Blue Isachsen short tower double drum winch
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many forestry photographs in his forestry career and some are now shown on this web site.
A classic view of the high lead winch set up bringing in a log load to the roadside at Inverliever Forest. The haul-in drum is working to bring the log closer and the haul-back bake is applied a bit to ease the log upwards to clear the end of the log pile. The attached PDF shows more views of the log as it arrives on top of the roadside log pile. Obviously a demo from the number of people about in the main image. More images in the attached PDF.
Can anyone name the location and the men?
