And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That's a lot of logs, but you gotta work with what you've got.
Romans employed similar structures, think its called castellation, (forgot the latin spelling), for all Roman solders it was their first introduction to military life. For some legions, they transported their timbering along their march and set up a new bivouac for overnight security.
Logger's are very enterprising fellows. The locomotive is a Climax geared engine designed for irregular and makeshift track work. The logs are strapped to disconnected buggies. That can be adjusted to the length of its log load. No air brakes on these. The loggers shown on the loads adjusted the brakes manually using a tool called a "Hickey".

ReplyDeleteWow. Would like to know how long it took to assemble something like this.

ReplyDeleteI noticed that the logs are not chained or strapped together. The weight of the load keeps the buggies underneath for movement.
DeleteSome of them, are. See lower right, there is a longer and a shorter metal connecting logs
DeleteWhen they are done with that area they can just pull the logs off that pile and send them to the mill; it's like money in the bank.
ReplyDelete"Timber we got. Lumber, no so much."
ReplyDeleteObviously, Canada hadn't started selling us Chinesium steel yet.
