(under subclass 13.5) Machine wherein each of at least two of the operating assemblages comprises two generally cylindrical members rotating in opposite angular directions on generally parallel axes and spaced apart a distance sufficient to admit vegetation or crop between the cylindrical peripheries of said members.
(1) Note. The roller-couple described above is called a "snapping unit" if it pulls vegetation (usually corn) from the stalk and called a "husking unit" if it removes the outer husk from an ear of corn.
(2) Note. In some harvesters one axis is common to one roller of a snapping unit and one roller of a husking unit, and another parallel axis is common to the other roller of said snapping unit and the other roller of said husking unit. However, each unit functions without regard to the other, therefore the structure is proper for this subclass.
