This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library stielves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vmy country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways lo the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we me merely Iheir custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of The files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermaik" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

The inrentor proposes to drain land by drawing the ilrain
pipes throagb the subsoil by meana of a plough. This plough
is fitted with a coulter paseing down vertically into the earth
and having a foot resembling a share in ehape. The coulter
ia capable of lacing raised or depressed by a rack and gear.
To the foot or shoe of the coulter is attached by suitable means
a ir>pe which pasaes through the series of pipes or tubes in-
tended to be drawn into the channel formed by the plough,
i Knd at the other end of the rope is a Himilnr contrivance for
the attachment of yet another string of pipes. Square ot
aoguUr pipes may be used &a well as cylindrical pipes.
A share of suitable form being used the draught bar of the
OUTtag« is attached to & frame that travels in front of the
plough upon a small roller, and carries a pulley around which
a wire rope paaaea, oonneoting the plough to a windlaes ; or,
when the plough is required to go foster, the pulley is dispensed
vith, and the rope from the windlass is connected to the
dtsn^lit bar. The windlass barrel is keyed to on upright

^■Illd tlirow oft the earth. Thifl is cffiect«d by two cranks one
»btm Mill one below a point on tlie handle of the fork when
h, is pivatteil to a. lixed poiut. Tbe upper orank forces down
tlie fork, and when the fork is HufGdentlj deep in the grtraad
tlie eeoond rraiik forces the fork hantUe bock, the pressure
of the fint cntuk down still ooutinning so that the fork is niised
to a tuuisontal position. The coiuioctiug link from the lower
I ennlc IB attached to a. slide on the luuidle wliicli slides ovet
a short wrew on tbe bandle and thereby rotates the handle.
Ihiring this movement the lanehine is advancing at a slow
I«te^ so that when each fork, kc, again descenila, it will act
on fresh gronod. To cut through the surface of tbe earth ia
parallel liues between the forks, a shaft, oarrjing a series of
cmting discs, is applied to the machine in a horiEontal
posittcm, near the ground, and just iu front of the line uf
fotka. Instead of the lower erouk, » seoond crank may h«
arranged over tUc forks. It may also be caused to work the
tnrning action of the forks " by a bell crauk or pulley action"
or otberwise. Also, instead of tlie second lower crank, pulleys
on tbe upper ci'ank abaft nasy be arraugeil to effect the required
mwremeut. It is likewise stated Uiat " the necessary digging
" action may be efTeoted by grapes fast on a oouliunously
" revolving shaft having fixed or adjustable serapere, so
" planned aa to remove the earth carried up by each grape in
" its revolution, the object in all cases being to produce a
** meclinuical digging action, assimilated as closely as possible
" to the priniuple of manual digging."

The movement of the nike is somewhat complicated. It
acts acKMB the platform at the buji of the cutters. "In Uie
" samr vertical plane with the centre of the axle of one of the
" mnning wheels " is fiied a " vertical support " " having n
" rocking or partial rotatory motion in a footstep bearing at

is fitted, one end of which ie cormected by a ball aoil socket
joint to the inside of the rim of a bevel wheel mounted on a
horizontal shaft opposite the vertical support. The eSetVt of
this is to rotate the support on its axis to-nntl-fro, and also to
give an up-and-down motion to the lever. An antifriction
roller at tlie end of the l>ent lever works in a slot in n second
lever connected to the sliank of the take. The upper end of
the uhank is connected by an iron rod to the top of the vertical
enpport. A spring pressiug agiunet this rod serves to steady
the action of the rake. An iron plate is suspended from an
arm on the vertical snpport, and is moved to-aud-tro by n rod
from the lever attached to the rake shank and a pair of spnugs.
The action of the apparatus is that the cut crop is brought by
the rake ngainst the plate. " By a pisrtial turn of the vertical
" support Uie bundle is brought over the back edge of the

The apparatns is mounted on a frame carried by a pair of
rtuming wheels. From the side of these wheels motion is given
to a nnmber of wheels carrying dibbles set radially aud free to
tnni in their sockets. On each dibble is a cross-bar, which,
as the dibble is leaving the gronnd, strikes against a slop and
tbos canses the dibble to rotiitc and twist out of the hole.
When drills are required the wheels iub removed and a set of
fixed ah&ree substituted. The wheels may also be ttsed for
elad-crashiDg, ic. For sowing there are a number of seed
I boxen, one to each dibbling wheel. The seed ia fed from a
bopper into the boi, against one side of which is a revolving
circular plate with oouotersuuk apertoies round its rim.
These take up the seeds and deliver them to a " depositor

