Scope and content
On spec. for the Times, Labor Day. Interior view of the St. Regis Paper Company. From the woodroom chunks of wood were moved to wood chippers where they were broken into fine chips. These went into a hopper in the top of a digester where the chips were broken down by chemicals and the resulting pulp was washed and bleached, looking much like white snow. The paper would be nearly all water at this part of the process. It was sprayed in a thin sheet on screens where it was gradually dried out over a long roller.
