Description: We see in the background of the wood room the barking drum. Taken on July 9th, 1970 this picture shows 4-foot logs that were debarked and transported on this platform. Here a worker pushes a switch to activate a lift to pull logs that were not completely debarked into a chute to return them to the barking drum.