The drawing attftched to the ProTiaiooal Specification re-
preeeota a digging machine fitted with endleas chains working
lound chain wheels on two horizontal sbafte, and canying
transTCTse ribs, ao as to form " a moveable platform for men,
" horeea, osen, &c., to walk upon for the pnrpoae of working
" the machine ; " but it is also stated that the machinery maj>
be worked bj steam power. Motion is tranBmittcd from the
moving platform or steam-engine to a horizontal shaft on the
top of a caat-iron frame at the back of the machine. This
shaft is fnmiBhed with several escentxics or cranks, conaected
by rods to the hinder ends of a like number of straight levers,
which turn at their foremost ends upon a horizontal aiis be-
neath the cast-iron frame ; aoid the hind ends of the levers are
also united by links to short cross pieces, carrying the digging
forks or spadee. From each cross piece an arm projecte back-
wards and is connected by a rod to the lower end of a long
curved Jever, which turns near its upper end upon a hori-
zoulal axis at the front of tlie cast-iron frame. At the top
the several cnrved levers are united lo shding pieces, actuat^
by cama on the shaft that carries the eicentrics. The vibratory
movement thus imparted to the curved levers causes the cross
pieces with the forks or spades l« turn on the pins which con-
nect them with the Upl™ before mentioned ; the ciceutric rods
alternately depress and raise the forks or spades ; and the
straight levers give them a backward motion as they descend
in the earth. A horizontal shaft, with prongs projecting from
it, revolves at the rear end of the machine in such a position
that its prongs will pass between the prongs of the forks or
Bpades OS they ascend, and, taking the earth therefrom, will
carry it over the shaft and deposit it again upon the land.
When the ground is too loose for forks, close spades are to be
used.
For breaking up stiff and hard soils a shaft provided with
prongs ia substituted for the forks or spades ; and as the shaft
revolves, an up-and-down motion is imparted to it by means of
the eicentric rods.
When the machine is to be employed in cutting trenohea
for drainiug^ land, an endless chain of scoops or baokets is
BUbstitutcd for the forks or spades,

regulating wheels, are bung on vertical arms attached to alictes ,
having a verticul motion for the adjuatment of the wheels, ona
of which runa iii the furrow, the other on the unploughed
gruond. The wheel arms ore alHO " &xe>l on a lever or beam

the otLer end being attached to the pulley carriage, to dra'
the pulley carriage a step forward, while the unvrinding
taking place from off the drum on the plough or

Thirdly, in a metlioil of preventing the plough or tilling
instrument from rifling out of the land, by " leoiliug the

the rope on to a ring, suspended nnder the nxle, and connecteii

The invention conaists, firstly, in the combiniition of upright
winding dnima or barrels, wbeUior geared togotbec or other-
wise, wmI driven by Bteftm or amtable power, with an endless
hanling rope, and also " the so amuiging the apparatne thnt
" the hauling rope may take one or more turns round both of
" the nprigbt barrels or drums," and around one or mora
drama or pnlleys, fixed or anchored at a diatooce. The wiiul-
isg carriage is so contrived that it can be connected with a
stenin engine, the power of wliioh is ooinmnnicoted to one of
the winding druias, both of which may be geared together by
an intermediate pinion.
Secondly, in attaching to the plongh or cultirating imple-
ment, which is arranged to ti'avel in both directions, an appa-
ratus for taking np the slack of the wire rope or drawing tackle.
The apparatus consists of " two dnuaa raouated on axes carried
'• by the fnune, on each of which a eonaiderabJe length, aay
" 60 yards, more or lesa, of the hauling rope is wound." On
the fhtnges of these dniius teeth are formed, wliiuh gear into
the teeth of pinions, the rcBi>eotive ftxes of which have handlea
mpplted, " by turning one of which, according to the direction
'■ in which the plough or implement is travelling, the slack of
" the return nipo ia tikenup." "The hauling rope on tho
" headland, opiioaito to that on which the winding carriage
" and engine traverse, passes round a pulley, mounted on an
" anchorcarri^e, similar h) that described in the speciScatioDB
*' of fonaer Patents," "By using a hauling rope thus prac-
" tioally euiUeaa, the wear of the return rope is greatly dimin-
" iabed by its being kept tight, and to a grant extent off the
" bind." This arrangement also enables a Bocond implement
to be placed on the return rope, as, for example, when working
with a scarifier, a harrow can be put on the rutiuii rope, so as

