different time periods, the progression of the equipment of the cotton gin, going from hand turned, waterpowered, internal combustion and electrical powered. our final phase, the fifth stage of the cotton gin, the machine will do about 10,000 pounds per hour versus 50 pounds per day with the invention of the gin. we just expanded on the efficiency and speed. it's a pretty neat exhibit here, explaining the different time in iod with the cotton gin equipment. in my time, we transferred from hand harvesting cotton, as we show here, it's hard to imagine that we used to harvest 15 million plus bales totally by hand in the u.s. we have transitioned to a harvester that was mule-drawn in 1930 one and transitioned to some of the earlier machines. the first tractor mounted harvester by john deere is in the background. trying to show different aspects of how harvest has transitioned from hand harvest to the modern-day machine we have in the other building. it can harvest up to what 1,000 people would harvest in one day, that machine can do it by itself. one thing we are trying to show off in these areas, s

different time periods of progression of equipment of the cotton gin, going from hand turned, - waterpowered, internal combustion and electrical powered. and the modern generators are all electrical powered. con gin, the machine will do our final phasecon gin, the -- we justl do, expanded on the efficiency and speed. it's a pretty neat exhibit here, timesning the different of the equipment. in my lifetime, we transitioned .rom hand harvesting cotton it is hard to imagine we used to plus bales oflion cotton bought in the u.s.. we've transitioned from that to the one row parts -- built in the 30's, in 31. in transition to some of the earlier machines, the tractor mounting harvester, john deere in the background. trying to show the different how harvest has transitioned from hand harvest to the modern-day machine we had in the other building. to 1000 -- up up to what 1000 people will harvest and one day, the machine can do itself. ,e are also trying to show off somebody that knows nothing about cotton and feel like they can leave here feeling like they've got knowledge. we had a display case wi

five different time periods, the progression of the equipment of the cotton gin, going from hand waterpowered, internal combustion and electrical powered. our final phase, stage of the con gin, the machine will do about 10,000 pounds per hour versus 50 pounds per day with the invention of the continent gin. -- cotton gin. we just expanded on the efficiency and speed. it's a pretty neat exhibit here, explaining the time caring -- time period. in my time, we transferred from hand harvesting, it's hard to imagine that we used to harvest totally by hand in the u.s.. we have transitioned to a drawnster that was mule- in 1931, and then the first tractor mounted harvester by john deere. trying to show different aspects of how harvest has transitioned from hand harvest to the modern-day machine we have in the other building. what 1000vest up to people would harvest in one day, that machine can do it by itself. one thing we are trying to show off in these areas, somebody that knows nothing about cotton can leave here feeling like they got some knowledge. we have a display case with samples of cotton.

to horsem hand turn powered, waterpowered, the steen the steam engine and internal combustion, and allthe gins today are electrical. and the final stage in the cotton gin, the machine there will do about 10,000 pounds per hour, versus 50 pounds per day with the invention. the press has not changed, we have just improved upon the efficiency and speed of it. in my lifetime, we transitioned from hand harvesting cotton to -- it is hard to imagine, we used to harvest 15 plus million barrels of cotton by hand in the u.s., and we have transitioned from that to the one row on exhibit here, built from the 1930's and 1931, and transitioned to some of the earliest machines, the first tractor mounted cotton harvester by john deere is in the background here. trying to show the different havets of how harvests transitioned from before to the modern-day machine. we had the cs 690, which could harvest the amount that it would take over a thousand people to a man -- to gather in the same day. so someone that knows nothing about cotton, they can come here and leave dealing like they know they have some
