The "Comminuter" made by the Chicago Pump Company consists of a vertical revolving slotted drum screen, motor driven. The screen is almost completely submerged in the flowing sewage. The sewage passes into the drum through slots and is discharged through an opening at the bottom.(...) any material too large to pass through is cut by stellite cutters on the drum in pieces small enough to pass through the slots. 1, record 1, English, - Comminuter

A general type of screen used for fine screening. It consists of a long rectangular box with three blank sides and an outlet on the fourth side. The outlet is fitted with flat, slotted metal plates over which the pulp suspension is allowed to flow. Screening action is induced by vibrating diaphragms below the plates. The diaphragms produce pulsations in the stock suspension causing acceptable fibers to pass through the slots with showers removing the rejected material at the end of the screen box for subsequent rescreening and final rejection. 2, record 4, English, - flat%20screen
