Remarks. 



• Lost much time in testing an imperfect machine. 



Worked admirably without oscillation, all nicely 



balanced. 

 Worked unsatisfactorily; had no trial of barley. 

 The elevators too near tlie ground ; had no trial of 



barley. 

 General arrangement not good ; a somewhat mistaken 



attempt at great simplicity. 

 Blowers and elevators awkwardly placed. 

 Was tried in barley in Class VIII. 

 Oscillates much, white coater good, complex in gear- 

 ing, riddles good. 

 General arrangement defective, riddle surface small, 



tlirashcd badly. 

 Admirably balanced, every part working steadily; 



smutter good, riddle surface very compact, with great 



simplicity. 

 Everything in harmony; worked remarkably steady; 



slides slipped, causing the riddles to choke ; in barley 

 . dressing the riddle uttered too fast for the hopper. 

 An imperfect performance at great power. 



• Worked steadily ; much gearing and passing of corn to 



riddles ; the elevators defective and blocked up dur- 

 ing the trial ; good spring bars and shakers. The 

 . barley trial in Class VIII. 



A nice compact machine and well arranged for steady 

 working; thrashed barley well. 



The machine was of the best manufacture and worked 

 with great steadiness, but at a great expense of power ; 

 , it makes good separations of grain and pulse. 



Vibrates in its work considerably, riddle surface small ; 

 a modification of Gooch's dressing machine for the 

 , finishing apparatus. 



The shaker is defective, too quiet. 



Worked admirably, but we did not patronize it much, 

 as we found it to be nearly a copy of Messrs. Clayton 

 and Co.'s machine. i nt,. 



for preparing Corn for Market, not exceeding Ten-horse Power. 



A very perfect fixed machine. 



for preparing Corn for Market, not exceeding Eight-horse Power. 



f Worked admirably, all its appointments good, at a 



1 moderate price. 



r Beautifully fitted, but all the parts too light, causing 



< great power to work it ; like the others tried, it worked 

 I, with remarkable steadiness. 



( This machine is rather lofty in height and not so com- 



< pact as Hornsby's ; the arrangement of working parts 

 I admirable. 



This is a large and powerful machine; dressing appa- 

 ratus defective; the large shoe without spring- 

 bars causes great oscillation ; the elevators are nigh ; 

 it has a dressing machine with double blast ; barley 

 badly liummelled.
