The recent thread with the great threshing photo prompts me ta ask a question; In North America, where there any threshers used that had the baton tier fitted?
Over in England, most threshers had a "threshing deck on the top, and no self feed. The bundles were thrown to the 'feeder' who cut the bundle and let it slip into the cylinder sideways off his arm. The feeder was very particular that the next sheaf arrived before the last one was completely fed into the cylinder (Or drum)
Most cylinders were in the 48" to 52" width, so the sheaf would fit in close to sideways. Going in like that, the straw came out the other end pretty much the same, and there was an automatic tie there, that put two bands around each 'baton'. These batons could be stacked just like the sheaves could, and used for feed or bedding. So... Was this system ever used over here?
