New Sorting Chain Instcrlled At Ios Angeles Ycrd

Baugh Brothers & Co., Los Angeles, recently completed construction of a 60-foot sbrting ,chain with space for 17 set-ups, using both sides of the chain. The chain is so constructed that lumber may be moved by lift truck, through arrangement of rail system from the chain, which does not require operations to stop while lumber is waiting to be moved, for the second pile can be placed under way at each spot without delay.

Power for the chain is supplied through a Boston Gear Company's Ratiomotor, which eliminates complicated shafting, belts, etc., by affording a sealed unit.
