| A FTER having effectually tested improved
n Hanged ribbed Gin, we offer to the public a very
superior machine, constructed that stems and hus
will not be cut by the will the teeth be injured
by hard substances getting into the gin, and conse
quenty making better sample out of roughly picked
cotton.
1t is designed to gin the Peeer any long staple
as well as the ordinary cotton which is usually gnned
on the gin.
The ange is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gin, by it each takes the cotton up
into its own department, never allowing it TO reach
| over to any other saw.
By it also the cotton is kept in contact with the
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 so perfect that it
does not require skilled hand to attend 1t.
The frames made of solid ash and put together
with bolts in the most substantial manner.
We refer to the following certificates from reliable
planters:
