Iron Chink

What is Iron Chink?


1.

An automated device once used in processing fish, particularly salmon. The term derives from the fact that in the early history of the U.S. fishing industry, individuals of Chinese extraction were often employed in fish canneries. The "iron chink" displaced many Chinese workers.

There's an iron chink on display at the Museum of History and Industry.
