Excerpt from Quality and Cost of Ginning American-Egyptian Cotton: Seasons 1952-53 and 1953-54 This study compares the quality of services and the costs of some of the newer, more elaborately equipped plants with those of gins with only a moderate amount of cleaning equipment, and also some older gins with very simple equipment. Performance is compared both for hand-picked and machine picked cotton, because the type of gin equipped to do the best job on machine-picked cotton may not be most suitable for hand-picked cotton, and vice versa.
