Brief History of the 

 Honey Extractor 



The first crude honey extractor was in- 

 vented hy Hnischka of Venice. Italy, in 

 18(35. In 1S()9 A. I. Koot constructed 

 the first metal extractor with revolvina: 

 reel and stationary can. This was called 

 the Novice extractor, and at that time 

 was a ?reat improvement over any 

 other extractor in use. Then came the 

 Cowan extractor with .swin.sins pock- 

 et.^, shortly followed hy the Koot Auto- 

 matic with i>ockets reversed mechanic- 

 ally while at rest. Finally, in 1919, 

 .after years of experimenting, the Root 

 Full Speed Keversintr Extractor was 

 perfected, and after two years of actual 

 testins: amons all kinds of adverse con- 

 ditions, it has proved to be the fastest 

 and sturdiest machine ever Iniilt. Last 

 season it withstood an overspeed test 

 of 350 R. P. M., without injury to 

 fragile combs.
