The Optimum Siting of Roads for Winch Extraction
R. E. STUMBLES
Forestry Commission
When timber is extracted by double-drum winch there will be an optimum extraction distance, which will give lowest over-all extraction costs. A method is suggested of calculating this optimum distance and from this a guide is obtained as to the best position for road construction in small woods where only one road is required.
