A SCARIFIER OR HARROW
Year: 1833

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHARLES
MADELEY, of Gilson Hall, in the Parish of Coleshill, in the County of
Warwick, Farmer, send greeting.
WHEREAS His present most Excellent Majesty King William the Fourth,
by His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Sixth day of June, in the third year of His reign, did, for
Himself, His heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Charles
Madeley, His especial licence, that I, the said Charles Madeley, my exors,
admors, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Charles Madeley, my exors,
admors, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to
time and at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "A SCARIFIER OR HARROW;"
in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso obliging me, the said
Charles Madeley, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, par-
ticularly to describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, and to cause the same to be enrolled
in His said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within two calendar months
next and immediately after the date of the said recited Letters Patent, as
in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at
large appear.

To the hinder part of one of the bars of each harrow is attached a regulator E
and sword F, as shewn in Figure 10. The length of the regulator, from the
head G to the angle H, is eighteen inches, and from the angle H to the foot
I is eighteen inches. The length of the foot I is six inches. The head of the
regulator is made to fit the sword, so as to be raised or lowered at pleasure.
It is about two inches wide and five eighths of an inch thick from the head
to the foot. The foot is six inches broad; the regulator is affixed to the
bar, as shewn in Figure 10, at K. The sword is ten inches long, and there
are five holes drilled through it, in order to raise or lower the regulator. It
is made to bestride or embrace the bar at each side, and is fastened to it by a
pin and collar. By raising or lowering the regulator, and by raising or lowering
the harrows at the axle, the depth to which the tines are wanted to go into the
ground is regulated. The harrows may be made of any size according to the
number of bars attached together, and either single or double.
In the Drawing Number 2, hereto annexed, at Figure 1, is shewn a per-
spective view of a double harrow of six bars, the two middle bars not being
braced together, in order for the better and more effectually working uneven
land; and at Figure 2, in the same Drawing, is shewn the axle to which the
harrows are attached, and wheels complete.
Now whereas I claim as my Invention the zigzag or angular form of the
bars whereby each tine is made to take a different line of action from any
other of the set, the mode of placing the bars, the same being placed length-
ways to the line of draught, and set edgeways, and the arched ties by which
the bars are braced together; and such my Invention being, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, entirely new, and never before used within that part of
His said Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called
England, His said Dominion of Wales, or Town of Berwick-upon Tweed, I
do hereby declare this to be my Specification of the same, and that I do verily
believe this my said Specification doth comply, in all respects, fully and without
reserve or disguise, with the proviso in the said herein-before in part recited
Letters Patent contained; wherefore I do hereby claim to maintain exclusive
right and privilege to my said Invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Madeley, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Third day of August, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and thirty-three.
CHARLES (Ls.) MADELEY.
