Alan: The pictures of the topper (HM-1) are accurate. I mounted one on Dad"s tractor enough times to know that. This is an early version; later ones had rolling wheels to lift the beets out similar to modern lifters today instead of points.
The driving jackshaft is located just ahead of the belt pulley drive and has a chain in the case shown to operate the cleaning "rink". The elevator lifting the beets to the cart was driven off the rear of the cleaning rink with another roller chain.
Did you ever use the picking table when conditions were dirty? My hand still smarts from being caught between a 5+# beet & the steel table. The rubber belt wasn"t much cushion!
