The `bottles are usually packed with cardboard strips 211, placed between the rows thereof, and these strips are caught betweentwo `pairs of ef;- tensions 212 Vand 213 firedto the ridges 141 on the drum, these extensions being disposed between each row of depressions 142 as niost clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
As each row of bottles is carried around over the top of the drum FD, the'bottles slide down t-o the leading end of the depres- 1 sions 142 against the abutments144 as shown in Fig. 2 and are finally 'picked off of the drum by the fingers 153 on the inner wall of the bottle catching compartment 150, which i fingers pass under the edges of the bottles in the grooves 154 shown in- Fig..7.
