Dump

and Tllt

Denair Manufacturing, Inc. is now manufacturing a new gooseneck trailer that allows the operator to both dump and tilt the trailer by remote control from the truck cab. It Provides the versatility of hauling both equipment and bulk commodities with one trailer.

The Roll-on Dump/Tilt Trailer is 20' in length and lets a I ton truck pull a lO-ton payload as a flatbed trailer for hauling equipment, as well as bulk commodities.

It features a movable undercarriage that allows the trailer to dump up to a 45o angle. The dump is controlled by a heavy duty hydraulic system and provides easy unloading for bulk commodities as well as debris and sand.

The undercarriage movement of the tandem axles with dual wheel tires allows the operator to adjust axles for each hauling load and minimize the towing vehicle capacity because the movable axles carry the load. The separate dump position of under-

The Merchant Magazine carriage allows generous clearance between ground and tail of trailer, for easy dumping.

The four tilt positions from the movable undercarriage allow the trailer to tilt for easy loading and unloading of machinery and equipment (uP to 10' wide) from the ground.

The new Roll-on Dump/Tilt Trailer provides 3 transport positions. Operator can select the best position suited for his load to be carried, and its universal action hitch provides stressfree action for flexibility and safe towing.

Massage Action Shower

Alsons Corp. has a "Massage Action" pulsating hand-held shower unit mounted on an adjustable wall bar.

The chrome-plated brass bar mounts easily to bathroom walls. One-piece mounting flanges are adjustable for tile offset.

A slide with a nylon inner sleeve to prevent scratching permits the shower to be positioned anywhere along the two-foot length of the bar. A handsized acrylic knob assures easy adjustment and secure fastening.

The shower head may be removed from the bar slide for hand-held use.

It can be installed on home shower outlets or rub spouts. Its black and chrome design matches any decor.

The shower can be changed from pulsating action to conventional spray by rotating a decorative collar. In the pulsating position it directs a "wetting action" spray that is exclusive to Alsons "Massage Action" showers. Water jets of three different velocities are combined to give maximum wetting action with massaging.

It was shown for the first time at the National Housewares Manufacturers Association convention last month in Chicago.

Lumber Production Analysis

(Continued from page 9 ) mill at Osburn, Id., dropped over 13 million feet and the Dupuis Bros. mill at Polson, Mt., indicated a decrease of more than eleven million feet.

Willamette Industries is number eight in the survey this yearhavingproduced 404 million feet, or 18 million feet less Ihan 1974. The Dallas. Or.. unit sawed 6,300.000 fewer feet than 1974 and Dodson. La.. sliced

8,500,000 off the 1974 pace. All other units showed changes of less than three per cent.

Masonite Corp. is showing up in ninth place this year, but its production pace was 25 million feet less than 1974, or a total of 392,731,000 feet in 1975. Unfortunately, there is no way to make a comparison from year-to-year, but the Cloverdale, Ca., site sawed 88.000.000 feet of lumber while the Calpella unit came in second with 62,000,000 feet. The Hattiesburg, Miss., unit was 3rd larg- est with 5l million feet on the tote board, and the Hoopa, Ca., mill scribed up 48 million feet of production, Remaining production was all in the South.

In the tenth spot this year is St. Regis Paper Co. St. Regis showed a year-to-year increase of 46,250,000 feet and finished out 1975 with 338 million feet. Production at the two Libby, Mt., mills showed a net increase ofl1 million feet. The Tacoma, Wa., and Klickitat, Wa. sites boosted production by one-and-onehalf million feet each. The Whitewood, S.D., unit produced 2,876,OO0 feet last year, a very sizeable increase over 1974's 50,000 feet. Costigan, in Maine, also jumped from 3,952,000 feet in 1974 to 41,650,000' a year later.

Although these comparisons do not make exciting reading, some of the excitement of the business was put into sharper focus by a remark a wholesaler made recently. He was heard to say, "I don't think I have ever seen a lumber market that has behaved more strangely than recently."

But, wasn't he overheard saying that same thing a year ago, or was it the year before that?

Big Windows Save Energy

The National Woodwork Manufacturers Association notes support for the use of larger windows in homes and commercial buildings recently has come from an unexpected source, the Federal Energy Administration. A study by the FEA and the National Bureau of Standards confirms the energy saving potential of windows, affording "official" documentation with which to combat proposals to reduce window areas in homes and commercial buildings.

The report, "Energy Conservation with llindows, " also points out that properly designed, sealed double-glass units can be more effective in saving energy than conventional wall materials. Much of this savings comes because windows can trap and retain the sun's warmth to provide free heat in winter. Unlike a wall, a window is a passive solar collector, and in many instances the solar heat gain can exceed the window's total conductive heat loss for the day, the report states.

In addition to recognizing such important window design considerations as free daylight and improved comfort, the study notes that windows can be effective energy savers and gainers. The most effective devices to reduce heating and cooling costs in homes are properly designed and positioned windows, according to the study. It stated that "contrary to popular belief, houses with large windows may not consume more energy than houses with small windows."
