The fruit is lifted and placed stem up
in rubber cups, which carry it to a me
chansm operating much as the human
hands. 1t is carried to the paper being
cut and printed from the roll. The
twist Of the paper is made over the stem
end, thus cushioning the stem and pre-
venting puncture injury. IF the ma
chine becomes clogged, It is stopped by
a clutch operated by electricity. A
counting attachment registers the mum

chine IS said TO equal six good wrappers.
