stantly growing fame enjoyed by its products in France and abroad.
xxxx The most stringent cleanliness, the most perfect order
reign everywhere and when in the evening the vast distilling
coppers are resplendent under the rays of the electrical
lighting, the effect is truly magnificent. If, after visiting the
distillery, we make our way right or left, we enter two large
well-lit rooms, the clamor of which contrasts with the calm
laboratory where two workmen are sufficient to monitor the
distillation and control the equipment. These are the workshops
for preparing and shipping bottles.
xxxx The rinsing machines, manned by eight workers, make
the bottles turn between fixed brushes, under hot water jets;
they come out perfectly clear, drain on pivoting draining racks
and pass to the filling machines which fill them at a rate of 20 a
minute; this machine, a little marvel, is special at the Pernod
house; it is the work of the technical director, Mr. Arthur
Borel, who with meticulous care occupies himself with the
improvement of the equipment.
xxxx The filled bottles come from there to the corkers, who
only have to place them under their machines, which, driven
by an ingenious mechanism, insert the stopper automatically.
xxxx The bottles then pass to the hands of the labelers, who
affix labels gummed on the rubber cylinders
