RAJ implements, report that we have examined the
GRAIN CLIPPER INVENTED BY MR. r. PECK +
Santa Clara county, called "Pecks California Clip
per-, and saw it operating in grain fields Th Ma
chine cuts swah Nine Feet Four Inches In width
mas an apron or elevator the width of the length of
the knife, which carries up angle Of about ortv
five degrees the grain cut of and throws it into an
other apron or elevator about two feet wide, and run
ming at right angles to the first elevator and drops
the grain into u wagon that runs alongside She Cp-
per TO receive IT, The Clipper requires four horses to
propel IL and to direct IT, and three warons
to receive and haul away the grain, and driver for
each wagon and to unload it, and haud to loai the
grain in the wagon while it receives IL from the Cln-
per- requiring only five hands in all. l will cut and
stack TWENTY FIVE ACRE. A DAY, when the crian
| stands up.
1t has reel, and will gather grain well, even fit
nclnes at an angle Of forty-ive degrees in an oppo
site direction from which the machine is moving. 1t
VIII cut within three inches of the ground or three feet
high, and can be elevated lowered instantly and
without stopping the team and gathers the grain So
eeauy and perfectly that hardly head is LETT on the
ground. The machine rests two main wheels each
OF which has cog wheel fastened into the smokes
about midway between the rim and the hub One
wheel drives the elevators and reel and the other the
sickle. The machine is OF the most simple coustruc-
ton; one examining il will wonder why such invention
has not long ago been in use. We do not hesitate TO
soy that this machine EXCELS ALL OTIIEl greatly
H. simplicity of construction, being less liable to
get out Of order, in durability, in in operating
IN the quantity OF grain il will cut AMI the excellent
manner in which il performs its work.
