The teeth are propelled inslots in the elevator, and serve the double purpose of elevating the grain and packing it underthe knotter, which is modeled on the Appleby plan. This machine packs the grain A. Wood makes a rake-elevator binding-harvester (Fig. 50) which has cloth-conveyer.

The rake-heads rock, so as to feather and draw out of work, as soon as they arrive atthe edge of the binder-table. They are held in work by tail-guides at the forward end. Theraking device is in the form of a reel, which is journaled only at the forward end: thus theentire rear line of harvester and binder is left open, as seen ni Fig. .)1, giving unobstructedpassage to the grain, however long the straw may be. There is a light cloth-and-frameextension behind the platform to keep the heads of tall grain from touching the stubblebehind the harvester. The knotter works beneath the binder-table which is slotted just above it, and is a hook of the Applebytype. The twine-needle is piv-oted above the space for thesheaf. The discharger recipro-cates. The grain is elevatedonly along the small arc re-quired
