Did the 'clock face' Foster drums not have external elevators?

The self feeder is a 'rotary' one (rather than canvas conveyer). Fosters promoted wooden wheels quite heavily, right into the '40s and beyond; unlike their competitors, no idea why. Much like their proclivity for reverse forecarriages (as is the case with this machine - note the large 'rear' wheels beneath the straw-walkers).
