It is like a glass candelabra of some sort and through which a powerful air current flows upwards dragging the seed to one branch and leaving the chaff in another. It cleaned lots of seeds in a few seconds. Send a message to Holly Forbes and I am sure she will give you the name, brand and details.Good luck Alberto _________________________________________________________________ Charla con tus amigos en línea mediante MSN Messenger: http://messenger.latam.msn.com/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
