Like all the other reels it fastens to the front of the combine on reel arms. Five horizontal slats rotate to push the gain against the sickle bar. Rotating on a triangular pat tern, the bats push the grain to the auger which pulls the grain underneath and moves it to the center of the combine into the cylinder and the threshing pro' cess. The secret of this reel is the triangular pattern as oppos ed to the usual circular patterns. The main object of reels is to get the grain into the com- ine without loss. The bats or slats travel on four separate chains and are controlled and maintained in a vertical position by another chain operating on an eccentric. The reel turns at ground speed. "Necessity is truly the moth er of invention . In trying to save his own grain, Gar came up with this idea. He needed someone to help him who had time, experience and interest He found that someone in Bill WVatherford. Bill Weatherford Bill has a welding experience 01 many years. He got his first taste of welding while in high school in Wisconsin. He took ad ditional training from Lincoln Welding. His natural knack plus his training kept him in is chosen field for a span of a score or more years. He work ed all over Alaska for Puget Sound Bridge and Dredge Co. It was welding that bought him a ranch. He was reared on the wheat ranch country of Gil liam County. His dad had one requirement of his sons that they learn how to drive a six horse hitch before they got to drive a tractor. Bill says the best part of the good old horse and buggy days and the days of the kerosene lamp is that "they're gone"! When the steel is cut on the electric fast cutting saw, thfe plant looks lik the 4th of July with the sparks flying. The "spi der" parts are assembled on a jig. There are four "spiders" on a reel, one welded to a control panel which is cut from one quarter inch flat steel with a traveling torch. The "spiders" are a vital part of the reel. The "spiders" hold the sprockets that carry the chain that moves the slats. When the parts have all been cut out and welded, then the assembling starts.
