Pulverising plough; butter machines; steam plough; windlass for hauling implements.
THE FOLLOWING ARTICLES ARE EXHIBITED:-
1. HANCOCK and CO.'S PATENT PRIZE PULVERISER PLOUGH.
This implement is used for making a seed-bed at one operation, on any kind of soil. It is a triple trenching plough, one share working below the other, and instead of ploughing land into clods, ploughs it into a good tilth, and makes a perfect seed-bed, every yard it works.
The turn-furrows are removable, by which any depth of soil may be turned, or none at all. It is worked from 3 to 12 in. deep, with 2, 3, or 4 horses, just in the same way as the common plough.
- Price £6-10
2. Is a modification of the above for steam-power.
It is arranged to work without turning at the headlands, and takes a double furrow and makes a seed-bed at one operation.
- Price £25 0
3. HANCOCK'S PATENT REGULATING WINDLASS.
This arrangement will double the hauling power of the engine without stopping up hill, and through irregular, heavy, or wet patches of ground; the hauling drums are mounted on, and keyed to independent shafts, and each drum is acted on by two speed "clutches." By this contrivance, a common 8-horse power engine will be enabled to master all the difficulties of steam tillage.
- Price £100 0
4. HANCOCK'S PATENT PRIZE BUTTER MACHINE separates all traces of acid and milk from butter without touching it with the hand. It also cools it, and will make it crimp in the hottest weather. Price £2-12
- Electro-plated £5-0
- No. 2 ditto £2-2
