It is formed like the extrac-^ tor, and consists of two parts, about equal. The upper fits into the lower, which has a fine wire screen at the top, and a discharge gate at the bottom. A comb-rest holds the combs. This drains the cappings, and gives us a very superior quality of honey. Mr. Mclntyre uses a large box (Fig. 157) six feet long, with a tin tray at the bottom. The comb-rest is on a pivot, so as to turn readily. The large size insures quick drainage, so that the cappings are soon ready for the solar.
