A FTER having sfestually tested our improved
IN Hanged ribbed lin, offer to the public a very
superior machine, constructed that stems and bulls
will not be cut by tn. 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 Peeer any long staple,
well the ordinary cotton which is usually ginned
the gin.
The fange is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gin, by it each saw takes the cotton up
into It's department, allowing it to reach
any other
By it also the cotton 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 ginned
in given time is increased at least 80 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 sttendlt
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:
