An encyclopædia of agriculture : comprising the theory and practice of the valuation, transfer, laying out, improvement, and management of landed property, and of the cultivation and economy of the animal and vegetable productions of agriculture. gh surface, in the same manner as the graters used for nutmegs, &c, but the holes in this are larger. This cylinder is situate beneath a hopper (b), into which the potatoes are thrown, and thence admitted into a kind of trough (c), when they are forced against the cylinder, which, as it revolves, grinds the potatoes to a pulp. Motion is given to themachine by a handle fixed upon the end of the axis of the grating cylinder (a), and onthe opposite extremity of this axis is a fly-wheel d) to regulate and equalise themovement. The potatoes, when put intothe hopper, press by their weight upon thetoo of the cylinder, and, as it revolves, theyare in part grated away. On one side of the lower part of the hopper is an opening,closed or opened more or less, at pleasure, by a slider (e) ; and the degree of openingwhich this has, regulates the passage of the potatoes from the hopper into the trough (c).This is as wide as the length of the cylinder, and lias a concave board (/) fitted into it,. 268 :)si SCIENCE OF AG KICULTUItr:.
