THE OLDEST MOVING MACHINES, though
very rude, were used by the GauIs.
cart, having blades in front, was pushed
forward into the grain by oxen hitched be-
hind, and thus cut oil the heads. A sys-
TEN of six rotating scythes was made by
Joseph Boyce in 1893, and an attempt to
use the same principle was made by Com
pertz and Mason, in 1852. In lsll-lsl5,
Smith of Deanstone brought out a machine
in which short vertical revolving cylin-
der carried knife on its lower end, but all
these rotating machines haye proved inn
practicable. Robert Meares, in FrOme in
Somersetshirc, established in 1900 the shear
principle as the only practical one. Salm-
on, in Woburn in 1907 built machine with
row of blades and fingers moving over
them, and also applied the reel. The Scotch
parson, Patrick Bell, OF TOriarshre, in
1926, and William Manning of Plainield,
New Jersey, in 1892, were the founders of
the present style of machines. Manning
was the first To attach the draught at the
side OF the machines, all others having been
pushed from behind. Obed Husscy of Gin
cinnaI attached the side platform and slit
finger. Mccormick, then of Rock bridge,
Va, now of Chicago, in 1885 improved the
Manning aud Hussey machine, and the ap-
pearance of these at the London expOsi-
tion, in 1851, was the signal of their intro
ducliOn into general use. The Oldest
threshing machine Except the antiques)
was made by Michael Menzies, in 1923, or
perhaps at the same time by Tull, consist
Ing Of a rotating cylinder with fails. Sew
eral others followed shortly, some like a
fiour-mill, and in 1892, Willoughby of Bed
| ford made one like that of Menzies, which
Won Thaer brought To Germany, and which
served as a model lor tho Mecklenburg
thrasher. The machine Of James Ward
ropp of Ampthell, in Virginia, is on sim
liar principle, only the beaters are sticks
moving up and down. Finally, in 1885
Andrew Meikle of Tyningham, East Lo'
THAN, laid the foundation OF the present
form, by using a drum with four beaters
parallel to its axis, that carried the grain
between itself and concave, furnished
with similar rods. An American, named
Moflit, in 1854, substituted spikes for the
rods, though the Mekle machine adhere
TO the old system.
