The glass was soon discarded, and replaced by a stopper. The box was suspended by a rope, and turned like a sling (Fig. 1). But as the work of ex- tracting was very slow with such a primitive machine. Ilruschka invented a large, triangular frame, at the center of which a vertical spindle, turning on a pivot, supported a horizontal beam 12 feet long, at both ends of which the boxes were suspended. Two ropes, one rolling round wliile the other unrolled, moved the slinging-boxes, which, drop- ping vertically as soon as the motion stopped, prevent the honey from run- ning out. The length of the beam helped the extracting by increasing the speed of the motion (Fig. 3). But this big machine proving too cumbersome, Ilruschka invented another extractor, with a crank and two different-sized wheels, joined by a string. Kearly all the machines now in use are only mod- (ications, or. rather, improvements, of this (Fig. 2).. Fiij.
