at Westminster, the Eighteenth day of October, in the twenty-sixth year of
His reign, did give and grant unto me, the said George Winter, that I, the
said George Winter, during the terms of years therein expressed, should and
lawfully might use, exercise, and vend, within that part of His Kingdom
of Great Britain called England, His Dominion of Wales, and Town of
Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "A MACHINE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DEPOSITING OR DRILLING THE SEED OF EVERY SPECIES OF VEGETABLES IN A MANNER
ENTIRELY NEW, AND MORE EXPEDITIOUS AND REGULAR THAN HERETOFORE KNOWN,
AND WHICH REQUIRES A LESSER QUANTITY OF SEED TO PRODUCE A LARGE CROP THAN
IS NECESSARY BY THE COMMON MODE OF CASTING, WHEREBY A CONSIDERABLE SAVING
WILL BE EFFECTED; AND WHICH MACHINE POSSESSES THE PECULIAR QUALITY OF BEING
REGULATED WITH EASE, SO AS TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE QUANTITY OF SEED
SOWN, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE SEEDSMAN;" in which said Letters Patent there
is a contained a proviso, obliging me, the said George Winter, under my hand
and seal, to cause a particular description of the nature of the said Invention,
and how the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within one month next after the date of the said recited
Letters Patent, as in and by the same, relation being thereunto had, may
more fully and at large appear.

the regular delivery of the grain, seeds, or pulse; or in lieu of wheels a roller o
rollers may be used, of any kind or dimensions as may best suit the size of the
machine; or in lieu of the hind wheels or rollers a pully or pullies, made of
ivory, or stone, or wood, or wood and iron, or iron, brass, or any other
metal, the dimensions from four to forty inches diameter, with a groove or
grooves, of any required depth and breadth, for the purpose of being encircled
with a chain or chains of any metal, or a cord or cords of any kind,
or a thong or thongs of leather or wool, or any other article whatever. Such

page_text: pulley or pullies are to be placed or fixed on one or both ends, or any other part
or parts of the hind axle, and when thus made with a pully or pullies, the fore
wheel or wheels, roller or rollers, are to be supported and worked by an axle
similar, or tending to the same purposes as the hind axle, such fore axle to be
made of wood, or wood and iron, or any other metal, or of iron, or any other
metal, or in any other manner, so as to tend to the purpose of fastening unto
or upon one or more pully or pullies, which fore pully or pullies are to be made
of ivory, stone, or wood, or wood and iron, or any other metal or iron, or any
other metal, with a groove or grooves of any required depth and breadth, for
the purposes of being encircled with a chain or chains, cord or cords, of any
kind, or a thong or thongs made of leather, or wool, or any other article, what-
ever; and such pully or pullies are to be placed and fastened on the end or ends,
or any other part of the said axle, so as to be in a parrallel line, or such other
direction as it or they may be turned by the afore-mentioned chain or chains,
cord or cords, thong or thongs, encircling the afore-mentioned pully or pullies
placed or fastened on any part of the hind axle, so as to turn the cylinder or
cylinders placed on such axle, by which the grain, seeds, or pulse may be
regularly discharged. And when pullies are used instead of wheels or rollers,
the bind, or any other part or parts of the carriage or frame may be
made without or with a slide or slides, or any other instrument that may be
affixed, so as the coulter or coulters may be set to penetrate to any required
depth in the ground; and that such slides may not or may be affixed also, so as
to be raised higher or lowered on the same principles as the coulters, or on any
other principle. And for the purpose of preventing the grain, seeds, or pulse
from being discharged out of the cylinder or cylinders, when turning at the
headlands, a spring or springs is or are to be affixed to move the axle and
pullies occasionally, by which the chains or cords are loosened so as not to turn
such pullies. Machines are often worked on level ground where no ridges are
formed; and that the track of the machine may be more easily distinguished
than by the impression of the wheels, a large single drag, made of wood or iron,
may not or may be fastened on to the side or sides of the frame, or to the
hind part of the carriage, for the purpose that the seedsman may distinguish
such parts of the ground as had been sowed or planted. A roller or rollers,

