Floating factories have become an
important part Of the development Of
the forest resources of India. In GER
tain parts of that country the forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense OF

course impracticable Therefore,
saWmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
