During the Second World War there was a large demand for flax for the manufacture of parachutes and other fibre-based supplies. When European sources of flax were cut-off, the flax industry was promoted in Canada to replace the lost supply. Forano produced this puller in answer to the new demand for handling equipment. - Function
