Is this a better alternative?
Gordon Franklin worked in the Forest Industry of Eastern Canada , it appears part of his job was to evaluate various Equipment's Performance and Cost Effectiveness . After he left the private sector , He was employed by the Federal Government's FERIC Department . One of his Projects was part of a team to study a problem of loaded logging trucks losing logs off their loads in Eastern Canada . He also designed a system to secure the logs on the trucks and for slack to be taken out of the cables securing the load, as the logs in the loads settled while in transport . Some of these pictures are some of the various methods that were tried while a solution was developed .
