power- ful automatic garage door operator performance.

Appearance-wise, the new Door Valet models will have more aerodynamic styling and shielded indirect lighting.

Design of the new models emphasized componentization so that they will be "do-it-yourself" installable by home owners in less than two hours.

Real Log Homes

The log cabin, once a familiar symbol of the America:r frontier, is making a comeback, and a newly located ildustry in L{issonla, Mt. expects to play a big role in its renaissalce.

Real Log Homes, Inc. sister plaut to Vermont Log Buildhgs, Inc. and Carolina Log Buildings, Inc. has purchased a 20 acre site west of Missoula and is constructing a model home and a plant that will manufactrtre pre-cut and firfstred lodge pole pine logs for the construction of log buildilgs.

The new plart is scheduled to be in lirnited production by March with fuil production expected by June. The piart will be capable of ploducilg 400 homes per yec-r, maximum employrnent is expected to be 35 persons.

The basic model building is 16' by 32', wttl' several variatious ilchtding a full second story and two bedroom wirg. Other models are 24' by 32', with all models offering traditionally designed exteriors and modenr floor plals. The timbers in the walls are cut from logs thatrange in diameter from 8-1 1". Each log is flat top ald bottom and grooved to receive a hardboard splile. Two polyurethale gaskets are applied, o1le or1 each side of the splile. When the next log is placed, the groove il the bottom fits snugly onto the spiine restirg in the groove il the top of the 1og below, formi:rg an air tight seal. Mortised and tenoned comers and 10" steel spikes provide additiottttl strength to an already sturdy construction technique.

The plartt will also produce other pre-cut log buildings such as motels, ski lodges, restaurants, and utility buildilgs.
