CENTRAT CATIFOR,NIA DRY KIIN CIUB Minutes of JulY 18 Meeting

The third regular meeting of the Central California,Dry Kiln Club was-held on July 18 at the Scott Lumber Company, Burney, California. Thirty-six members and friends itt.ttded the-one-day meeting arranged by F. D. "Doc" Grubb, kiln superintendent of the host company.

The morning was devoted to a show-me trip through the Scott Lumber Company operation. Of particular interest to club members were the lumber-handling and drying operations, including both yard drying and kiln drying. There are 8 single-trick Moore kilns with a holding capacity of over 300M board feet.

Scott Lumber Company has resorted to double-coursing the bottom two courses of. 4l4lumber to prevent breakage of lumber and the loss of stickers from the unit packages during handling with fork lifts and carriers. Wet lumber is repbrted in these courses. Extra stickgr,s at the bearing poinis of the chisels of the lift-truck should overcome these difficulties. Of general interest were the new Nicholson logdebarker and automatic carriage.

The Scott Lumber Company was host at the luncheon meeting held at the Shasta Tavern. Vice-President Ray Hampsin of the R. L. Smith Wildwood operation presided at the business meeting and technical meetings that followed.
