Great Britain - Farming. A new type of potato harvester which has taken 14 years to develop is to be mass-produced in Britain. Invented by Mr. P. J. Packman, the harvester works on a completely new principle of soil separation and potato collection, entirely avoiding the use of chain belts and sprockets. Handling of the crop is gentle, employing rubber "fingers", and the machine has a rubber separation carpet. Five tons of soil are handled every minute. The harvester would allow a farmer to lift his crop with his own permanent staff instead of hiring extra pickers. Picture shows: Top: The harvester at work. With it the whole content of the ridge is gathered, avoiding a later harrowing operation. Capacity is up to four acres a day according to conditions. Bottom: Another view of the harvester, showing the separating process. The manufacturer is Thomas Storey Limited, Stockport, Cheshire, England.Photo measures 8.25 x 10inches. Photo is dated 8--1954.
