| THIS FUN TO USE NUTCRACKER WAS INVENTED BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR IN COLUMBUS GEORGIA. DR. HAYWOOD TURNER (NOW DECEASED). IT DERIVES IT'S UNIQUENESS FROM IT'S SOURCE OF POWER AND THE RESULTS IT ACHIEVES....... IT PRODUCES MANY " WHOLE KERNELS".
DR. TURNER NOTICED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS CRACKING NUTS THERE WAS A SPACE BETWEEN THE SHELL AND THE NUTMEAT AND IF A QUICK IMPACT COULD BE PROVIDED THE SHELL WOULD SHATTER BEFORE REACHING THE MEAT.
THE MEANS FOR PROVIDING THE QUICK IMPACT WAS DECIDED UPON TO BE COMMON RUBBER BANDS PRODUCING KINETIC ENERGY (ENERGY PRODUCED BY MOTION) AND THE DESIRED RESULTS OF WHOLE KERNELS WAS PRODUCED BY A RESTRICTION IN TRAVEL OF THE IMPACT TRANSMITTED THROUGH A PISTON TO THE NUT.
THE IMPACT WAS CONTAINED BY PLACING A HEAVY ANVIL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NUT. SINCE HEAVY MEANS DIFFICULT TO MOVE BECAUSE OF INERTIA, HENCE, THE NAME "INERTIA NUTCRACKER". THE CRACKER ITSELF IS CLASSIFIED AS AN IMPACT TYPE NUTCRACKER.
THE NAME "TEXAS NATIVE" WAS TRADEMARKED FOR THOSE GREAT TEXAS NATIVE PECANS THOUGH THE CRACKER HAS ALWAYS BEEN MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO A YOUNG MEMBER OF A PROMINENT NC BANKING FAMILY WHO RECOGNIZED IT'S POTENTIAL, BOUGHT THE PATENTS, ARRANGED MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTED THRU ALL THE MAJOR CHAIN STORES ASSISTED BY SATURATION TYPE TV ADVERTISING. DURING THE EARLY 70's.
SINCE THEN, BILL THE NUTCRACKER GUY , HAS BEEN THE PRINCIPAL PROVIDER OF THIS UNIQUE AND USEFUL PRODUCT AND HAS DISCOVERED A VERY UNUSUAL ITEM OF INTEREST CONCERNING NUTCRACKER BUYERS. THEY ARE ALL VERY HONEST. IN THE over 30 YEARS OF HIS ASSOCIATION WITH THIS PRODUCT HE HAS ONLY HAD 3-4 "BAD CHECKS". WHO ELSE CAN SAY THAT ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS?
TO OPERATE : PLACE THE NUTCRACKER ON A TABLE WITH THE LITTLE LEG HANGING OFF THE EDGE. HOLD THE HEAVY STEEL PIECE IN THE LEFT HAND THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. PLACE A NUT BETWEEN THE HEAVY STEEL PIECE AND THE PISTON. SLIDE THE COVER OF THE HEAVY STEEL PIECE OVER THE NUT TO PREVENT SHELL SCATTER. WITH THE RIGHT HAND PULL BACK ON THE HANDLE TO THE STOP AND RELEASE QUICKLY. OPEN THE SHIELD TO REMOVE THE CRACKED NUT. REPEAT AS OFTEN AS DESIRED. ADD OR SUBTRACT THE NUMBER OF POWER BANDS AS NEEDED. INSURE A DOUBLED BAND AROUND THE SCREWS ON THE SHIELD TO ACHIEVE THE SPRING LOADED EFFECT. KIDS ESPECIALLY ENJOY USING THE INERTIA NUTCRACKER. THANKS FOR BUYING........ BILL , THE NUTCRACKER GUY
