Log-Stop and Loader.

By letting steam into the cylinder, the projecting arm revolves, rolling one log over onto the carriage and holding the next one till wanted.] After the logs have entered the mill, they are inspected for stones lodged in the bark, and for spikes left by the river men, and then measured.

Under the log-slip is the steam "flipper" or "kicker," Fig.
38, by means of which the scaler or his assistant, throwing a lever, causes the log to be kicked over to one side or the other, on to the log-deck, an inclined floor sloping toward the saw-carriage.

Down this the log rolls until stopped by a log-stop, or log-loader, Fig.

39, a double-aimed projection, which prevents it from rolling on the carriage till wanted.
