Domestic
The
Domestic by Landers, Frary & Clark of New Britain, Connecticut has
two interesting features. First, like the Inverted Reading mentioned
in the evolution
section, this parer has the turntable gear inverted, so that parings do not
clog the gear. Second, as mentioned in the gear section, the push-off is
a rack and pinion gear. A projection on the
turntable hits a lever, which
rotates
the modified pinion gear that moves the rack that pushes the pared apple
off the fork. An earlier version of this parer was named the Victor. The
parer above is marked DOMESTIC LANDERS, FRARY & CLARK PAT. JUNE 10, 1873.