1. There are " two wheels at the middle of the plough, and,
• ' where neeesBary, one at each end also, in phico of the "
" three, four or more wheels " used in the previoua invention.
These two wheels are "connected by suitftblo rods, and are
" provided with Hteeriug levers eiteuding towards the seal« "
" in such manner that both wheels are turned simultaneously
" by either of the steering levers " as convunient. "' The sets
" of plough:^ are balanced in a similar manner " to that em-
ployed in the previoiis invention and they are raised and
lowered as before. " When moks are useii, the rack bojtea are
" supported by the ailes of the wheels, and are provided
" below with set screws to adjust the depth. " The earth may
be thrown to either side as preferred. The implement figured
in the drawing has two opposite sets of plonghs. It is mounted
on & single pair of wheels ut the middle and baa small wheels
adjustable in height at each end. For steering, the Btaudard of
Cftch wheel has on it acraak connected to a lever carried back
to the plonghmon's scat at eocb end, the two ends being exactly
similar. Both beams are connecteil bj levers to a central
tnuiBVerae shaft, to which is also fixed a double lever extend-
ing to either end of the implement. By raising or depressing
either end of this, one set of ploughs is raised and the otlier
lowered. A second similar lever carries a wheel running ou
the ground, so that it is caused to regulate the depth at which
the ploughs work according to ineqmdities in tlie ground. A
sbp or disengaging hook may be used to connect the short rope
fixed bo the Appanitns to the traction rope, and this may
opeaoi bj " any anitAble obstacle placed on the snntch bl
'* or elsewhere on the arrival of the implement at tlie hi
" land." InBtead of plouglis, acarifyiog impleraent« with

1. A plough ia deBcribed. It consists of a main horizontal
am, supported at the centre by a pair of large running
■heels of which the ime t)u the land side is adjiurtable in
lieight by means of a rock and pinion. To this main btom
a pair of beams is fixed at snch an angle thereto in the same
horizontal plane that the ploughs carried by tliese beams at
Biiitable intervola may a<:t properly on the grooiid. These
ploughs are in two sets, one at each end of the implement, and
are right and left handed respectively. Eoch plongh is carried
by a lever arm joiuteil to a shding piece adjiurtable vertically
on the beam betore-meutioned. The free end of the arm (i.e.,
tlio binder end behind the shore when the plough is in the
ground) ia weighted, and has a chain thereon led to a windLssa

one side are niie«d, and all the oth<?i« lowered. Or there may
be more than a single windlasR aiinilarlv arranged if tlie voik
is too heavy to be effected all at odc«. There is a traetion rope
from each lever arm, close in front of the bar, and all the Topei
from the ploughs of each set are led through separate holes in
a eroeB-bar near the main axle-tree and eonnected to a drangfat
bar on the other iiide of the axle-tree ; the prindptd traction
rope is then eonnected, by means of ft ehort permanent length
of rope, to this bar, and the return rope is hooked on to the end
of the main beam, so that its drag is taken off the plonglu.

bearing wlieels ; the levers at tlie onter ends (we oonaectedi

&e. on them are thus capable of au np-and-duvn panllel
motion only. On each frame is a dmm on whicli the tnction
rope is 'woiind. The pull of tlie rope on this drum depresses
the frame and forces the ploughs, kc. into the ground. This
at the same time rsisee the other frame and lifts its ploughs,
&C. out of the ground.
'2. Instead of all the plougba, ttc. of each eet being at one
end of tlie implement, they may be set with isajl two at one
end and one on tlie otber, frames being arraugi^l so lliat one

Each of these axms, when vertiml, supinirte its tespcvtive

The oViject uf the inveutiou is to provide an arrangement lor

" eo as to afford greater facility for treeing them from the
" collected matter. In carrying out this invention it is pro-
" posed (o apply to tlie inside of the main framing of the

" extending from mde to aide of the main framing. The
" heads of the severnl t«oth are carried by and work freely

" which ia connected by a donble-forked connecting rod to
" an overhead Laud lever, tlie back free end of which works
" in or against a segmental guide. By depressing this lever.
" and engaging it into a catch or notch, the te«th will be
" elevated from the sur&iee of the land, and maintained so

it revolvea with the gathering reel and acta as part thereof
daring port of tho revoliitioii of the roc-l, and during the other
part it is caused to sweep a^rotta the platform nnd discharge
the cot crop therefrom. The mochauiHm by which this is

Tho rake is hinged to a short hollow shaft on tho reel Bpindle,
nnd this is connected to tho reel spindle by joint«d links. At
tho joint of tho Linkii is a roller running in a cam groove on a
fixed disc. The shape of the groove is Buoh na to alter the
relative position of the links and couseqnently the moveraeutB

