In tables 4 through 9, the equipment and number of units needed to balance each 

 system were tentatively designed for simulation trials. In every system, the harvested 

 material is assumed to be a 50-50 mix of merchantable and residue material. For 

 system VI, all of the harvested material is transported to the mill for sorting and the 

 fingerlings are manufactured at the plant. For all other systems (fig. 7), the finger- 

 lings are made at the landing and transported to the mill along with the merchantable 

 logs. The logs and fingerlings are not necessarily transported to the same location, 

 but for this report, they are transported the same distance: 40 miles.
