| Summary: | skinning vbl n Then the companies got skinning machines to skin the pelts in place of the men [in 1925]. .The machines were quicker. We had two and they were capable of doing 6,000 to 7,000 pelts a day. First the pelt would go through a band knife on a conveyor and that would take the fat off down to one-quarter inch of the skin. Then it would go through a fleshing which was a cylinder with a rubber roller so it couldn't damage the pelt. PRINTED ITEM DNE Sup er?
