NEW FLAX MACHINES
AT CLINTON
Inventors of Flax Harvester Gets
Out Two New Machines for the.
Flax Industry —Rev. Chas. H.
Vessot and C. U. Vessot, B. Sc.,
of Ottawa, Invented a Fla:
Lifter and Flax Turner.
At the Clinton Flax Mill last Thurs-
day and Friday afternoon, a demonstra-
tion was made of the two machines,
designed to eliminate the hand labour
ni the turning and lifting of flax spread
on meadow land to wet or dry,
The machines are drawn by one
horse, and no engine is required. The
lifting machine lifts one row of Rats
at a time and binds it into sheaves.
The lifting Is done by ordinary
layralses in the inside of which spilsed
wheels turn and lift the flax to another
set of wheels which deliver the flax to
th'e binding .device, the flax describing
the figure "2" In the passage,
The turning machine lifts the flax
as in the lifter but instead of tying it,
a belt suitably supported turns the flax
end of end and delivers it to a platform
from which it falls in a row on the
ground. This row is spaced so, that
the horse does not step on the flax on
the next round.
Though the machines are only rough
ly made models, they work quite well.;;,
The lifting machine especially doing'
good work.
With a few minor changes there is
no doubt that the machines will be a
commercial success,
Mr, Owen Geiger, the well known
flax man of Hensall, will operate one
of the lifting machines for the rest
of the season at Hensall. There
were quite a number of flax men here
to see the demonstrations.
Sunday, Sept. 25th is Wesley Church
