BODY'S PATENT CORN SCREEN effectually separates all thin corns, stones, seeds, etc. from either barley, wheat, or sanfoin, and produces a sample that enables the merchant or farmer to obtain the highest market price for his corn.
To maltsters it is invaluable, as the duty on malt renders it necessary they should pay only on the best barley.
- Screen No. 2, 50 bushels per hour. £7-0-0
- Screen No. 1, 90 bushels per hour. £9-0-0
- Stone separator, extra. £1-10-0
- Screen No. 3, 150 bushels per hour. £15-15-0
Boby's Patent Screen successfully competed at Norwich, in 1860, against a new patent self-cleaning and adjustable rotary screen, and obtained the silver medal.
BOBY'S IMPROVED PATENT CORN SCREEN, with blower.
This is the original well-known screen, with a simple blower in front of the hopper, the blast from which acts upon the grain as it falls from the hopper to the screen. This blower is driven, with a very small additional power, from the screen spindle, and is thrown out of use with the greatest facility by removing the strap, and the screen can then be worked alone.
This addition is very important, as it enables parties to separate most of the grown kernels, with the further great advantage obtained by the fact that the thin or tail corn is as clean and free from dust, etc. as the head sample. R. B. with the greatest confidence recommends this machine to all who are interested in obtaining a faultless sample of corn.
- Screen No. 5, will screen 50 bush. per hour. £10-10
- Screen No. 6, will screen 90 bush. per hour. £12-0
- Extra separators to the above. £1-10
- Screen No. 7, will screen 150 bush, per hour. £20-15
- Extra separator. £2-5
- Extra pulley for power. £1-0
BOBY'S PATENT CORN-DRESSING MACHINE, with patent screen combined, enables any farmer or merchant to produce a sample of wheat or barley that will command the very highest price, as all the chaff, seeds, thin corns, etc. are effectually separated from the bulk.
Corn leaving a single-blast thrashing machine, has only to pass through Boby's dressing machine once, and a perfect separation will be found to have been made. Price £15-0-0
Dressing machine, with all the advantages of the above, but without patent screen £10-0-0
BODY'S NEW PATENT DOUBLE-ACTION HAY-MAKING MACHINE.
The inventor has effected everything in the above which is accomplished by any other implement of its kind, notwithstanding he has discarded more than 30 per cent. of the parts which usually compose them. In addition to this, the arrangement is such, that the revolving forks being placed a greater distance behind the carriage wheels, the weight of the machine has passed over the grass before the fork comes in contact with it, at the same time effecting a balance which leaves little or no weight on the back of the horse.
Amongst other advantages may be named its very ready and easy adjustment, the great facility with which its action can be reversed, coupled with the greatly diminished power required to draw it, and the simplicity with which every part of it can be removed or lucubrated and kept free from dirt, while it is impossible for it to choke.
The manufacturer offers to the public an implement which is at once lighter in weight, stronger in its parts, less likely to get out of order, and requiring less horse-power than any in the market. Price £13-13
