Report No 61 - The Bark-Lasse Peeling Machine
Two files containing about 65 Head Quarters Mechanical Development Committee Reports from 1950 to 1958 were saved from destruction by Jim Christie former Forestry Commission HQ, Plant Engineer. Jim, from Crook of Devon, has kindly made the reports available for scanning and entry onto this website. Please open the PDF to see this full report.
Report No 61 again tackles the subject of timber peeling machines this time a model from Sweden with Stenners of Tiverton Ltd. being the agents in this country. This machine was mounted on and powered by a suitable tractor thus making it very manoeuvrable. Light weight and cost were other considerations in its favour as well as producing a well peeled product.
