This reel differs consid erably from the usual round patterned reel. This reel can al so be used on Harvesters ana swathers.

It sweeps the cut grain back from the sickle clear to the auger and thus prevents dropping or spill ing of heads off the sickle bar to the ground even going downhill. Being put clear back to the auger the grain is caused to go under the auger, which in turn feeds the full width of the cylinder. ,.. Because a big percentage, of neighbors' who saw this ma chine working at lone wanted one, Gar has set up a small fac tory operation. Modern equip ment has been purchased and installed including a fast-cutting saw, traveling torch, arbor press, drill press, and jigs and positioners, so that the reels can be built rapidly.
