In the '50's, half gang: 2 tiers, 3 primers (pickers). No kiln
hanger. Before lunch the tied sticks were hung by the primers who just got in from the field. They chained up and hung up all the sticks. Find this shit on the net assholes. I've a lot more knowledge regarding tobacco. And how the tobacco farm slowly became more and more automated. The elevator came into being sometime in the late '50's or early 60's. It was basically an adjustable ramp with a conveyor belt. The tied sticks were placed upon it and sent up to the kiln hanger. He took the stick off, hung it, and waited for the next one which was more than likely already there. You want to know about my job at uniroyal; the #2 treadtuber? Or more knowlege about tobacco. |

The priming aid came in around 1973. The tying machine a few years before that. The tying machine is one big assed mother ****ing sewing machine. Leaves are put down, a stick is put down on top of it, and leaves on top of the stick. Then the whole thing moves down and is sewed up. When finished it is placed upon the elevator and sent up to the kiln hanger. No more tier's needed. The priming aid. Before the priming aid, the primers (pickers) used to walk among the rows and pick leaves. When they had a good armful they walked over to the boat (a sled drawn by a horse) and put in their bundle of tobacco. and so on. When the priming aid came into being, the horse was done. The primers sat upon a chair and the machine moved through the fields. The primers picked leaves as they were moving through the fields. Back in the '80's, there was an autoprimer. No men needed. The machine moved through the fields, guided by the pilot, and broke off appropriate leaves. No primers needed. This method didn't catch on too much, because many of the leaves became broken etc. And a broken tobacco leaf does not fetch as much dinero as a non broken high quality one. Need more info shithead? Don't hesitate to ask. My knowlege is more important than that of a lawyer/accountant/non-hacker. I know how to dig holes. |