or conductors, such coulter or coulters to be made from one to twelve inches
broad, from one to twelve inches thick, and from four to fifty inches high or
long, without or with from two to twelve holes in the upper part or parts to
admit bolts with screws; or screws or wedges, whereby such coulter or coulters
may be raised or lowered occasionally, so as to penetrate to any required depth
in the ground; and such coulter or 'coulters to be made without or with slides,
marked with figures or any other mark by which the depth they are to pene-
trate into the ground may be the easier ascertained and accordingly regulated:
The cylinder or cylinders, from one to twelve in number, to be made of wood,
stone; bone, ivory, cast or wrought iron, brass, or any other metal, which
cylinder or cylinders are to be from two to twenty-four inches diameter, to
contain a groove or grooves; without or with teeth, from 'one to thirty sets of
holes or cavities of different sizes for the delivery of grain, seeds, or pulse, and,
according to their different sizes, sc are the grooves or "cavities to be lessened

parts, as above specified, to be made in proportion to the size and purposes
the machine may be used for, and with such of the afore-mentioned materials

page_text: as may best suit the inclinations of different people. From the numerous
experiments I have tried in making, altering, and improveing my machine
(elucidated as above), I find the following to be the strongest, most simple,
and effectual; and accordingly (at present) have my machines made in the
following manner, viz,-the side frames, made of wood, seventy-five inches
long, three and one half inches deep, two and one half inches broad, fore bar
forty-one inches long, two inches square; draft standards, sixteen inches high,
three inches deep, two and one half inches broad, with removable rings at top
for hitching chains to draw the machine. Two supporters, placed in an angu-
lar form from the top of the standards to the frame, twenty-four inches long,
two and a quarter inches broad, one inch thick. Fore wheel, diameter twenty-
four inches, breadth of fellies two inches, with a wood axle, length forty-one
inches, diameter two inches, with brass or iron gudgeons in the axle, which
are placed in brass or iron plates, containing six or more holes, each with
jointed plates to turn up against the holes which contain and keep the gudgeons
steady, which are to be removed higher or lower; said folding or jointed plates
are to be secured with hooks and eyes; distance from the fore axle to the first
coulter bar fifteen inches. First coulter bar is made of wood, forty-five inches
long, four inches square, with a groove through the middle three quarters of
an inch broad, and forty-one inches long, with plates of iron on the back part
to prevent the wood being injured, and two bolts passed through from the
under to the upper part, which are to prevent the grooves from opening,
which bar is secured on the frame with bolts and nuts. The distance from
the first to the second coulter bar is eight inches, and made to remove farther
or nearer. The second coulter bar is exactly the same make, dimensions, &c.,
as the first. When six coulters are fixed on a single bar forty-one inches
long, there is not space sufficient for weeds, large stones, and clods of earth to
to pass between; but when six coulters are placed (in an angular or quincunx
form) on two bars of above dimensions and distance on the frames, there is a
space of fourteen inches, which is generally sufficient in the most foul and
rough grounds. The coulters are made of iron, twenty inches long, five and
one half inches broad, and two inches wide at the back parts, with a groove
(for conveying the seeds, grain, or pulse out of the conductors into the ground).
Six inches of the top parts of the coulters are made flat, with eight or ten holes,
to raise or lower and to fix them to the coulter bars, with double bolts passed
through the grooves in the bars, and secured behind with horn nuts. These
holes in the top parts of the coulters are for raising them higher or lower,
so as to make the furrows of any depth from the surface to eight inches deep,
or more if required. One, two, three, or more coulters are fixed occasionally

