Les organes de liage. Formation de la balle. Sur les plus petites machines, chaque balle n'est liée que par un lien alors que sur la majorité des autres on en utilise deux. La confection de chaque lien demande un ensemble composé d'un noueur et d'une aiguille. Les noueurs sont placés au-dessus du canal de compression, les aiguilles en dessous. La ficelle provenant des boîtes contenant les pelotes est acheminée jusqu'à l'aiguille qu'elle traverse pour monter verticalement dans le canal jusqu'au pince ficelle [...] qui la retient prisonnière; le piston pousse du fourrage dans les boucles ainsi formées jusqu'au moment du déclenchement du nouage provoquant la montée des aiguilles qui terminent chaque boucle en ceinturant la botte et entraînant la confection du nœud [...] 1, record 2, French, - aiguille
