Fig. 6—Hose Coupler Mounting Machine is seen at the left in Fig. 5, while to the right is the strip-ping bench for old air hose. Here the hose lengths aregripped in pneumatically operated jaws while the clampsand connections are rapidly removed. The extent to which air hose is handled is indicated inFig. 3, and a definite idea of the number of fittings re-claimed is found in the figures for a months work, whichshow an average of 10,000 couplings and the same numberof nipples for that period of time.
