Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit February 10, 1913, No. 175 (American Mfg. Co. v. Maslanka)

LACOMBE, Circuit Judge.

The machine at which plaintiff was working was known as a picker. It was used to tear old bagging and rope into shreds. At one end of it was-a movable apron, made of pieces of wood, on which the material to be operated on was fed forward to a set of fluted rollers. These seized the material and passed it inside of the machine, presenting it to a spiked cylinder.
