THE AMERICAN APICULTURIST. 



A REVERSIBLE EXTRACTOR. 



R, F. Holtermann,of Brantford, Ont., 

 has sent an engraving and the following 

 description of the new "Goold Reversi- 

 ble Honey Extractor." 



The engraving herewith illustrates a 

 reversible honey-extractor made and 



ject being to perfect it thoroughly before 

 giving it to the public. It was carefully 

 tried by some customers and myself in 

 the apiary last year, and several changes 

 have been made since its first invention. 

 The machine took the first prize at the 

 Toronto Industrial Exhibition last fall, 



patented by E. L. Goold & Co., of Brant- 

 ford, Ont. It can be made either as a 

 two-frame or four-frame machine. For 

 a two-frame Langstroth a can 23^ inch- 

 es in diameter is required ; for a four- 

 frame the diameter must be 27 inches. 

 The baskets are reversed by means of 

 a positive lever motion. The levers 

 radiating from the center shaft work in 

 a slot in the bottom of the comb pock- 

 ets. 



Reversing the crank reverses the cen- 

 ter shaft, which in turn revolves the 

 levers a little way, and thus causes the 

 pockets^to be swung around. 



Unlike the Stanley extractor, when 

 one pocket reverses, all must reverse. 

 This is a great advantage. 



The ex*ractor has been in the hands 

 of Goold & Co. for over a year, their ob- 



for the best and most practical invention 

 not heretofore shown at that exhibition. 

 There were five inventions competing.