" The agrieultnral implement forming the subject of my
" invention is a ridge or boating and at the same time a
" roller ploagh. It ia composed of a ploaghshare with double
" mould boards (smaller than for ordinary bonting ploughs)
" and of four conical rollers acting in the inclined plane of the
" ridges. The share, the main object of which is not the
" ridging, breaks the sabsoil, cleans tho water furrows, and
" thns prepares the work of the rollers, which follow it. Tho
" two first, placed on each side the mould hoards, simply
" dress the earth, and the two latter, on the contrarj-, which
" are more open, more inclined, and placed higher, press or
" settle down the earth and close the ridge. Fon^ iron rods
" serve for axles and receive the four conical rollers reversed,
" with their heads downwards. These rods slide freely at
" their upper part in two cross pieces, which may he com-
" pared to tho branches of a compass- The head of this
" composH is ahont twelve inches apart behind the ahare, and
" the two branches, about twenty-eight inches long, play at
" their ends on a cross piece. A screw permits the opening
" to be adjusted at from sixteen to twenty-fonr inches, accord-
" ing to tho greater or lesser pressure required. The inclina-
" tion of the rollers is only two by two, because the filing
" point at the base is the same and the spreading apart of the
'" points of the compass is more or less developed. Lastly, a
'* wheel, abont eight inches in diameter, placed at tho end of
" tho beam, relieves the arms of the labourer, keeps the two
" last rollers at an elevation of say, four inches, in order that
*• they may more easily close the ridge."

The implement is intended to be worked by etenm power.
A trianguliu' fore-cturiago ia mounted on a pair of boariug
wheels at its rear, and a pair o!' steering wheelB. with suitable
handle, in front. The " draft inatmmfnit or apparatus " to
which the traction rope is attached, ia eimilarto that described
in No. 87, A.D. 1866, and ennliloa the implement to be turned
by the drag of the return rope. The "tinoe, proBserB, and
" Beod tubes," are arranged a« in No. 1219, A.D. 1861. These
are m.ouutod in a lever frame, pin-jointed to the rear of the
front framo. ITie fore part of the fore-earriage can be raised
by lever handJcH affixed thereto and extending Ijackwnrds. The
fieed box id moanted on the fore-carriage, and the seed ia raised
from it to ft Huiollor box iminodialQly over the coultera by
meoBH of endlesB cluune CBrrving cups. From this second boi
it paseea to the Bood tubes. The pulleys carrying tho chains
con run loose on their shaft, or be clutched thereto, f o that any
part re([uired of the box may be supplied with seed. The bind
frame ia mounted on o, pair of wheels, and is adjustable as to
height thereon. It can also be raiaed clear of tho ground by
any saitable mochanism.
Instead of the above arrangement, there may lje only a
slngie seed box, over tho coulters, and the frame carrying the
tilling implements is then jointed to tho foi'o carriage at a
point in fixjnt of the main bearing wheels. The object of this
is to cause tbewbole carriage Co balance, in spite of the absence
of the front seed box.

Improvements on No. 2896, A.D. 1861. In that Specification
one of the arms of the reel is so mounted that " when the arm ia

' ' ing therewith, imd itself turns partly round about a vertical
" axis, in the course of which motion the beater aweepa the
" cat crop off the platform." According to the improvements
this motion can be intcrrnpted at will, so as to allow a sufficient
quantity to collect before it is poshed off by the rake. On the
reel shaft is a tube which torus freely thereon. On this tube
ia "a short axis at right angles with the shaft of the reel, and
" on this short axis ia fixed the arm of the clearing beater,
" which is suitably counterpoised." "On the tuljo ia also
" mounted a spring catch, the end of which rests on a Dange
" fixed on the shaft of the reel ; this flange is notched, and so
" long aa the clearing beater arm is revolving with the reel
" the end of the spring catch lays in this notch ; but when

" tho nbare, mould board and coulter," The fore enil of tho
boBni is jointed in a forked utaudard, go that it can swivol on a.
centre placed "ns nearly as possible over the poinl of tho

