Description
Ce chargeur était très important pour les bûcherons avant la mécanisation. Un chargeur et une barge de drave sont exposés dans le village de Field, près de la rivière Sturgeon. / This "jammer" was very important for lumberjacks before mechanization. There is a jammer on exhibit in the village of Field near the Sturgeon River, along with a pointer boat.
Notes
Jammers were very easy to build as they only needed some cables and pulleys that were connected to logs they could cut on site. Two men could easily operate this very simple piece of equipment powered by a horse, or other equipment to pull the cable and lift the logs into a load.
