thus been adjusted, they are cut off by means of a cross-cutting saw.
This cross-cutting may be done by hand and is not infrequently done
in that way, but at the large saw-mills, cross-cutting machines run by
electricity are used, and electric feed-rollers, on which the boards are
run automatically from the stacks to the cross-cutting saws.
Several saw-mills are connected with planing-mills, where the
boards are planed and turned into floorings, mouldings, etc.
As will be seen by Tables 88 and 89, the principal articles of
export among wood-goods are sawn products: deals, battens, and boards.
Great Britain is the most important purchaser of these goods (see Table
91, page 664), and next comes France; among importing countries may
further be mentioned Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark,
and South Africa. For planed boards, besides Great Britain, the
Netherlands and Cape Colony are the most important markets; part of
this article finds its way as far as Australia. In several of the countries
of the European continent the import of planed boards is hampered by
high duties. — Firewood (more properly termed deal and board ends,
