Scope and content
Globe Machine Company was working with Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company to develop a log barker. The log barker would remove the bark using compression and shearing action, leaving the log free from bark without cutting into the outer sapwood. The machine would have rotating wheels that would guide the logs through and the de-barking was taking place. With this new machine, average de-barking time for an 8 foot long, 40 inch diameter log would be: one and three quarter minutes long. Interior view of plant with de-barking machine (T. Times, 12/15/47, p. 10).
