The cotton gin (shortened form of engine) is used to separate cotton fibers from seeds. It is a wire screen with wire hooks that pull the cotton through the screen. The seeds, if not damaged can be used again to grow more cotton. This gin method can be traced to the 1st Century, evidence can be found in Asia, Africa and North America. The modern Gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793. The Cotton gin could also clean up to 50 pounds of cotton a day.
