The latest developments in kiln and lumber handling facilities have been installed in connection with the nerv manufacturing plant of Simpson Logging Co., Arcata, California.

The battery of kilns consists of five Moore Cross-Circulation double track double-ended units, each 34 feet u-ide. These kilns are provided with large diameter fans, steel finned pipe, automatic ventilator and spray control, also 2-end heat control and auxiliary ventilators for handling high moisture content Redwood lumber. Interesting and practical features of these modern kilns are- l. Two-speed moto.rs with automatic fan reversal are employed. These permit the operator to predetermine the time of reversal and remove the human element of error in reversing the fans manually at definite intervals. The trvospeed motors permit the use of the "high," or fast speed, when high circulation rate is required and then change to a lower circulation rate, or lower speed, after the stock has been partially dried. This saves electric power u'ithout change in drying time.

2. Special rvaterproof interior kiln lights have iteen installed to facilitate the loading and unloading of the kilns at any tirre during the day or night.

3. The dry kiln rails have been placed on concrete ribbons to insure a permanent and straight rolling surface for the kiln trucks.

The dry kiln buildings are constructed of three layers of 2x6 T &G Redwood for both side walls and roof rvith welded steel trrlsses and steel center posts. These support the overhead kiln equiDment and roof.
