PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Two-horse Drill.
I, JULIUS BERNATH, of the Town of Rimaszombarth, in the Kingdom of Hungary,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in drills, the object of the same being to
simplify the construction, to reduce the costs of manufacture, the attendants and the
manipulation of the same.
The new drill machine differs materially from those now in use as the forward
framework is omitted and the machine placed on two wheels, the axle to which is
rigidly connected to the pole.
A pole is firmly connected to an axle by means of cramps and two stays. In order
to balance the weight of the pole a seed box and the entire drill or sowing mechanism
is arranged to the rear; whereas these parts in other machines are placed above the
axle. In consequence of the seed box being placed to the rear, the distance between
the axle and the shaft of the drill is increased, so that the gear wheels must be made
of increased size or be connected by means of an endless chain. By means of the
aforenamed arrangement the machine is made to operate with great accuracy, which
is not possible with the machines in use as the same are driven from the front frame,
which is connected with the drill mechanism by articulated rods, so that the wheels.
could not run in the furrow.
My improved machine can be drawn by two horses, so that the labourer for leading the
machine as heretofore is not required, and the costs of manufacture are about 20%
less than with other machines.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Two-horse Drill.
I, JULIUS BERNATH, of the Town of Rimaszombarth, in the Kingdom of Hungary,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings
and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say :-
-
My invention relates to improvements in drills, the object of which being to
simplify the construction, to reduce the costs of manufacture, the attendants, and the
manufacture of the same.
As will be seen from the accompanying drawing the new drill machine differs
materially from those now in use, as the forward framework is omitted, and the
machine placed on two wheels, the axle to which is rigidly connected to the shaft or
draught pole.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved drill, and
Figure 2 a plan or top view of the same.
The pole a is firmly connected to the axle d by means of the cramps b and the two
stays c, c.
In order to balance the weight of the pole a, the seed box e and the entire
drill or sowing mechanism is arranged to the rear, whereas these parts in other
whines are placed above the axle.

page_text: In consequence of the seed box e being placed to the rear, the distance between the
axle and the shaft of the drill is increased, so that the gear wheels must be made of
increased size or be connected by means of an endless chain. By means of the afore-
named arrangement, the machine is made to operate with great accuracy, which was
not possible with the machines hitherto employed owing to the same being driven
from the front frame, which was connected with the drill mechanism by articulated
rods, so that the wheels could not run in the furrow.
The machine can be drawn by two horses so that the labourer for leading the
machine, as heretofore, is not necessary. The costs of manufacture are about twenty
per cent. less than with other similar machines.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
--
1
My improved two horse drill without forward frame, which latter is replaced
by a pole a connected to the axle d, Figure 2, and in which the seed box e with the
entire sowing apparatus is arranged to the rear in order to balance the pole,
substantially as specified and shown.
2: My improved two borse drill, substantially as specified in the foregoing
specification, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
