The ribs are made of 5-16" steel plate. They are formed to the proper shape on a large forming press. The slots are milled with gang cutters to insure accurate spacing and are then beveled or “relieved" on the under side, quite similar to individual ribs. Any plate section may be renewed.

  • Tridium's Sedona 1.2 Component Descriptions
    Tridium’s Sedona 1.2 Component Descriptions Components are deployed in kits which are available from Tridium, Contemporary Controls and other members of the Sedona community. Kits without a company name are from Tridium. Kits with a company name and no product name are from a Sedona community member and these components can be used with other Sedona devices. Kits with both a company name and product name are hardware dependent thereby limiting portability. What follows are component descriptions of Tridium-release kits compliant with Sedona release 1.2.28. In prior releases by Tridium, Tridium put all the Sedona components into one kit called the Control kit. With this final release, Tridium organized these components into multiple kits with more meaningful kit names. This organizational structure has been maintained in this document with components listed by the newer kit names. It is recommended that these kits or components not be modified from their original form to ensure the portability of components and kits among members of the Sedona community. If changes or enhancements need to be made by a Sedona developer, the developer can use what currently exists, modify or enhance the component, but then save the result as a custom component using the developer’s name. The developer would then create a kit name that also includes the developer’s name making it clear it is a custom kit. When studying these components keep the following in mind. Boolean variables are assumed if there is a false/true state indication. Integers (32-bit signed integers) are shown as whole numbers while floats (32-bit floating point) are shown with a decimal point.

SIMMONS, logging specialist NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE - - - WASHINGTON, D. C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.
