19 30-INCH SPECIAL CYLINDER. This 30-inch Cylinder is specially designed foruse in Self-Feeding- Openers where these machinesare arranged for trunk connection or combined withBreaker Lappers. The large diameter makes it possible to usemore grid bars than with the blade beaters. Themain points considered in the design of this 30-inchcylinder were, more thorough opening of the cotton,greater production without injury to the staple, andbetter cleaning. These Cylinders are made from steel boilerplates, and the steel fingers are fastened on byrivets. These fingers are so arranged that in onerevolution they strike all points along the entirewidth of the feed rolls. In case of accident tofingers, caused by some hard substance getting intothe machine, the damaged fingers can be easilyreplaced. We have adopted the 30-inch Special Cylinder,believing it to be preferable to those of largerdiameter. 30

21CLEANING TRUNK. On the opposite page is shown a 10-ft. sectionof Atitojnatic Cleaning Trunk. It is usual to installtwo of these sections, making 20 ft., and to suspendsame from the ceiling. The cotton passes over Transverse Grids A andthe leaf and dirt drop between the Grids into aseries of compartments B, which are automaticallycleaned out by air draft from a Fan. Each com-partment has a hinged door or bottom C, whichwhen dropped leaves an opening into the exhaustair pipe D. The hinged doors are dropped one ata time, and the openings are shown at G. The Fan is connected to the exhaust air pipe D,and is only running while the Trunk is beingcleaned. The removable doors E give access to the topof the Trunk, and the brackets F are for thesupporting rods. One of the advantages of this Trunk is that itcan be hung from the ceiling out of the way andnot occupy valuable floor space. It is carefullybuilt and the joints of the doors are covered withleather to prevent leaks. Page 59 shows a sy
