Description: These instruments are used for controling the kraft pulp bleaching process in the mill of Fraser Companies Limited in Edmundston, N. B. A major portion of the unbleached kraft pulp made in the company's mill at Newcastle, N. B. is shipped by rail to Edmundston where it is bleached and blended with bleached sulphite pulp and pumped to the Fraser Paper Limited paper mill in Madawaska, Maine. Sylvio Fournier is noting readings on the instruments at the left while Gerard Dupont checks control settings.
