Photo taken of a lining out demonstration of Sitka spruce seedlings by the ‘Super Prefer Lining Out Machine’ from France. In time this was to become the standard machine for nurseries and spelled the end of the lining out boards and ploughs. Later a 6 row machine was developed – ‘Accord’?
Off to the left can just be seen a small single row lining out machine operated by one person on the hand lever controls and one person sitting on and placing seedlings into rotating wheel mechanism. See image in next record.
