Lumber Numberer: 1942
July 1942. "Grant County, Oregon. Malheur National Forest. Measuring logs to determine board-feet." Photo by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Kon-Tiki?
This photo reminds me of one when Thor Heyerdahl and crew were building the balsa log raft Kon-Tiki back in 1947.
Log rhythm
Measuring logs to determine board-feet is called scaling. The person scaling is a scaler and they use a special stick.
"A Day in the Life of a Log"
Mr. Lee seems to have followed the same three logs, from grading to lading, to shipping out.
Bad joke time
