Description
Wilson's patented rotary grater consists of a cylinder that "is perforated with small round holes, having an upward inclination, so as to form an overhanging cutting-lip, uneven and jagged, while the lower sides of the holes are smooth, and free from jagged points, thus forming a very effective grater, having little liability to clog."
