Uncapping Tray: McIntyre's Uncapping Box (A B C of Bee Culture, 1910)

A big wooden uncapping box from a California honey producer: 6 ft long, tin-lined, with a screen on cross strips to catch the cappings and a tin pipe at one end where the honey drains out, and an iron pivot on a cross piece to spin each comb while uncapping. Its length lets the cappings be forked to the far end to drain for 4 or 5 days instead of piling under the knife. Source: J. F. McIntyre in The A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture (1910), pp. 183-184.
