PATENT
01
NOW IN
KLAMATH FALLS
Alex M. Page is Also In
ventor of a Sawyer's
Mirror
Alex M. Page, holder of the. patent
on the Rhodes System of sawfng,
has been In Klamath Palls during
the past week interesting. Klamath
mill men In Or method of sawing
logs. " ' -
The ' Rhodes system consists of
sawing logs parallel to the bark
rather than to the heart, thus get
ting the greatest possible amount of
long length, straight grained uppers,
nnd In taking tho taper from tho '
heart of the log. which is Itsvarlably
box or common lumber. The key to
the system Is In removing the taper
from the cant. This should be done
in two "or more cuts, making a short
board each time with one end taper
ing to a feather edge to be removed
by the trimmerman. It the mill has
a resaw. the process is considerably
simplified, for the V. shaped board
may be resawed, giving one good
board and one wedge shaped shim.
The method Is calculated to effect
a saving of ten per cent In actual
footage, but the greatest saving
results from the taper being taken
from the heart, which la Invariably
low grade lumber, and the resultant
saving of sap, or upper grado lum
ber. Then, too, the sap. lumber will
all be the full length of the log,
and be far stralghter grained than
when cut'ln the old way. -
The Pelican Bay Lumber company -
pit I t:ii.ut.ii tut-- paiTroi riKiun I ruui
Tyre Rhodes, the Inventor andVfirst
owner, but had never used the sys
tem until the recent installation of
electric dogs. The tapering device
on the new dogB permits of the uso
of the Rhodes system, and Pelican
started using this method Monday.
Page is' a cousin of Walter, nines
Page, former ambassador to Ger
many, and' comes front a fatrUy of
lumbermen who operated extensively
throughout the southern states.
Walter nines Page was the only
member of the family who did not
follow the lumber industry. "
Page Is tho Inventor, of a tilting
mirror operated by a cord to thn
sawyer's pit, which enables him to
see both ends of the log when it is
loaded. , A spotlight Is attached to
the mirror, which throws a bright
light on the end of the log. This
device is particularly useful where
the Rhodes method Is used, in order
to spot rot or bther defects, and re
move the taper from the bad part
of the log! Page has applied for a
patent on the mirror. ' i.
A picture of the device may lib
found on page one hundred and sixty
of the June Timberman.
Tho Rhodes system is now being
used by many of the largest lumber
manufacturers on the coast, Includ
ing the Hammond Lumber company,
the Booth-Kelly ; Lumber company,
and the Spruce corporation.
