It contains a square basket of tin work, with wire cloth covering on two opposite sides, sufficiently large to take two frames of the Langstroth hive, one on each side, placed on end, and resting against the wire cloth. A spindle, to which the basket is attached, passes down the centre, the lower end working in a bearing raised some height above the bottom of the cylinder, so that there is a space for honey to accumu- late below the bottom of the basket. The upper end of the spindle works through a bearing exactly in the centre of the. Kg. 63—HONEY EXTRACTOR.

When combs are to be extracted, the capping of the cells having been removed with the uncapping knife hereafter to be described, one frame is placed against each Avire cloth side of the basket and made to i-evolve until the honey from the outer side of each comb is thrown out, through the wire cloth, and, striking against the inside of the cylinder, trickles down to the bottom, to be withdrawn by the tap or honey-gate.
