Four-foot-long segments
of three cane varieties
are extracted sequentially in this 1-min silent movie
clip. The varieties are Georgia Red (courtesy of Don
Dean), Ole Timey Green (again, courtesy of Don Dean),
and C.P. 52-48 (a very hard syrup cane that performs
well in S.W. Georgia), respectively. The mill is a mechanized
Goldens' No. 2 (New Model) set for about 50% extraction.
The files are 3.5 MB so the modem user may wish to occupy
him- or herself otherwise during the download. The
clock in the background is my memento from the laboratory
of Florida State biophysicist Hans Gaffron (1902-1979),
a pioneer in photosynthesis.
(Many
thanks to my student Danielle Sherdan for making
this clip.)
