PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Plough and Land Pulverizer.
I JOHN MCCALL of Poynton in the County of Chester Blacksmith do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to enable a plough to break up and pulverize the soil
at the same time that it ploughs and forms the furrow.
For this purpose I attach to the rear end of the mould plate of the plough a
bracket formed with three, four or more sockets in each of. which is fitted a knife or
coulter which is capable of being adjusted higher or lower as may be required and
fixed by a set screw.
These knives or coulters follow the mould plate, and break up the furrow as soon
as the plough has formed it stirring up the soil and leaving it in a level and pulverized
condition.
And in order to break up any clods that may be left on the surface unpulverized
I also attach to the rear of the plough a revolving spiked roller or clod crusher which
is supported by a wheel running on the land, which wheel can be raised or lowered
as may be required.
Dated this 20th day of October 1888.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Plough and Land Pulverizer.
I JOHN MCCALL of Poynton in the County of Chester Blacksmith do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this invention is to enable a plough to break up and pulverize the
soil at the same time that it ploughs the furrow.
The nature of my said invention will be readily understood on reference to the
annexed sheet of drawings which are marked with figures, and letters of reference
corresponding with those in the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1 on the annexed drawing is an elevation (shown partly in section) of my
combined plough and land pulverizer the stilts or handles being broken off and Fig. 2
is a plan view of the same.
For the purposes of my invention I attach to the rear end of the mould plate a
of the plough a bracket 6 formed with three four or more sockets c in each of which
is fitted horizontally or nearly so a knife or slicer d which is capable of being adjusted
therein as may be required and fixed by a set screw e.
These knives or slicers d follow the mould plate a and break up the furrow as soon
as the plough has formed it stirring up the soil and leaving it in a level and pulverized
condition.
And in order to break up any clods that may be left on the surface unpulverized
I also attach to the rear of the plough a revolving roller or clod crusher made with
spikes or arms f mounted on a rod fx capable of revolving in a suitable frame g,
which may be supported by a wheel running on the land and which is so fitted with
a screw or screws h that it can be raised or lowered as required.
And in some cases I propose to use the plough in combination with the fixed
knives or tines only without the revolving clod crusher.

page_text: 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 I
claim is :-
A combined plough and land pulverizer constructed substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.
