REDWOOD DOUGTAS FIR out through the ripenings in the cell r,r,alls ; these openings are so small they canncit be seen through a microscope. As the n'ater is drarvn out of the cell. a vacuum conclition exists u'hich collapses the r.r'alls because there is no air in the cell. The urater must be dravvn out slou,ly enough to allon' air to enter the cell ar-rcl the film of u,ater covering the openin,gs can lte broken.

5. The Australians have developed a process u'ith their rvoods by u'hich, after drving and conditioning, the1. can relieve collapse and bring the ce1l rvalls back into shape by heat and steam.
