Your query as to whether it is possible to set from the
auxiliary magazine and main magazines simultaneously?
Yes, the mixer allowed the operator to set from two main
magazines and one auxiliary magazine. We have a Harris-
Intertype model G4 - 4sm in our museum in Wellington. It is the "last word" in the manually operated linecasters - it also has power shift to change magazines, weighs around
two tons plus; it did have a six-mold wheel but we modified it to a four-mold.
A great machine but intimidating to the uninitiated!
