Scope and content
Plywood veneer production at the Bellingham Plywood Company. After the veneer is cut from the peeler log and the moisture content is regulated, the veneer is again graded. At the glue spreader, the cross-banding veneer is covered with an even coat of glue and sheets are assembled with alternate dry veneer in three, five and seven ply panels. Workers pictured above are building up the layers of plywood. Man to the far right is the glue machine operator, a highly skilled position. ("The Plywood Age" by Robert M. Cour)
