Three pages from the British journal Engineering (Aug. 12, 1898) reporting on George A. Lowry's paper "One Hundred Years of Ginning and Baling Cotton," read before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. It describes the Whitney saw gin and its improvements (mote board, lint room, condenser), compares saw and roller gins, and traces cotton baling presses from early screw presses to steam, hydraulic and cylindrical-bale presses. Engraved plates show the Churka gin, Whitney and Carver gins, the Bessonette roller press, the Taylor-Birage hydraulic compress and the Lowry cotton compress. The pages begin with the end of an unrelated item on French marine engines.
