 Here is a picture of what's inside the pod or bole. 4 or 5 chambers on the pod each with 2 or 3 seeds in it . Cotton Strippers are more like rakes in that they rakes the pod loose . The machine cleans it some and then it dumped into a module builder ( smasher) and then the mill comes and hauls it the the gin mill for the final processing before a textile mill would purchase. Pretty neat process for someone who has only been around beans corn and wheat. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |
