suitable for floating, and the excellent quality of the Swedish timber,
a good heartwood and particularly free from knots, which makes it
especially suitable for joiDery purposes. In comparison with certain
other richly wooded countries, Sweden is also favoured by its
convenient situation for navigation and its many good harbours.
Saw-Mills.
In 1900, the value of the output from saw-mills and wood-planing
mills was stated to be 163,481,440 kronor, — a far higher amount than
any other class of manufactures could show. It constituted no less
than 15*63 % of the value of the output from all the manufactories
of the kingdom. The income of the trade was estimated at about
sixteen and a quarter million kronor. The number of workmen occupied
in this industry amounted to 43,312. During that year, 1,835 saw-frames
and 769 planing-machines were in use. As motive power, 536
water-wheels or turbines and no less than 859 steam engines were employed
for the mill-work proper, and 10 water-wheels and 109 steam-engines
besides for running, electric motors. The whole number of electric
motors is given as 282, a figure which is likely to be too low.
