. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. igii BETTER FRUIT Page IS The Cylcone Apple Packer Is without exception the best machine on the market in the packer line, and is a great boon to all fruit growers. This machine is patented and is built here, under the supervision of wide-awake growers. It does not injure fruits or other products that require careful packing. A bo}- can do more work on this machine than a man can on any other. THE NEW COMPRESSION LEVER A FEATURE This packer is designed to obviate the well known faults of other style machines. With the old style machine it is necessary for the operator to place the compression arms in position before tightening the covers. The Cyclone does away with this fault, hy the operator merely pressing his foot Im the compression lever, which immediately brings the arms to the proper position, besides adjusting the co-\-ers even with the ends of box. By the use of the patented friction clutch the arms can be set at any desired posi- tion, and instantly released by pressing the release lever, which brings the arms back to place. STEEL CONSTRUCTION The all-steel construction of this machine insures lightness and dura- bility. The compression arms are positive in operation, by means of the guides which hold them in the slides, as is shown by Figure 1. Attention is called to wide space on the arms, which gives plenty of room for nailing and cleats. The heavy release spring, as shown by Figure 2, is sufficiently strong when released to bring all parts back to place. Figure 3 shows the connecting link, which is bolted to the connecting bars, and to these bars are bolted the compression arms, and by this attachment any unevenness in the pack is overcome and guarantees bringing the covers securely down on the box. Figure 4 shows the foot lever, which is convenientlj- bolted to the machine. The friction clutch (Figure 5) is so arranged that zny pressure on the foot lever immediately expands the spring, and thus tightens on the lever, hold
