Electric Drive for Manufacturing Plants 



There is so much Interest manifested In elec- 

 tric transmission and power machinery, especially 

 for variable drive electrical power applied to 

 sundry typos of veneer and woodworlcing ma- 

 cliiner#. that In the Recoed of February 25 was 

 listed the complete equipment of power and 

 power transmission machinery recently furnished 

 the W. D. Reeves Lumber Company at Helena, 

 Ark., by the Allis-Chalmers Company of Mil- 

 waukee. Wis. 



On this page are sundry pictures, including a 



view of the big plant of the W. D. Reeves Lum- 

 ber Company, views of both the steam and elec- 

 trical power plant, together with a surfacer and 

 flooring machine driven by motors, and a big 

 veneer machine driven by a motor of special 

 Allis-Chalmers type, which is capable of trans- 

 mitting variable speed. This type of motor is 

 particularly valuable in accomplishing maximum 

 results in rotary-cut veneer work, speed being 

 advanced with the diminution of the size of the 

 bolt as the cutting progresses. 



The absolute economy and efficiency of this 



type of drive for a veneer cutter Is so apparent 

 that doubtless the majority of veneer manufac- 

 turers will find it economy to Install them. 



The Recoed is indebted to the Allis-Chalmers 

 Company for the illustrations on this page. 



The Escanaba Lumber Company Is planning 

 the erection of a hardwood flooring mill at Ma- 

 sonvlUe, Mich., and hardwood for this purpose 

 is being cut at its sawmill. The new mill will 

 be up-to-date throughout and will be a great 

 addition to the Industry of Masonvllie.
