(Perspective illustrating No. 3 Dyeing-iVlachine of the Ram Unloading type. The batch of cotton is shown pushed off on a truck in front of themachine where it can be moved to the hydro-extractors or allowed tostand and smother, as may be desired.

The distinguishing features in general appearance liein the substitution of a piston head for the usual false bot-tom, the raising and lowering of this piston head by a hy-draulic ram, all as shown in the diagram on the followingpage. The method of raising the cover is relatively unimportant;at the same time, we furnish three types of cover removingdevices : (i).
