For various reasons it is likely that. the caw mills used to convert this timber will be relatively small, labour intensive units. The equipment required to operate such mills is simple to design. and manufacture, and could be manufactured in East Africa. In this paper, specifications for two basic machines are drawn up, one a conventional circular saw heading, the other a more complex double log edger. If sufficient interest is shown in either of these' projects, the University College, Nairobi would be prepared to undertake the design of one of the machines. The possibility of using a double log edger to produce sawn planks is outlined as this might lead to improved timber quality and high conversion ratios at the expense of producing odd sized planks.Item Agricultural Review Journal of the Agricultural Industry(Ministry of Agriculture, 1997) Ministry of AgricultureAgricultural reviews of the Journal of the Agricultural Industry for April/May -1997 VOL. 4 No. 3Item The Agriculture Research Fund: Competitive Research Grants Programme(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; The Agriculture Research Fund; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe agricultural scientific community in Kenya is much larger than the scientific community within the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARl).
