Logging California redwood in the 1940s - video

[Beserkleyboy]

Mate, thank you a thousand times for bringing this video to light once again. As a 3rd generation Northern California lumber yard owner (with 15 (working) years in AUS), I first saw this video from a 16mm projector at a HooHoo lumberman's meeting in the mid 60s with my dad. I've toured several norcal redwood mills and quite a few Oregon Fir and Pine mills, always a joy to see. At Miller Redwood Co in Arcata, Ca, they had a special headrig OUTSIDE the main mill, to break the biggest logs in at least half, as they could only cut logs to 6' diameter on the main headrig, go figure...another day it was. Cheers and thanks again!
