It's hard to discribe, but if you know what a hand grater looks like to grate cheese or cabbage for slaw, this was a big round wheel that had these sharp protrusions that would cut chunks out of the rutabaga. Bite size for cows. The crank would turn the big wheel, and there was a bin on top to hold them. A small spout on the bottom to direct them into the pail. A little bit like the shredding attachment to a food processer, only about 3 ft. in diameter. Wish I could draw on here, I'd make a diagram.
