4 FTER having effectually tested our improved
IA Hanged ribbed Gin we offer to the public very
superior machine, constructed that stems and hulis
will not b. 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 desgnedsto gin the Peeler or any long staple
well the ordinary cotton which is usually ginned
on the saw gin.
The ange is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gin, by it each saw takes the cotton up
into its own department, never allowing it to reach
over to any other
By it also the cotton is kept in contact with the saw
either side until stripped of the FIBRE and then i'm
mediately discharged and thus by keeping clean or
white ro it is called the amount of cotton ginned
in given time is increased at least so per cent.
1t is simple in its construction and get out of
order.
1t is of light draught and the roll so perfect that it
loes not require skilled hand to attendit.
The frames made of solid ash and put together
with bolts in the most substantial manner.
