DINKINS MAKES STRINGER FOR TOBACCO WORK Delbert R. Dinkins of Yadkin Invents First Machine of Its Kind IS A GREAT TIME SAVER Briggs-Shaffner Company, of I Winston-Salem, has begun work on producing the Tobacco Stringer, a machine to put tobacco on the sticks for curing, it has been learned. This machine, invented by Del bert R. Dinkins, of East Bend, Yadkin county, in the King I Knobs section, was patented I jointly by him and the Briggs- Shaffner Company. Mr. Dinkins, the originator of I the machine, who has been a to jbacco grower for more than 25 years, had been working on the principle for nearly 10 years be fore he made a working model. He then took the principle to Briggs-Shaffner Company who quickly became interested in it. The patent letters were readily obtained iiuiu cue uiiiccCi oltttcs patent office and covered several I new and basic claims. The ma chine is the first of anything in its nature appearing on the mar ket. Ralph T. Stewart, engineer with the Briggs-Shaffner Co., is credited with the development of I the basic principles. In collab oration with the inventor for the past three years, he has planned and built model after model until he regards the machine entirely clear of all mechanical weak nesses. The manufacturers are con vinced the machine will revo lutionize the handling of green tobacco at the bam. It weighs only a few pounds. A child can operate it. Only a few hours are required to get accustomed to the use of it. The manufacturers say the machine has two principal ad- J vantages over- hand-stringing. One is that it will speed up the work appreciably without any in creased effort. The other is that when the tobacco is ready to be | taken off the stick the twine can ibe simply "raveled out," like the seam in a gunny sack. This takes only a matter of two or three seconds and leaves no twine in the tobacco. Mr. Dinkins stated the other day that some of the machines would be ready for this season's I tobacco crop, but not a great | many of them could be marketed I until next year. ■ MAPLE SPRINGS Several people from this com munity have been attending the revival meeting at Little Elkin during the past week.
