Telling Trees by Electricity.
From the London Times.

Hitherto machines for telling trees have
been driven by steam power, but this is
sometimes inconvenient, especially in thick
woods, and electric power has recently been
adopted in the Galician forests. Usually in
such machines the trunk is sawed, but in
this case it is drilled. When the wood is
of a soft nature the drill has sweeping
motion and cuts into the trunk by means of
cutting edges on its sides. The drill is
actuated by an electric motor mounted on
carriage, which is brought up close to the
tree and shackled to it. The motor is capa-
BILE of turning round its vertical axis, and
the drill is geared to it in such a manner
that it can turn through an arc of circle,
and make sweeping cut into the trunk
The first cut made, the drill is advanced a
few inches, and another section of the wood
removed in the same way until the trunk is
half severed. 1t is then clamped to keep
the cut from closing and the operation con-
tinued until it would be unsafe to go on.
The remainder is finished by hand sa w or
an ak. The current is conveyed to the
motor by insulated leads brought through
the forest from generator placed in some
convenient site.
