1937

The first collection started with the beginning of the flow the second was taken 5 minutes after the finish of the first and the third 10 minutes after the finish of the second. [...] The horizontal movement of the tucker causes compression of the straw within the baling chamber by the resistance offered to the outward passage of the bales within the open compartment. [...] As the bale moves on after it has been tied the tongue of the bell comes in contact with the wire round this bale and as it approaches the corner of the two sides of the bale it becomes raised by the.stretched wire and in doing so with the onward movement of the bale it slips over releasing the wire and striking against the face of the bell as it falls back. [...] Two of them are responsible for heaping the straw continuously on to the feed table another stands on the feed table and pushes large lots of straw into the feeding chamber while two are employed one on either side of the open compartment—to thread the tie wires through the grooves in the blocks and tie the bales as they pass through the compartment. [...] In view of the large imports of dry chillies and the fact that the best variety in the trade can now be produced locally every effort should be made to extend the cultivation of dry chillies of the Tuticorin variety in the Island.
