cold cylinder, the skin becomes firmly frozen to the metal band.

A rapidly oscillating knife (about IOOO strokes per minute) now separates the flesh from the skin, which later drops from the belt as it passes over the warm cylinder. After a special cooling the fillets pass to a machine that overlaps and compresses them into the form of a cylinder which is rapidly wound with a tape of pure vegetable parchment. This taped cylinder is about 3½ inches in diameter and is cut by a rapidly revolving knife into slices ~ inch thick. These slices or steaks are now laid in shallow pans having integrally cast ribs or vanes projecting from the underside. These ribs dip into the freezing solution of brine as the pans skim its surface and the heat is slowly extracted from the fish steaks. Once frozen, only the packaging operation remains. The packages are carefully constructed, are enclosed in moisture-proof cellophane and stored in refrigerated spaces awaiting ultimate consumption. C.
