IH made the first one row cotton picker and mounted it on an H. I think the original prototype is still on display at the Smithsonian (I saw it there in 1967 and again in about 1987). The first was built in the late 1930's but did not see wide acceptance until the late 1950's. Reason for the delay in certain areas was the limitations of the gins. Picker cotton was trashy and had to be cleaned prior to ginning. Old gins built for hand picked cotton did not have the cleaning combs needed for picker picked cotton. All the new gins built after the 1940's did include cleaners if the owner was worth his salt. I am sure some of the old gins were retrofit with cleaners. Of the 4 gins in my home town in the 50's and 60's one old gin did not have cleaners and was taken out of service by the mid 60's. At the last it was used to gin the small amount of hand picked cotton from small operations.
