Cotton-Picker

A short dictionary entry on the cotton-picker from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It gives two senses: a scutching machine that tears apart matted cotton and cleans it, and a machine that picks cotton from the bolls. The second is illustrated by Fig. 1488, a toothed endless chain with reflex spines that strips the bolls and a revolving stripper that throws the cotton into a receptacle. Rotary-brush, blower, flexible air-pipe and net designs are mentioned briefly.
