Hoquiam WA Mill


Here lies the remains of a wood chipping mill, in Hoquiam WA.  The circular machine is a debarker: logs enter one end, and are rotated around in a way similar to a clothes dryer.  The drum is lined lined with a rough cutting surface, and the logs emerge denuded out the other end.  This one was mounted on many sets of vehicle tires, and driven by an electric motor.
