High Humidity 

 Dry Kiln 



CIRCULATION IS KING 



Of the three controlling' factors 

 in Dry Kiln operation — heat, 

 humidity, and circulation — cir- 

 culation is king-. The circula- 

 tion is your transportation sys- 

 tem delivering the necessary 

 heat and humidity to your lum- 

 ber. If your circulation falls 

 down, or is inadequate and not 

 uniform your drying suffers 

 accordingly. 



The largest manufacturers of 

 drying equipment now offer 

 vou their services in regard to 

 your lumber drying problems.
