The attachment ismounted on an independent transport axle, with two wheels and thills for a horse. The. threshed straw on leaving the shakers is forced between two canvas conveyors against thetrip levers of the attachment until enough straw accumulates to overcome the resistance oithese levers, and thus start the binding mechanism, which automatically stops again aiier 864 TORPEDOES. ejecting each truss, ready for the next presentation of straw. In binding trusses of about20 weight, the consumption of twine will be about 600 ft. to the ton of straw. Thetrusser can be applied to threshers of all patterns. The Cvclone or Pneumatic stacker for threshers consists of revolving fans driven
