Abstract

The flock delivery system employs a microcomputer with a storage cell for each marker and a storage cell for each stretch of path (containing one or more bale groups) between the markers. The control system is conditional selectively to "permit" or "inhibit" extraction of flocks from bales in each block individually. Various flock bending combinations can be obtained from time-to-time by programming of the control system.
