Association and was there used during the 1903 peach season under the superintendency of E. H. Kennedy. It thus appears that, prior to the date of Dunkley's application, four Vernon machines had been built and were in commercial use in California.
The Vernon machine was practically a duplication of the machine described in the Dunkley patent. It embraced a tank for containing the disintegrating solu tion of lye or caustic soda through which the peaches were automatically conveyed and a skin removing means consisting of an endless carrier belt for convey ing the peaches between two rotating brushes and a perforated water pipe located above the endless carrier belt and from the perforations of which issued water under pressure and in the form of spray which played on the peaches on the carrier belt. One of the princi pal differences between the Vernon and Dunkley ma chines is that, in the Dunkley machine, the carrier belt H is a brush belt for brushing the peaches as well as conveying them, whereas, in the Vernon machine, the carrier belt was a leather belt serving simply to convey the peaches. By reason of such provision, in the Dunkley machine, of said brushing surface in addi tion to the brushing surface found in the Vernon ma chine, it is apparent that, in the Dunkley machine the action of brushes is more relied on, then in the Vernon machine, as a means of removing the disintegrated skin.
