the newest and the best, a Swan
son Roel, the idea of Gar Swan
son. lone. 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

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.
