Cotton Cleaning and Extracting Machine.
Description:
Patent for an apparatus that improved the cleaning process for machine-processed boll cotton. The invention made it possible to extract more lint cotton from closed bolls which were typically unharvestable by traditional machine-based cotton gins. The machine also improved success in late fall or winter cotton harvesting by allowing bolls containing hard-to-reach cotton to be processed.
