TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Machine for Quartering and Coring Apples. 



JYo. 1693 — Machine for Paring Quartering and Coring Apples. 

 Smith k, Fenwick, N.Y.; Colman & Williamson, agents, 6 Wall-st. 

 This is a highly finished and working machine, which executes 

 its work with great rajjidity and perfection, leaving the apple in 

 quarters, free from core, and ready for the drying process. The 

 many efforts recently made for preserving fruit sufficiently, proves 

 the importance of any machine or process that facilitates a branch 

 of business of so much importance to any man who has a fi-uit 

 tree, and which contributes so largely to the jjublic health. 

 There is no form of preserving fruit so simple and useful, and 

 that fits it so well for sending to market, as by drying. Viewed 

 in this light, this present machine is very important, and the best 

 of the kind on exhibition. [^^ silver medal having been before 



awarded — a diploma certifying that fact.
