Stop Attachment for Cotton-Gins.

Patent for "automatic stop attachments for cotton ginning and condensing apparatus; and it has for its objects to provide a new and useful attachment of this character operated in connection with a gin-condenser and gin-feeder to provide positive means for automatically stopping the ginning operation and the feed of cotton in the event of the condenser becoming choked, which choking often wrecks the gin-brush, ruins the saws, and creates fire by friction."
