Quotations
1942
LOADER. Loads logs from the landing on to the cars. Normally a crew of one head and two second loaders, working to a close routine, keeps pace with the logs brought in by one yarding machine. When yarding from a cold-deck pile at the rate of forty to sixty loads a day two crews are used, each consisting of one head and one second loader. These alternate through the day, spelling each other off.
1963
After the logs have been yarded to the "side," a loader places the tongs on the log at a point somewhat behind its centre of gravity.
