HARDWOOD RECORD 



Results Are What Count 



A Combined Skidding 

 and Loading Machine that 

 will clear up the largest 

 area at a setting and can be 



moved and set up ready for busi- 

 ness in the shortest possible time 

 will get the best results. 



The latest Russel Machine has 

 some distmct improvements that 

 save time and trouble, conse- 

 quently money. 



Note the new method of sus- 

 '09 Special AU-steei Combinea skidder and Loader pending slcidding sheavcs. They 



are hung from a vertically hinged jib or triangle, the outer end of which is guyed by 

 two lines, one on each side, which are power-tightened and can be set while skidding 

 lines are going out. The guy lines lead back so they do not interfere with either skid- 

 ding or loading. The uppermost leg of jib has a spring connection to tower reducing 

 shocks. All strains due to skidding are absorbed by the guy lines. The swinging boom 

 is operated by wire ropes passing through sheaves suspended from a steel frame pro- 

 jecting from tower and leading to two 

 drums on loading engine, controlled by 

 one lever. 



Machine is raised and lowered by 

 hydraulic or patented geared jacks. 



Built for 2 or 4 lines, with stiff 

 or swinging boom. 



Constructed entirely of steel, except 

 loading boom. 



Is without question the strongest 

 and fastest machine of the day.
