Abstract
This paper refers mainly to saw-mills of the Douglas fir region, and to sawmills that May be classed as of fair size, for it is in these that engineering problems become more real. The Jogs in the Douglas fir region are often very large and heavy. Many reach very great dimensions, both in diameter and in length. The tallest Douglas fir on record was 380 ft. high-which is also the maximum height recorded for redwood. The largest tree ever found had a diameter, at breast height, of 15 ft., and individual trees have yielded as much as 60 000 board-ft. of lumber.
