Marrows, commonly called Spiked Onain
Harrows.
SAMUEL BAILEY GOODWIN Ironfounder Berner Street Leicester WILLIAM BARSBY,
Ironfounder Evington Lane Leicester ROBERT POCHIN Ironmonger The Hollies
West Walk Leicester AUSTIN HILL Engineer 19 Watling Street Leicester do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
Our improvements consist :-
First. In making all or part of the spikes or cutters rotary, hung on suitable axles,
so that they revolve as the harrow is drawn either way. The spikes or cutters being
made different angles 'form cutters-when drawn one way & gatherers-when drawn in
the opposite direction; by this means old moss, weeds, twitch, & dead grass (or fog
as it is commonly called) is thoroughly eradicated & gathered, whilst the roots of the
new grasses are renovated & much improved.
Secondly. We attach suitable spikes at different angles of the harrow to assist the
revolving cutters in pulverising & spreading manure, soil &c. for fertilising all kinds
of grasses, also for gathering twitch on arable land, harrowing-in seeds after drilling,
destroying weeds in spring crops, harrowing wheat &c.
Thirdly. We make the spikes and rotary cutters with a hole in the centre of
each-through which we put suitable axles or bosses and connect same with iron
cross pieces-having a hole at each end set at an angle io-receive the bosses-which
are secured by a washer & cotter and we attach the rotary cutters & spikes with the
suitable links, connected in such a form as to make the harrow self expanding without
the aid of cross bars, stretchers, rod &c.
The above arrangement makes a combined-barrow for grassland, arable land, & a
perfect weed extirpator.

SAMUEL BAILEY GOODWIN Ironfounder Berner Street Leicester WILLIAM BARSBY
Ironfounder 21. Evington Road Leicester ROBERT POCHIN Ironmonger The Hollies
West Walk Leicester AUSTIN HILL Engineer Watling Street Leicester 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:-
Our Improvements consist
First. We make the harrow (A Fig. 1) with rotary cutters (B. Fig. 2) and double
spikes (C Fig. 3) mounted upon iron or other suitable axles (D Fig. 4) securely
connected with wrot iron or other suitable links (G Fig. 7) washers (E Fig. 5) and
split cotters (F Fig. 6). The rotary cutters (B) and double spikes (C) are made so
that all or part rotate as desired.
Second. We make the rotary cutters (B) and double spikes (C) different angles
which act as cutters when drawn one way and gatherers when reversed thus making
two perfect harrows in one.
Third. We make the rotary cutters (B) act as wheels or rollers reducing the
draught to a minimum, they also regulate the depth, so that the double spikes (C) and
cutters (B) effectually scatter every particle of manure soil &c. without damaging the
roots of the grass or other spring cropping.
Fourth. We make the rotary cutters (B) and double spikes (C) with a hole through
the centre of each, through which we pass the axle (D) and connect same with wrot
iron or other suitable links (G) made with an eye at each end, and set at such angles
that the harrow (A) is self expanding yet flexible-without the aid of cross bars-or
stretcher rods the axles (D) and links (G) are secured by washers (E) and split
cotters (F) the washers (E) having suitable recesses in each (E A Fig. 6) allow the
split cotter (F) to be opened and form double headed cotters (EA) thoroughly
securing the whole-without any projections, by this means any portion of the harrow
can be taken apart for repairs, packing &c.
Having now particularly described the nature of our said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed we do not claim those parts separately which are
well known and in common use in machines of the type forming the subject of the
invention but what we claim is
First. The novel arrangement of making the harrow (A) with rotary discs or
cutters (B) revolving on iron or other suitable axles (D) acting as wheels or rollers
-reducing the draught to a minimum-and regulating the depth of spikes (C).

page_text: Second. The novel arrangement of connecting the rotary discs or cutters (B) and
the double spikes (0) with axles (D) links (G) washers (E) and split cotters (F) in
such a manner as to make the harrow (A) self expanding without the aid of stretcher-
rods, or cross bars.
Third. The novel arrangement of making the washer (E) with a suitable recess to
receive the split cotters (EA) and thoroughly secure the axles (D) and the links (G)
without any projection, this arrangement allows the harrow (A) to be taken apart
for repairs or packing and put together with the greatest ease.
