Of this work the Judges of the Lincoln Meeting report—“Too much can scarcely be said in its praise, for it was next to impossible for a machine to thrash and dress corn in a better manner. There was neither tail corn amongst the best, nor best corn amongst the tail; and the latter was again separated into marketable, chicken corn, whites, seeds, &c., each delivered into sacks from separate spouts.”
The above Engraving represents a Six-horse Power Horizontal Cylinder Steam Engine, erected complete upon metal foundation plate, which arrangement renders it easy of removal—an important point to a Tenant Farmer. The principle of this Engine is direct action, which simplifies the whole arrangement, inasmuch as the working parts are fewer in number, more compact, and less likely to get out of repair. Being secured upon one bedplate renders it unnecessary to have any bearings or fastenings in the partition or adjoining walls of the building in which it is inclosed.
It is supplied with Cylindrical Cornish Boiler of ample size and strength, the whole being made of the very best material, fitted and finished in a style equal to any house in the trade.
N.B.—As different situations, in almost every case, involve special arrangements, C. S., & Co. will be happy to furnish Plans and Specifications where fixed machinery is required.
