Well, my uncle once owned part-interest in a (manual) chicken-processing plant. It didn't process anything like 3/sec, but they did move right through. The secret (if you want to call it that) is that the chickens don't go through right-side-up. Their feet are tied to an overhead belt. How they deal with the killing part is a question, true; in my uncle's plant there was a human with a BIG knife. By the time the little beggars made it to the de-feathering bath they weren't any problem. -- -------- Mike O'Brien obrien@aerospace.aero.org aero!obrien
