In the making of assorted flavor bricks of pop-corn, you run five batches and fill five pans out of each batch.

First batch, white, vanilla flavor. Second batch, molasses. Third batch, chocolate. Fourth batch, molasses. Fifth batch, pink with wintergreen flavor.

You use five transfer racks and put them in a row on the bench. Turn a pressed pan of corn right from the press upside down on the table to get out the sheet of corn; take the sheet of corn and put it in the transfer rack by putting the back end down first, bend sheet in the middle, put the front end down and then press down the middle. You have five sheets, or pans from a batch; put one in each transfer rack. Do the same with each of the five batches. Sheets being made each one inch thick, the transfer racks will be just filled.

Place a full transfer rack of pop-corn in place on the cutting rack and push the pop-corn down into the cutting rack. Remove the transfer rack. Now run the full cutting rack of pop-corn under the knife in the cutting machine.

The push-out stand should be placed conveniently on the bench, so that you put the cutting rack of cut pop-corn on this push-out stand. As the rack goes down over the stand, the bottom board goes up with the corn on it, so it may be lifted off and the corn slid off onto the packing table.
