1. Olympic peninsula forest in Washington State. Mt. St. Helens, Washington volcanic shock-wave destruction (after five years) showing where trees were snapped as if they were tooth picks. A logging operation in Washington State. Advanced wood decay by brown rot (left) and white rot fungi (right). Microscopic view of wood decay fungi (arrow points to hyphae). Barking drum 14.5 ft in diameter by 100 ft long. The first insert shows the logs at the dam, and the second insert shows the inside of the drum during construction. Courtesy of Manitowoc Engineering Co. Ring barker with an insert of a modular, rotary-head option to debark stringy-bark species such as cedar and eucalyptus. Courtesy of Valon Kone Brunette, Ltd. Flail barker. Courtesy of Manitowoc Engineering Co. Chip thickness screening system. Courtesy of Rader Co., Inc. 16. Selected views of a double wire press used for wet lap market pulp. A) Headbox approach, B) headbox and slice, C) dewatering with a drop leg, D) presses, E) wet lap, and F) cut and stacked wet-lap. 17. Some black liquor guns of a kraft recovery boiler. The inserts show the liquor being fired into the ftirnace. 18. Several views of smelt flowing from the bottom of a kraft recovery boiler. 19. The inside of the lime kiln near the exit. 20. Handsheets at various stages of bleaching. From upper right, counter clockwise the pulp samples are 1) unscreened, 2) screened, 3) after chlorination, 4) after alkali extraction, 5) after hypochlorite treatment, and 6) after hydrogen peroxide bleaching. 21. Several stages of washing in a four stage bleach plant. 22. A bleach tower of a hypochlorite stage. 23. Twin refiner. The rotating double-sided inner disk with ribbon feed (red) and axle is between two stationary disks (yellow). The insert shows the refiner open in the center for easy plate changing.
