From Graces Guide

28. LOWCOCK, HENRY, St. Peter's Street, Tiverton — Inventor and Patentee.

Patent turn-wrist plough (invented by the exhibitor, and manufactured by R. Adams, of Marldon, Devon), for turning furrows in one line of direction, and parallel to each other. With this implement the whole under surface of the furrow-slice is clean cut out at each ploughing; the weeds are clean cut; and the upper surface of the soil, especially when brought into tilth, is kept more level, and is less trodden.
