THE KOVAI. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND'S 



FIRST-PRIZE PORTABLE 



STEAM-THRASHING EI^TGINE, 



Which has taken away the palm from every other maker's Engine, and 

 excelled the duty of those which had previously received long lists 



° ^"^^^' rp PIE last Trials of the ROYAL AGRICUL- 



i TURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAN D, conducted under 

 the most searching investigation of the Judges and Consult- 

 ing-Engineer of the Society, aided by the most periect test- 

 ing apparatus that mechanical skill has yet produced where 

 the fuel for trials was weighed and watched by the Judges, 

 with extreme carefulness, and where, prior to commenong, 

 the strict testing of consumption of fuel per horse-power, all 

 portions of unconsumed fuel left from preliminary operations 

 were taken back into the custody of the Judges, and placed 

 beyond the possible reach of any party under trial, induce 

 the successful competitors to ask, whether any Engine with 

 horizontal cylinder, when in its very best condition, and 

 under the same strict investigation, has 1-een able to effect 

 the same amount of duty as has been effected by TUXtOKU 

 AND SOiNS' Portable Engine with vertical cylinder.

THE SUPERIORITY OF 



TUXFORD AND SONS' 



PATENT PORTABLE IRON-HOUSED STEAM THRASHING 



ENGINES, 



petition with other Engines. Their

MACHINES, 



for sin^plici.y of construction, the amount of work performed, and perfection i" «?,^ .^^7;^^""=' «Jj^^^^^^ ^"-^ 

 Dressing operations, have the well- merited reputation of standing at the head of their class , and their 



PATENT COMBINED THRASHING, SHAKING, DRESSING, AND 



FINISHING MACHINES 



are constructed so as not to choke when thrashing Barley, and combine the following principles and effects in 

 their construction and operations, and may be used at discretion either as "rough Chaffing'' or "Fmishing 

 Machines " The ROUGH CHAFFING OPERATIONS embrace Thrashmg, Shaking, and Dressing, during 

 which the erain is returned three times to the blast, and is passed over as many sets ot riddles, thus being' as 

 it were dressed three times over, after which it is delivered into sacks— the long straw, the cavings, and the 

 chaff bJing also separated and delivered each with itself. The FINISHING OPERATIONS embrace beyond 

 the rough Chaffing all the advantages desirable from the addition of the most perfect Dressing Machine, the 

 corn bein<' delivered direct from the rough Chaffing operations into the additional dressing apparatus, where it 

 again passes twice before fans and through riddles and over a screen, the operations terminating by the finished 

 corn bein" delivered into owe sack, the tailings or lean corn into another, the screenings or chicken corn into a 

 third, whilst the capes or cavings (if any) pass again through the Machine, or are received into a. fourth sack 

 at option.
