A FTER having effectually tested our improved
n Hanged ribbed Gin, we offer to the public very
superior machine, constructed that stems and bulls
will be cut by the will the teeth be injured
by hard substances getting into the gin, and conse
quently making better sample out of roughly picked
cotton.
1t is designed to gin the Peeler any long staple
well the ordinary cotton which is usually gnned
the gin.
The ange is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gn as by 1t each saw takes the COTTON
into its department, never allowing 1t to reach
over to any other saw.
By also the cotton is kept in contact with the saw
on either side until stripped of the fibre, and then i'm
mediatey discharged, and thus by keeping clean or
white roll it is called, the amount of cotton gnned
in given time is increased at least so per cent
1t is simple in its construction and cannot get out OF
order.
1t is of light draught and the roll perfect that it
does not require skilled hand to attend it.
The frames are made of solid ash and put together
with bolts in the most substantial manner.
We refer to the following certificates from RELIABLE
planters:
