320 VINEGAR, CIDER, AND FRUIT-WINES. 



Fig. 71 shows the revolving platform belonging to the above 

 press, for which the manufacturers claim the following ad van- 

 Fig. 70. 



tages : 1. Both ends of the platform are loaded and unloaded in 

 the same place. 2. It is so geared that one man can easily and 

 quickly revolve it. 3. The grinder can be directly over the 

 centre of the cheese, thus avoiding all the labor of shovelling the 

 pomace. 4. The pomace being dropped in the centre of the 

 cheese, it is an easy matter to spread it with equal density over 

 the entire surface, thus building a cheese that is not liable to tilt 

 or slide. The cider runs into a copper basin in the centre of the 

 platform between the two cheeses. The basin is so arranged that 

 it receives the cider while the platform is being revolved as well 

 as while the press is working.
