The Woolshed.

This photograph is looking over the Ajax woolpress towards the two shearing stands.
The leather belt hanging from the overhead shaft to the floor connects to the engine.
The shearer connects his handpiece to the covered shaft which hangs from the overhead shaft.
Pulling on a piece of rope or leather engages the mechanism that drives the clippers.
The shearer from No 1 stand catches sheep from the pen which is behind the broom.
He pushes the sheep down the chute dimly seen at the far right of the photograph.
       While the shearer fetches another sheep the rouseabout picks up the fleece and
flings it over the classing table (around to the right)
               The shorter parts of the fleece are "skirted" from the fleece and any defective parts removed.
                  The fleece is then rolled up and placed in a bin, or placed directly in the woolpress.
