'New Look' in
Forest Lookout
Towers Developed
Madison. Wis. - A "new
look" forest lookout tower,
with interchangeable strut
tural timbers and panelized
prefabricated cab, has been
designed with the aid of sci
entists at the U. S. Forest
Products Laboratory here,
working with engineers of
the Forest aervlce and a Se
attle, Wash., firm.
Designed for quick, easy
assembly in remote areas to
which the timbers and panels
can be brought by helicopter
if necessary, the tower can be
erected in heights from 40 to
nearly 100 feet, according to
the 1962 annual report of the
Forest Service laboratory
iust issued here.
The Forest service plans to
build the first tower of the
new design, a 63-footer, this
year at the Heybrook lookout
on the Skykomisn district
Snoaualmie National forest.
in Washington, according to
J. Herbert Stone, Portland
regional forester. If the pro
totvoe tower proves success
ful, the design may be stand
ardized for similar towers on
national forests elsewhere in
the West.
The annual report also re
views findings In many other
branches of forest products
research under way at the
laboratory, which is main
tained here by the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture.
Report Highlights
Highlights include:
1. A new method of pre
stressing glued laminated
wooden beams thai greatly in
creases their load capacity for
floors and roofs.
2. Promise of bigger pulp
yields from wood by im
proved chemical pulping pro
cesses. 3. A method of stiffening
paper that also makes it less
prone to shrinking and swell
ing with humidity changes-a
boon to color printers, paper
box makers, mapmakers, and
producers of tabulating cards
for electronic computers.
4. A low-cost chemioal treat
ment for concrete that kills
termites crawling over It. The
chemical is Incorporated in
freshly mixed concrete for
house foundations and other
structures.
5. New chemicals that have
economic promise for making
plastics, foams, films, liu
mcctants, and other industri
al products from low-grade
wood now unusable.
6. New knowledge of the
chemical nature of llgnin, a
major component of wood
now largely discarded at pa
per mills.
Besides results of research
done by its own staff, the re
port covers studies done else
where for the laboratory un
der grants of funds. Among
these were results of experi
ments with laser light beams
and high-powered water jets
to cut and machine wood.

cent during the next 13 years
to a total of 13.3 million per
