ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Log processing apparatus comprises a cutting machine that defines a substantially vertical cutting plane, feed mechanism that feeds a log through the cutting machine in substantially lengthwise horizontal motion parallel to the cutting plane, a measuring station spaced to one side of the cutting plane, and transfer mechanism by which a log is carried laterally from the measuring station to the feed mechanism. At the measuring station the log is established in an optimum rotational orient- ation which is thereafter maintained through a first transfer of support of the log, to a set of jaws on the transfer mech- anism, and a second transfer of such support, to a set of jaws on the feed mechanism. Before the transfer mechanism begins to move the log, a relationship is ascertained between a calculated plane that extends lengthwise in the log and a reference plane defined at the measuring station that has a fixed relationship to the cutting plane. During transfer from one set of jaws to the other the log undergoes no motion. However, one of the sets of jaws is controlledly shifted laterally to establish the log on the feed mechanism with said calculated plane in a desired rela- tionship to the cutting plane.