A series of carved spades are mounted at right angles to
radial levers on a transverse shall across the back of a frame
which in front carries a steam engine. The piston of the
engine operates a lever mounted loosely on a shaft connected
to the spade shaft by an endless chain. The shaft on which
the lever is monnted is of a special curved shape, the curve
being descrilied by mathematicai symbols. This cnrve is
stated to be of sach shape that the end of the lever pivotted
thereon will pass over it in one direction, bat not in the other,
BO that the vibrating motion of the lever may communicate
an alternate rotary motion to the shaft. There is also a hand
lever for operating the shaft. The invcntor'a " patent engine "
may be used, " in which the chimney is a hollow piston and
" piston rod." No reference is given to any Specification
describing euch an engine. According to the Provisional

causes the tube to revolve.
The following improvements also are referred to in the Pro-
visional but not in the Final Specification : —
A roller is fitted at the edge of the platform, to prevent the
crop hanging thereon. This roller may be caused to rotate
rapidly.
The reel is conBtmeted so that the beaters can be brought
nearer to or carried farther from the shaft.
The beaters are carried by aims pin-jointed thereto, and to
tubes sliding on the shaft. By Sxing these tubes at different
points along the shaft, the position of the beaters can be regn-

they are tilted as they revolve by a fised piece or friction roller
suitably situated on the frame. Certain of these arms are

The first part of the invention relates to the delivery
apparatus. The platform is cleared by a rake monnt«d loosely
on a vertical shaft, but capable of being clutched fust thereon.
" 1'he rikke also is capable of taming on a boriKontal pin joint
" near to the vertical axis, so that by taming uu the joint the
" rake can assamc a vertical or horizontal pusitiou." " Placed
" sTouud the vertical axis is also a stutionury cam Burface.

" the inclines of this surface being arranged so that when the
" cake is carried round with the vertical axis, it shall as it
" comes around in front of the knives or cutttrs, aasame a
" position parallel with the arm, and as the axis continues to
" rotate it remains in this position, and sweeps across the
" platform." During the rest of the revolatiou it is tilted up
nearly vertical. Sy releasing the clutch the rake is thrown
oat of action, and tho crop is allowed to accumulate on the
platform. The clutch is so formed that the rake shall always
" come intermediate of the beaters of a reel." " The vertiuul

which are revolved by corda from the stirrer ebatt so as altcr-
nately to open and close the month of the tnbo and tbas
deposit the seed at intervals. At each end of the frame is n lever
for raiaing the frame. By raising the front end, the apparstoB
ia thrown ont of gear, and the delivery of the seed stopped.
The point of the shares can be raised and lowered by a rod
with an adjusting not thereon. In worlung tbis implement
byeteam, steering apparatas is naed.and awheel and ([nndrant
is employed for raising and lowering the frame. The inventor
says, " when working by steam power I «80 two of these
" implemente and fit a reel npon each roond which a Inose
" length of cord is woand. This reel is free to torn forwinding
" in and letting oat the cord or chain as required, and is fixed
" by a ratchet and foot spring pawl ; I connect the two
" implements by the reel cord which passes ronnd the anchor
" pnlley at coie side of the field, and at the opposite aide I
" ptaoe and work the engine and attach the two ends of the
" baaling cord or rope passing ronnd the engine drum to the
" aaid implements." " For raising the implements at the
" headlands I attach a clip rope to the haaling rope and nwd,
" this cHp ropo or chain npon being drawn then lifts the
" implement ont of work."
In the caltivator described, the main bearing wheels are not
aide by side, bat one is in advance of the other.
" These wheels are coupled to the frame " " by mcanx of
" swivel joints." The pole is swivelled on a erosa bar in front
of the frame, and is described as " working in " a second cross
bar behind. There is a " centre swivel wheel " at tho back
for a^usting the height of the implement.
A harrow may be connected with one of tho alx>ve imple-
ments. This harrow has "a nnmlwr of loose bosses on a
" spindle " and these are fitted with hooked teeth " and are
" BO arranged on the shaft that as one set of prongs or toeth

The cutting apparatas maj be of the ordiiuiry character, bnt
the inTcutor prefers to use " a thin sharp-edgeii steel band saw
" or other belt fumiabed with proper cutters working rapidly
" orer riggers or rollers erected on a proper travelling tratae."
A atone or other sharpener may be fitted so as to be bronglit
down on the cutters tc sharpen them. " As the cat com Ealli
" against the machine, it is seized by a system of travelling
" fingers or projections and by them working through the
" proper guides it is gently carried thi'ongh a suitable con-
" dnctor towards the side or rear of the mnchine ; and when
" there is sufficient to form a sheaf a pair of circular arms
" wurying suitable tyers or bands are made to embrace,
" oompreBS and properly fasten the sheaf, and by means of
" cam or other suitable mechanism deliver it on the ground."
" One mode of tying or ihsteniug is with a string with a loop
" formed at each end, one of which loops is cnrried through
" the other by the closing of the arms, and is caught by a
" hook which draws it throngh the loop and efTectually fastens
" the sheaf." The horses may be placed in front or behind,
or the machine may be worked by hand power.
