The bevel gears are well protected from dust and fly by a cover, and the Builder screw itself is provided with a cleaner which prevents the collection of dirt in the threads.
HOWARD & BULLOUGH PATENT AUTOMATIC SEPARATOR
HOWARD & BULLOUGH PATENT AUTOMATIC SEPARATOR
It has been our aim to combine in this new Separator simplicity and lightness with effectiveness and rigidity. All Separators collect lint, but the Howard & Bullough has so few parts and is so easily cleaned that this disadvantage is reduced to a minimum. The Separator rod holders, which allow the blades to be thrown back out of position for doffing, are neat and strong.
Vibration in a Separator means bad work, and we have given special attention to this point, as evidenced by the double bearings for the lifting rods, the stiffness of the Separator rod carrying the blades, and the general design. In case the operator neglects to return the blades to their working position after doffing, this is taken care of by a curved stop or bracket attached to the roller beam. Easy adjustment for both long and short traverse is a good feature of this Separator.
