SELF-FEEDING OPENER.
This is a combination of the Automatic Hopper Feeder with an Opener Section built as one machine. The Beater in the Opener Section may be a two-blade rigid Beater, 18 in. dia., or a 30-in. dia. Special Cylinder, which is shown and described on [page 18].
This machine may be arranged for trunking connections, as shown in the cut on the [opposite page], or it may be attached directly to a Breaker Lapper, forming a Combined Self-feeding Opener and Breaker Lapper (see [page 30] for cut of this machine).
