BACK TO GAPP

Until the mid-1990s, the sorting station logs to the mill of La Tuque, commonly known by employees the "Maloney" (from English sorting gap), more rarely the "trill" was a busy place.

This illustration work J. Daw, one of the clerks office of the hand Brown has appeared for the first time in the Bulletin Brown in 1921 as an header section on the activities of the Canadian subsidiary of the Brown Company. Daw was loosely based on the latuquoise Maloney and his top conveyor to carry the ball from the lower right pane.

I keep a very precise memory, because that's where I occupied much of the summer of 1952, hired by the Brown Corporation in order to push the logs onto the Saint-Maurice. I was only 17 years and at the time, worked there for six hours evening at six o'clock the next morning.

We went there by taxi, owned and driven by Veillette Sarto Ruel Bernard ** was already carpooling. It down to where moved today the airline Hélibec, crossed the river Bostonians before the yard, Canadian National Fitzpatrick. Then we went up to aboard a big boat. The smuggler we landed at the pier of a large building erected on one of the seven islands that became evident in this basin, upstream of the plant, where it conducts sorting logs. At the door of this building, there was a table that detailed the productivity of men. Nobody was wearing a lifejacket and it will take several accidents, drownings before this piece of equipment becomes mandatory.

At midnight, it was the break for lunch, we took in coukerie this large building.

This chart, listed in 1918 in the archives of the Brown Company, Berlin, New Hampshire, illustrates the development plan of these pillars, in fact usually filled timber crib stone for attaching them to the bottom. It also shows the curves formed by the bottom of the St. Maurice at this point. Source: Beyond Brown Paper.

The layout of the site will change dramatically in 1940 when construction is completed, at the foot of the falls, dam, a joint undertaking of the Shawinigan Water and Power and the St. Maurice Power Corporation, which At the time, was owned by Brown.

Foreman Time was a big guy, slim, friendly. Winner Bellavance, always wearing a felt hat. I still see myself at that age on the boom (boom) with an 8-foot pole, pushing the ball 12 feet down a corridor of about fifteen feet wide in front of a gentleman who was named Roman Langlais , who was among relatives of my father, who had been instructed to watch me in case ...

This sorting station logs and its facilities have often been photographed since the Brown brothers had decided to build a pulp mill in the early twentieth century, taking advantage of the powerful current of water and waterfalls at the height of the place that the English called La Tuque Falls.

Thus was born the Quebec and St. Maurice Industrial Company, incorporated May 20, 1905 and which became known as Brown Corporation, March 5, 1915 [1] .

As the company had to accumulate wood logs in quantity for the manufacture of pulp, it was probably installed a system of booms in the summer of 1905. In 1911 the company obtained government permission to install pillars on the Saint-Maurice: the birth of Maloney as we have known for over sixty years!
