The sheep shower (194?)

[Music] war [Music] you [Music] Australia's Golden Fleece for so long now an outstanding sector in the Commonwealth stateless yet with all the wealth it has produced there are still some who are slow to benefit from modern scientific development [Music] where would our will check have been we had not replaced hand cheering with the modern hands East come and cutters even the diehards have had to throw away the hand fears and line up with the Machine Age gun Shearer's who can ring their 200 a day knows the value of modern shearing machinery today engineering firms make continual research to develop equipment that will assist the man on the left so that he may keep abreast of the times and modernize his method the wheels of Industry revolves unceasingly great machines turn out the component parts that will make the job of work easier for the gradient hundreds of skilled operators are employed the latest types of machines are used all working to modernize primary industry and help build a nation's wealth as with modern manufacturing letters so too must rural industry becomes streamlined if it hopes to survive old-fashioned swim bars have service well but as with the hand years we put aside our plunger as relics of the past [Music] [Music] the sheep shower stalls and simplifies one of the biggest problems in cheap handling and make swim marketing obsolete this method of sheep showering updates all other methods keep showering saves both time and labor less men are needed yet the job can be done more quickly three men can easily handle eight hundred sheep and they are this speed is quite practical even with old use which are more difficult to handle than younger sheep because the shower pens are of narrow rates design there is no difficulty in filling each enclosure know carrying forcing or pushing the sheep as with other methods all the sheep do is walk in and walk out losses from injury are eliminated particularly with use in lamps exhaustive tests have proven that each sheep is completely and uniformly saturated [Music] the wash is distributed by top and bottom not the top nozzles give a fan type straight they operate with a punker action which allows the sheets 30 of breathing time so more than 16 inches apart and ensure the complete wedding of the bellies legs and all parts below the back both the top and bottom nozzles are non clogging and operates simultaneously after showering the sheeple it out into specially constructed draining pins they walk out as easily as they walk in just as you do with the taxation department and feeling just as good the platforms are constructed with a fall towards the well n all the wash must run back into the world through the strainers dip is not wasted the wash is used right down to the last gallon and does not become fouled with fallen matter or weakened in strength Peyton strainers make sure that clean dip is possible at all times the dropping pitkin strainers are designed to keep the droppings from breaking up in the strainer this means perfect straining the circular 500-gallon wells were holding the wash is fitted with an agitator placed at the bottom of the well with this type of sheep char the agitator is standard equipment saara agitation and mixing are obtained at all times insoluble powder did particles are always kept in suspension the wash is pumped from the world of the nozzle by a 2-inch some typical countries especially designed for the purposes pump runs in ball bearings no other pump can be substituted the wash is quickly and easily diverted from nozzles to agitator and vice versa by quick acting levers a quarter turns out the trick the world can be emptied simply by turning the leaver to the required position instruction books issued with this equipment make it a simple matter for the practical man to install and erect a sheep shower himself if desired the manufacturers can arrange for contractors who specialize in this instruction of this equipment the job is done quickly and efficiently the site selectors should be as level as possible and preferably in a position where there's plenty of shade the first job is to measure up the area and take out the position for the shower platforms for dropping pit and the well [Music] when the position for the well is measured digging can begin immediately and if you have any muscular manpower handy take a lesson in digging from this little chat the excavated earth is flown in the convenient position between the shower platform this earth will be used as a base for the platform to make the raised side for the shower platform forming is placed in position on either side supports are driven in to hold the forming up right and it is check for level the excavated earth from the well is spread evenly over the platform area to raise the shower platform and provide the correct fall towards the well end a layer of sand is spread over the earth and the platform is leveled off the foundation must be strong so a wire mesh is laid on top of the sand this wire acts as a reinforcement and strengthens the concrete platform to complete the foundation of course concrete is spread evenly over the shower platform area hey dick what's the hurry [Music] when spreading the concrete to fall towards the well end is maintained the forming czar kept to settle a concrete inside them when the platform area is fully concreted it is evened up to give the platform a clean smooth finish cement is spread over the course concrete and the platform is leveled off for the last time these foundations are being laid for the double rate sheet shark with the first platform completed the process is repeated for the other race and for the dropping pit and well here the complete layout in concrete [Music] the foundation for the dropping tip baffle wall come stand and drain the construction of the dropping pit and baffle wall which ensure that the watch passes through the dropping pitch before returning to the world with the well completed the suction pipe is fitted in the position the framework for the enclosures is assembled separately and carried onto the platform area the uprights are cemented into holes which are cast in the platform this makes a strong permanent job the enclosures are completed by fitting sheets of galvanized iron to the sides of the upright the corrugated sheets are put on with the edges out to prevent the sheet from cutting themselves [Music] the bottom nozzles are carried into place and both the top and bottom nozzles are connected to the pump and all other pipe connections make a gate is placed on both ends of the shower enclosures and the shower assembly is completed single race units are constructed on exactly the same principle and make the small flock owner independent of outside help he can do the job when and how he likes he knows that his sheep are effectively treated and does not have to put his flock through dirty [Music] today the man on the land is an engineer in his own right using the latest equipment to increase production and improve his standards a large part of Australia's future lies in her wool industry the flock donors who adapt his property to the latest requirement is not only helping himself he is proving with the modern wool industry of Australia he'll leads the world [Music] [Music] you you
