Aside from it's utility for threshing
operations in transit the engine is
splendidly adapted for attaching to a
blowing rig. 1t has double the horse

admitted to be nearly perfect.
The manual force for the perfect

and great exhaustion of labor in the

How great the possibilities are for

of the Transit engine and thresher. i
