Ford Adopts Saving in Mills Ford Adopts Saving in Mills
Ford Motor Company has installed a new wood sawing system at its mills and wood-working plants to cut hardwood directly from logs. The method, using bark-on logs and digout patterns, increases usable board feet by about 32 percent and reduces waste, with claims of longer lasting forests and faster kiln drying. It expands production at Iron Mountain L Ause River Rouge and other plants, and promises less warping and more efficient lumbering overall.
