opposite side, where they are arrested by the edging strip. When 

 triuinifd, a mere turn of the trimmers' hand deposits the apple on the 

 conveyor. The conveyor for waste is placed below the table, beneath 

 and slightly to the inner side of the paring machines, and an opening 

 8 inches square just back of each macjiine permits peels and cores to 

 drop directly ujion the belt, while the waste from the trimmers' side of 

 tlie table is easily swept into the oiienings as it accumulates. 



The work table shown in the plans has ample space for seven iiiacliines 

 and for fourteen trimmers. With ))ower parers kept in a good state of 

 rejiair, six e.\|)erienced i)eelers should, in a nine-hour day, easily pare 

 enough fruit to keep a 400-bushel ])lant going. The number of trimmers 

 needed will depend upon the mechanical perfection and state of repair of

the parers, and to an even greater degree upon the character of the fruit. 

 When working with good (' grade fruit, three experienced trimmers may 

 easily keep the tables clear for twd machines, while witli small culls, or 

 fruit having decayed spots or much codlin moth injury, two trimmers 

 to each parer may find it difhcult to properly trim the fruit. In any 

 case, economy at the trimming table means fruit of poor quality, which 

 will find a market at less than prevailing prices for " prime " fruit. 



The conveyor from the work table delivers the fruit to the bleacher, 

 which is supended from the joists, 64 feet from the floor, out of the way 

 of those working in the rooms. The bleaclicr delivers the apples into a 

 bin placed at such a height above the floor that they may be brought to
