Here is a question, how come there are no old growth red fir or second growth yellow fir? I have never seen a young yellow fir. Does something change over time?

Yes, as a Douglas fir tree gets mature to the end of its actual productive lifespan it stops growing for the most part, it will add rings each year but nothing like a younger one so much like a human and their blood they pretty much die off and then it ages to a yellow color.

Not sure if the Hayes management was upset about the loss of the initial Pacific employees, I would imagine there were some sore people for a few days. I haven't ever heard any details or reasons behind the parting of ways. On the Pacific side those who came up with the early Pacific model nomenclature did show a bit of gratitude towards Hayes. Discovered by Darren Hingston, the letters in the early model numbering can be re-arranged to spell "Hayes Mfg. Co." with a couple other letters added in (notably a W). I will see if I can find a copy of an article in which he describes this in a bit more detail.

Hi, it's Werkhorse here ... aka Darren Hingston ...
As Scott has mentioned I did indeed work out the early letter code for the Pacific's when I was researching the 15 Pacific's that came to Australia in the 1960s ... All came to Tasmania, the little island state at the bottom of Australia.

The D and W denote Double reduction or Worm drive.

A copy of this was then sent to Larry to put in the Pacific historical files.
