Harris Pan

“The Harris pan has the same general form and construction as the foregoing, except that the partitions are made of metal and riveted to the bottom, with openings at short intervals for the under flow of juice from one division or compartment to another. The furnace and the fire are so regulated that the juice boils through the entire length of the pan, and the sirup is brought off in a finished state, entering in a continuous stream as green juice, and being discharged continuously from the opposite end as sirup. The partitions being riveted to the bottom, serve to hold the thin metal of which the bottoms are usually composed even and level.” -Commission, 1865
