Abstract
A system for continuously analyzing cotton moving through a chute in a processing plant comprising cyclically displacing a small mass of cotton from its pathway through the chute toward one of the side walls, and pressing the mass against such side wall so that the mass presents a face of uniform cotton density on that part of the mass which is pressed against the side wall, so that the mass may be accurately analyzed for properties such as color, trash content, and/or moisture content; and removing pressure from the mass after analysis, to permit it to resume its movement through the chute.
