The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1859-05-25

In England, July ~, 1901.
Manufactured by the Patentee, at
Canton, Ohio.
ITO this Machine as a Mower, was awarded the
i highest number OF credit marks t6ll at the
Great National Trial OF ReRpers and Mowers, helC
al Syracuse, N. Y. In 1857.
This fact becoming known to a certnin member OF
the firm OF Ball. Aultman Il Co who were more
deeply interested in the Aultman and Miller Ms-
chine, which had only received thirty six credit
marks, a letter was written without my know edge
or consent. through q member of the hrm at the
time, TO the Chairman OF the COMMITTED, who upon
the authority of said letter. and witbor I consHlt .ng
the other members, changed the award to the Ault.
m; n and Miller Machine, which had only received
~thirty.siX credit marks. as above stated. Use tG-
bic. D.. page s., Report OF ConlIniuee.
Therefore, until a majority of said Committee
acknowledge that they committed a blunder in
s living my Machine the highest number OF credf,
marks, hen they really intended to give II TO the
! Aultman ana Miller Machine, ! shall claim for my
Machine, the Grand Cold Medal, offered at that
Trial.
1t Is, however, my design TO call ntten-
ton more particularly, 70 my improved Ono
Mower and Reaper This Machine, though exts1.
sively manufactured and sold during the haTvesis
I 1856 and 1857, for reasons not important to name
| here. was comparatively out OF the market during
the harvest OF 1858 Yet, its triumph over every
competitor was most complete in both the hrst
years OF its existence. 1t is nov again offered TO
the farming public; not as u single Mower alone

two driving wheels. In counec len with each oil
these, is a spur wheel nd pinion, making Tho Ma
chine stronger and more durable than any single

Q. The rela tion between these two driving wheels
is such, that they operate conformity, OF separate

2. The ", light OF the Machine being all placed
upon two wheels instead OF one, the Machine is MOI

tached to it, ns well as TINT of both raker and driv-
ing whceIs;by which the following advantages are
gained: lst, The wheels are proven ed I ON slip

5. The machine, both rs n Reaper md Mower
has a flexible cutter bar, which invariably ndaptt
itself to The uneven sarftce of the ground Miat
is the first successful machine that ever e1fnhinet

The following iG a Statement Of Improvement

Year, many Of Which ae Peculisr to
my Machine alone.
LIST The mechanical execution Of the work, a
we'll as the character Of the materials used in thel
CONSTR elton, is superior to that OF most machine
of the kind.
81. Iilr driving wheels are three feet high, thu
improving the DRAFT. .
81 The machine weighs one hundred and fit
pounds less Than feretoiore.
4th. 1t has an adjustable tongue. by which III
side draft can positively be controlled under all Gil
cumstances. Some machines have little or no sid
draft whilst moving, but have a great deal whils
%reoping. Nothing but an adjustable tongue ca
avoid this diff 'uIty
9Th J he highth of the stuhhie can be change
from one to five inches in an Instane, without stoF
ping the Machine. This is an important impr we
ment, from The fact that il enables the Machine t
