Binder canvases.

[Richard Hare]

Morning all, I have a question;

I'm wanting to buy some new canvases for the McCormick-Deering type D binder.
(8-foot left hand)

Does anyone have Balster's old size chart?
I went to look at it recently, and the site has now gone since they quit in the business.

Any help most appreciated!

Richard.
PS, I contacted a vendor of binder canvases, but it seems that the make and type, width and year of binder isn't enough.

I have some pages out of an old catalog. I'll try to remember to look for you tonight.

Balsters sold out last year.

I have an old R. Herschcel catalog that lists the following. Fits MC D tractor binder, 8 Ft platform LH binder. Code word WUEFS #BC469 cost $9.00 in 1942. 182X45 inches. First used in 1923 till??
Don't know if that is what you want or not. No mention of type D.

Sounds close, Duner...don't know if there is a difference between tractor and ground drive though.
I gave the vendor the measurements around the rollers, so he was checking to see if standard, and thinks so.
Type D only means it has the Deering knotter. type M had the McCormick knotter. Doesn't affect canvases though.

Thanks for all the replies!!
