Description of the Extractor, 9 1 
The diameter at the top of the tub should be 
about twenty-six inches, spreading out to about 
thirty at its base. One of the staves of the tub, 
on each side of it, M M, should be allowed to 
project about eight inches above the upper rim. 
To the uprights thus formed a cross piece 
should be attached, in the centre of which the 
upper axis of the extractor revolves, K. 
The cross-bar above mentioned should be 
fixed to the uprights by means of an iron hook 
and eye at each end ; it can thus be removed 
and the extractor released at will. 
The bottom of the tub should be convex, so 
as to facilitate the draining off of the honey.
