FIG. 56. ENGELBERG HULLER. (BULLOCK-POWER). 



to which the huller is attached by a leather belt. At least 

 20 Indian coolies would be needed to work this gear, and the 

 cost for husking per maund of rice would thus come to over 

 8 annas. There would be therefore no advantage in having 

 this gear unless the shaft is adapted for attaching bullocks 

 which can be easily done as shown in the figure (Fig. 56). 

 The price of this man-power at New York is 75 dollars. It 

 is easier to adapt this for bullock-power than the horse-gear 

 already mentioned above. The huller and the pulley or 

 bullock-gear should be both placed in a circular hollow, and 

 the shaft driving the pulley should work above, the bullocks 

 being attached to the end of the shaft and going round and 

 round above the hollow. A railing or a parapet should 

 protect the bullocks from slipping into the hollow through any 

 accident. 



305. Huller No. 2, is constructed without the fan or 

 polisher, a separate arrangement being made for a polisher, 

 the rice being conveyed from a series of 10 or 12 hullers to a 

 single polisher placed at the end of the series. For large 

 mills this huller is better adapted than the more complete 

 one represented in (Fig. 55.) where the polisher is enclosed
