Title: Method and apparatus of feeding cotton to a gin

Abstract: A door is mounted about a vertical axis on the door jambs of a module feeder which is for feeding seed cotton to a cotton gin. The door is mounted to the jambs by a false door.

After the false doors are swung shut, the bottom of the doors are pushed against the bottom of the module to push the cotton into the feeder drums, the feeder drums being angled so that the top is more advanced against the module then the bottom.
