Abstract
A saw type gin stand for separating cotton lint from seed cotton in which the improvement comprises one or more of the inwardly facing surfaces of the roll box being movably adapted to re-shape the roll box. Specifically the inner surface of the roll box door member and a seed roll retaining member are adjustable during operation of the gin to re-shape the shape of the gin to optimize performance and, when the breast is opened, to retain the seed roll within the roll box and prevent pieces of the seed roll from breaking off of the roll.
