1966 Scenes from Idaho pulp and paper mill. This is the pope reel of the #2 paper board machine. Paper from this machine was normally used in liquid packaging, i.e., milk cartons. Ice cream and butter cartons could also be produced from this paper. The paper board would later be coated with plastic resin to make it waterproof. A Potlatch Forests, Inc., employee monitors the many gauges in the background. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York. (Additional information provided by a reader)
