The small arrows indicate itjternal circulation 



GREEN END — The cold preen lumber first comes under the steam 

 spray which heats it to the center with a high humidity and low 

 temperature, tnaking the tissue plastic and relieving any case-hardening. 

 The down circulation at this end is natural and tends to equalise the 

 moisture content of the stock before drying begins. 



DRY END — The stock has progressed to this end through a gradually 

 increasing temperature (produced by the three coils of pipe under the 

 tracks), and a corresponding lowering humidity. It is thus dried 

 uniformly from center to surface without case-hardening or checking — 

 the wood retaining its natural life and strength. 



Moore's Progressive 



Air Kiln 



or MOORE'S COMPARTMENT KILN is furnished where charge 

 method of operation is desired. We build both the progressive and 

 compartment type and manufacture equipment suited to each system.
