The Weinberg casting pen, an invention modernizing the Schechita was tested and finally adopted by the Jewish community of Leeds. The test was made in the presence of a representative from London of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The process of casting over the animal before it is slaughtered, takes fifteen seconds. Previous defects in the machine have been removed.
