ENGLISH PATTERN CLEANING TRUNK (TWO 4-FT. SECTIONS)
Cleaning Trunk is of special advantage to mills using low grade stock. All cotton contains more or less light dirt and leaf, which it is difficult to entirely remove in the Lappers, on account of the fan draft essential to the formation of a good sheet on the screens carrying some of the lighter impurities along with the cotton. The passing of the stock over the transverse Grids in the Cleaning Trunk at a low velocity provides an efficient means for removing this dirt and leaf.
We also build an English pattern Trunk, which is shown in the illustration on [page 22]. This Trunk is supported by stands which rest on the floor, and is built in 4-ft. sections, several of these being coupled together. Although not automatic, it is easily cleaned by dropping the doors which cover the entire bottom of the Trunk and carry the Grids. In the illustration one of these doors is shown down, and the sheet iron Grids are plainly visible.
