angle for grinding the knife, the cutting-edge of which is struck 

 "witli the radius of the arm from the pivot mentioned above. 

 As soon as one knife is sharpened the arm is shifted to the 

 next one. 



The engines exhibited on this stand are fitted with a spark 

 intensifier of an ingenious description. The magnetos are 

 rotary instead of the ordinary ones that flick back to generate 

 the spark. Instead of the connection between the 2 to 1 shaft 

 and the magneto being solid the two are connected by a coiled 

 spring, the action being as follows : — If at a point in the revo- 

 lution of the shaft the magnet be stopped by a catch it will 

 compress the spring, and on the release of the catch the spring 

 causes the magneto to revolve quickly to make up for lost time 

 and motion. This release is timed by a cam so as to produce 

 the spark at the correct moment. As the engine gathers speed 

 this cam causes the catch to dance about till by an extra high 

 jump which is bound to occur sooner or later it hooks itself 

 out of action. The resistance of the magneto is of itself not 

 sufficient to have any effect upon the spring, and the whole 

 now revolves as if it was a solid connection. 



No. 4401, Stand 347. Steaming mid Molasses Mixer. 

 Price 47?. 15.s.— Exhibited by Mr. Chas. L. De Wilde Reader, 

 Hursley, near Winchester. This machine possibly owes its 

 inception to the shortness of the root crop in some districts 

 last year when the mixtiire of molasses with chaff proved so 

 useful. The chaff is fed into a hopper in which are two spiked 

 rollers which distribute it evenly so as to pass it down in a fiat 

 vertical stream past the mouths of two steam molasses injectors, 

 one on each side. These injectors are fed with molasses and 

 steam under control by valves, the one pipe inside the other, 

 so that the molasses is kept up to boiling point, till they arrive 

 together at the mouths of the injectors where they are sprayed 

 in a fan shape on to the stream of falling chaff. The treated 

 material then falls on to a band conveyor which delivers it on 

 to the floor ready for use. 



No. 4570, Stand 365. — " Compact um " Roller Mill Plant. 

 Price 425?. — Exhibited by Messrs. Samuelson & Co., Banbury. 

 This is a very compact plant of complete roller mill, with 

 wheat separator, suitable for the Colonies. Special attention 

 has been given to making it quite independent of the buildings 

 containing it so that it may be erected and covered with a 

 corrugated ii'on building. The capacity is naturally small. 



This exhausts the notice your Judges think should be pub- 

 lished in the Journal of the Implements entered for the Silver 

 Medal. 



It is interesting to note the continuance of the tendency, as 

 mentioned in last year's Journal, of makers to turn their
