Root and Apple \ 1 m^<^f:m\^m:' liasil Fig. 159. This machine has been recently constructed for the purpose of grinding, or rather rasping apples, by which the fruit is reduced to a fine pulp, and the juice can be jj,,v||jjl| much more thoroughly ^ out, than by the old process of p grinding. It is also made to rasp i ,.,. .. or grind the several species of roots, as the mandioca, or Brazilian arrow root, the Curcuma angusti- folia, or East-India arrow root, the Cycas circinalis, the Zamia pumila, of Florida, the Maranta arundinacea, or common arrow root plant of the West Indies, and the yuca or cazabe root, a plant of Cuba; also potatoes,&,c., from which the arrow root, tapio- ca, and starch are made. The machine can be propelled both by hand or horse power, as may he required. Whf'n large quantities of roots are to be prepared, the horse power is preferable.
