Minneapolis Moline and John Deere and probably others were using the rotary cylinders in their corn shellers since way back. 40s &50s for sure , quite possibly in the 30s. White was still building them when they took over Minneapolis Moline in the 70s. Same basic principle used today, a spiral through a cage. Moline's first picker sheller was a corn head mounted on the back end of a Model D sheller with a hopper on top.
