Report on the Exhibition of Implements 



" The prize was consequently awarded to Mr. Stanley's appa- 

 ratus. The Judges have to observe, that Mr. Thompson's 

 steamer worked under a disadvantage, as some of its fittings did 

 not arrive at Norwich, but were lost on the railway."

 trial the dressing-machines were supplied with the corn and the 

 chaff just as it came from the threshing-machines. Column 5

 machine, and shows the comparative power required in each case. 

 They were directed to do as much work as they could with 62 

 turns of the handle : —
