temporarily residing at St Agatha's Lodge, the Knoll, Beckenham in the County of
Kent, Agricultural Implement Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the
said invention a communication to me from abroad by Messieurs G. Wilkinson
and Co of Aurora, aforesaid, to be as follows:-
For a sod or general purpose plough the head is constructed of cast iron and is
formed with a recess, either on the inner or outer side, for the reception of the
wrought iron beam, which is secured to the head with bolts; there is also a
depression in the lower part of the head for the steel "land side" plate, and the
sole shoe, which latter is of cast iron; the sole shoe and "land side" plate can be
renewed when worn out by use.
The share is of cast iron or of steel as may be desired, and is secured to the head
by one bolt as usual. The handles are of wood the lower end of the "land side"
handle passing into a semi-circular or other shaped loop in the head to which it is
bolted and thereby held securely in position.
The other or mould board handle is fitted at the lower end to the curve of the
mould board, and is secured by two bolts.
A round of wood of proper length is placed between the handles, by which the
whole is braced, and held firmly in position.
The mould board which is convex, is of highly tempered and polished steel, and
will clean in any soil.
The coulter is slightly bent to give cut, is attached to the beam by means of a
buckle, which will slide along the beam as may be desired to set the coulter at any
desired point at will.
The jaws are of malleable iron and are bolted to the beam.
For a "stubble" plough, the mould board is made shorter than for a
plough and is slightly concave in form and much wider at the base, where it meets
the share, which is also much wider than that for the sod plough.

I WALTER HAWKINS PERRAM of Aurora, Ontario in the Dominion of Canada,
temporarily residing at St Agatha's Lodge, the Knoll Beckenham in the County of
Kent, Agricultural Implement Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, a communication to me from abroad, by Messieurs G. Wilkinson and Co,
of Aurora, aforesaid, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
For a sod or general purpose plough the head is constructed of cast iron and is
formed with a recess either on the inner or outer side for the reception of the
wrought iron beam which is secured to, the head with bolts; there is also, a
depression in the lower part of the head for the steel" land side" plate, and the
sole shoe which latter is of cast iron, the sole shoe and "land side" plate can be
renewed when worn out by use. The share is of cast iron or of steel as may be
desired, and is secured to the head by one bolt as usual. The handles are of wood,
the lower end of the "landside" handle passing into a semicircular or other shaped
loop in the head to which it is bolted and thereby held securely in position.
The other or mould board handle is fitted at the lower end to the curve of the
mould board, and is secured by two bolts. A round of wood of proper length is
placed between the handles, by which the parts are braced, and held firmly in
position. The mould board which is convex, is of highly tempered and polished
steel, and will clean in any soil.
The coulter which is slightly bent to give cut, is attached to the beam by means
of a buckle, which will slide along the beam as may be required to set the coulter
at any desired point at will.
The jaws are of malleable iron and are bolted to the beam. For a "stubble"
plough the mould board is made shorter than for a sod plough and is slightly
concave in form and much wider at the base, where it meets the share, which is

page_text: also much wider than that for the sod plough. The mould board like that of the
sod plough, is of highly tempered and polished steel, and it will turn a very deep
and wide furrow. The beam and jaws are also the same. The handles are a little
shorter, but in other respects the same. The coulter which is straight is attached
to the beam.
The handles of both plows are braced by iron rods which are preferably secured
to the head at the centre bolt and to the handles by a rod passing through both.
And in order that the said invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect, I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings more fully
to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a side elevation looking towards the "land side" and Figure 2 is a
plan of a sod or general purpose plough illustrating the invention. Figure 3 is a
transverse section thereof taken on the line 1, 1, of Figure 1 and Figure 4 is a side
view of the head looking towards the mould board side and with the mould board
attached. Figure 5 is a similar view to Figure 4 but with the mould board and
some other parts removed and Figure 6 is a plan thereof. Figures 7, 8 and 9 are
respectively an edge view a back end view and a plan of the share separately.
Figure 10 shows the method of attaching the handles and Figure 11 illustrates
parts of a stubble plough of a modified form.
In all the figures like parts are marked with similar letters of reference. a is
the head of the plough which is constructed of cast iron and is formed with a
recess a¹ for the reception of the beam e which is secured to the head a by means
of bolta e¹.
In the lower part of the head a a depression is formed to receive the steel "land
side" plate b and the cast iron sole shoe o which are respectively secured to the
head a by means of bolts b¹ o¹ whereby these parts may be readily renewed when
worn out by use.
The shared is formed of cast iron or steel as may be desired and is slidden on to
the flange a of the head a where it is secured by one bolt d' as usual.
"
The handles f, f¹ are formed of wood and the lower end of the "landside
handle f¹ passes into a semicircular or other shaped loop a' on the head a to which
latter it is secured by a bolt a³ and thereby held firmly in position.
The other or mould board handle f is fitted at the lower end f' to the curve of
the mould board and is secured thereto by two bolts d³.
A round g of wood of proper length is placed between the handles ff¹ by means
of which the parts are braced and held firmly in position.
The handles f, f', are further. braced by means of iron rods f³f which are at
one end preferably secured to the head a by means of the bolt a and at the other
end such rods f³. f. are connected to the handles f. f¹. by means of a long bolt
or rod f*.
The mould board & which is convex is of highly tempered and polished steel
and will clean in any soil.
The coulter e' which is slightly bent in order to give cut is attached to the
beam e by means of a buckle e which is capable of sliding along the bean as may
be required to set the coulter at any desired point at will.
The jaws e' are of malleable iron and are bolted to the beam as shown.
In the modified form of plough or "stubble" plough shown at Figure 11 the
recess a¹ for the reception of the beam e is formed on the inside of the head a and
the beam is secured in position by means of bolts as described with respect to the
previous figures.
In this "stubble" plough the mould board d' is made shorter than in the "sod"
plough previously described and is slightly concave in form and much wider at the
base where it meets the share d which latter is also much wider than that of the
Bod
plough.

page_text: The mould board d' like that of the "sod" plough is of highly tempered and
polished steel and will turn a very deep and wide furrow.
The beam e and jaws are also the same but the handles are a little shorter
although they are the same in other respects.
The coulter is attached to the beam e in a similar manner to that previously
described but in this case it is formed straight instead of bent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The peculiar construction, combination and arrangement of parts forming a
plough substantially as herein shown and described.