page_text: on one or each bar, (and according to the required distance of planting the
grain, seeds, or pulse in the drills,) and are made to remove to any distance from
four to thirty-eight inches. The hind coulter bar is placed between the first
and second box standards; the distance from thence to the third is seven inches,
from thence to the fourth is four inches. All the box standards are made
of wood, two feet high and three inches square. The four bars fastened to
the box standards on the top part, are made of wood, two inches square.
A wooden bar, of an inch and one half square, is fixed to the fourth standard,
and another wooden bar, of two inches square, is made to remove and pass
nearly under the second standard, and another wooden bar, of same size, is
made to remove nearly under the first standard, and are secured with buttons
at the ends (being first passed through two staples for the purpose of supporting
the conductors,) to prevent their sliding out. In the four middle standards,
grooves are made two inches long, one and one half inches broad, and one
inch deep, cut about six inches above the frame, for the purpose of containing
the collar bars, which collars are made of brass, nine inches long, one and one
half inches broad, and one inch thick, with holes over the collar parts for the
purpose of conveying oil to the axle, and with flat buttons to turn over such
hole or holes to prevent dirt or dust entering therein. A plate of iron is fixed
to the under part with eyes and pins to support the axle. The axle is made
of iron, one and a quarter inches square, forty-one inches long in the clear,
one inch long in the collar parts (which are turned in a lathe or filed), with a
further length of nine inches at each end, which ends enter through the
stocks of the hind wheels, and are secured by nuts. The axle contains
several holes for screws to enter for the purpose of fastening on the cylinders
with plates of iron in the form of L. The hind wheels are thirty-six
inches diameter, the fellies two inches broad. Each wheel contains
eighteen spikes, four inches long, and three quarters of an inch diameter,
which spikes are fixed in the fellies and iron plates surrounding the wheels
for the purpose of making the wheels turn in the roughest ground. The
cylinders are made of brass and wood, or brass or wood, five inches long, and
about six inches diameter, each containing nineteen cavities for grain, and
thirty-eight cavities for pulse and small seeds deposited with pulverized manure.
The cavities are of the form of a niche, which terminates in a cone at the
top, and is rounded deeper and deeper to the lower part, which is cut per-
pendicular. Those for grain will contain six of wheat; those for pulse contain
one bean or three pease. In the cylinders are cut grooves, about half an inch
broad, and a quarter of an inch deep, for the purpose of dividing the two sets of
cavities, and are also for the purpose of resting the bottoms of the seed boxes on
them and to keep them steady. Or, in lieu of grooves, beads are made on them,

page_text: when turned about one quarter of an inch high, and a quarter of an inch broad,
for the purpose of being covered with a cavity made in the bottom of the seed
boxes, and for keeping them steady when working. The seed boxes for grain
are made of wood sixteen inches high, eighteen inches long, six and a half
inches broad at top, four inches long, and one and one half inches broad at
bottom, and are fastened with screws to the inside frame. The boxes for the
large cavities are of the same heighth, length, and breadth on top as those for
grain, but are three inches wide at bottom. The sliders are made of wood,
with brushes at the ends to fit the bottom parts of the seed boxes; and
cylinders made of the same height and breadth as the fore parts of the seed
boxes, and thereto affixed. by small bolts, about two inches long, and half an
inch square, with screws and horn nuts, for the purpose of raising or depressing,
and thereby regulating the brushes over the cavitities of the cylinders, by
which the quantity of seeds, grain, or pulse, are increased or decreased.
Strips of wood are fastened on to the insides of the seed boxes, which further
keep the sliders, steady. The conductors are made of wood or tin, five inches
wide upon top, and five inches deep, gradually decreasing in size to the lower
parts, which enter into and discharge the grain, seeds or pulse into the cavities
of the coulters. The eight standards and works within them are enclosed with
boards and a cover in the form of a large box. The back part of the frame has a
bar affixed to it, of about same dimensions and make or form as the coulter
bars, for the purpose of fastening thereto with chains a harrow made of two-
inch plank, twelve inches broad and four feet long, with thirteen iron tines,
six inches long, and half an inch square, for the purpose of more effectually
covering the seed; or such bars to have affixed thereto broad flat teeth, or
round, of wood or iron, with bolts, and nuts, being also for the purpose of
more effectually covering the grain, seed, or pulse deposited, and for making
the ground even. Two handles, from eighteen to forty-eight inches long are
affixed to the back part with bolts, for the purpose of lifting up the machine
at the headlands. When the hind wheels are up and do not turn, no grain is
discharged out of the cylinders Two temporary wheels, made of iron,
dimensions, eighteen inches diameter, with a flat bar of iron four inches wide,
to affix occasionally to or through the back part of the side frames, for the
purpose of conveying the machine from one place to another. The machine,
and its dimensions of every part and parts, to be made smaller or larger, and
with such materials as may be required.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto put my hand and seal, the Ninth
day of November, in the year of our Lord One thousand seven
hundred and eighty-six.
