IMPROVED PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES.
The large and increasing demand for CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, & CO.’S Steam Engines and Machinery, together with the numerous and flattering testimonials daily received, is a sufficient proof of the high estimation in which they are held, both in this and foreign countries, and renders it quite unnecessary to say much upon the subject in an Advertisement. Already more than two thousand seven hundred have been manufactured, upwards of five hundred of which, of various powers, were disposed of within the last twelve months. Simplicity of construction, combined with correct principles, excellence of workmanship, and quality of materials, are the aim of CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, & CO., in all their manufactures.
Full particulars, in Illustrated Catalogues, on application.
CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, AND CO.’S COMBINED BOULTING, THRASHING, STRAW SHAKING, RIDDLING, AND WINNOWING MACHINE.
This Machine took the First Prize at the Royal Agricultural Society’s Meeting at Lewes, 1852; also at Lincoln, 1854; and at Carlisle, 1855, was awarded the Honorary Silver Medal, with a High Commendation, for the introduction of a Patent Apparatus for Separating the Corn and Delivering it in Sacks ready for Market. This is an object often attempted, but never before effectually accomplished by a Portable Machine. As a proof of the superiority of C., S., & Co.’s Combined Thrashing Machines over all others, they think the following extract, copied from the Judge’s Report of the Royal Agricultural Society’s Meeting, held at Lincoln, 1854, is sufficient to establish their well-earned reputation:—
“Not long since the farmer was satisfied to thrash an increased quantity of corn by the application of steam power to the old thrashing box. Soon he finds he must have his corn partially dressed; but now he must have it finished, sacked, and weighed for market.
“For these last improvements we are much indebted to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth; and here I must remark that they were rather in advance of the Society, for they brought out their finishing Machine at Lewes previously to a prize being offered.
“Portable Thrashing Machines, not exceeding Eight Horse Power, with Straw Shaker, Riddle, and Winnower, that will best prepare for the finishing Dressing Machine—to be driven by Steam.
“The Prize of £20 was awarded to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, the performances of whose Machine were, on the whole, superior to any other, and its construction inferior to none.”
