AUTOMATIC HOPPER FEEDER.

HOPPER—This is extra large and capable of holding 400 to 450 pounds of cotton.

SPIKED ELEVATING APRON runs over large flanged blocks and is extra strong.

STRIPPING COMB OR ROLLER—This works in conjunction with the Spiked Apron, and is very simple and durable. It is self-cleaning and is easily adjusted by means of a handle on one side of the machine. This handle can be locked in position after an adjustment is made, and the arrangement, although operated from one side of the Feeder, gives a positive parallel motion, and consequently a true setting of the Stripping Comb.

PIN BEATER takes the cotton from the Spiked Apron. The stock, after passing over the cleaning grids, drops on the Delivery Apron.
