BR IJwAS XDBLW CYLINDER gON G ,
MANUFACTUED BY W. . CLEHONS, BROWN & CO,,
COLUM {JS, IGEGRGIA).This Gin is the invention of Mr. I. F. BROWN, of Columbus, Georgia, and pos-
sesses, among others, the following advantages:
1st. The Double Cylinder is much easier fed. The hopper being only half the
width of a single cylinder of the same number of saws, the ginner can feed{ ilth
much greater ease.
2d. It picks faster than the Single Cylinder, with the same power. This is ow-
ing to the peculiar form of the roll, which presents a new surface to the saws at
each revolution.
ad. The Gin makes a fine sample. In every case the cotton has brought the
highest market price.
4th. The Double Cylinder Gin runs lighter than a Single Cylinder with the same
number of saws. From experiments made by ourselves, and the testimony of those
who have them, we are satisfied a 60 saw will run as light as a 50 saW of the other
kind.
This Gin, as well as the Single Gin with but one Cylinder of saws, made also by the same
firm, and for sale by
ABERTSON & IUDG, lachinerq Agents, 8 Union Stree, New Orleans.
