Logging: The Principles and General Methods of Operation in the United States (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Logging: The Principles and General Methods of Operation in the United States
The marked development, during the past decade, in power logging machinery and methods has made it desirable to revise the first edition. A chapter has also been added on the use of crawler tractors in logging work because their rapid adaptation to the loggers needs indicates the extensive adoption of this form of equipment. This chapter has been prepared by A. Koroleff, a Russian forest engineer, who has spent much tune in studying the use of this kind of equipment on logging operations in the United States.
The subject matter has been rearranged, in part, to better meet the needs of the teacher and student and much of the text has been rewritten.
Acknowledgment is here made to those whose constructive criticisms and suggestions relating to the revision of the first edition have proved invaluable, and also to all others who have aided in the preparation of the text.
