The pulley on themotor is 2 inches in diameter, which beltsto the 12-inch pulley on the small pulley on the latter is 3 inches,which belts to the 8-inch pulley on the ex-tractor shaft, this reduction being just aboutright for the speed of the motor. By this arrangement I still have the useof the idler for regulating the speed of theextractor, which I regard as very satisfac-tory. After most of the honey is out of thecombs and the speed of the reel is a littletoo high, I loosen the idler a notch, allow-ing the belt to slip sligh
