The DRIVE WHEELS have ten wrought iron spokes, (each bracing 

 the adjoining ones,) thus rendering them lighter, at the same time 

 much stronger, than the ordinary cast iron wheels. Though they are 

 independent of each other, either will drive. Both are in gear while 

 advancing, and out of gear while backing. The inside wheel runs in 

 the track of the shoe, and does not press down the cut grass. 



The FRAME is made entirely of cast and wrought iron, not in one 

 piece, as in some machines, but in parts, so arranged that in case any 

 one is injured, that only requires to be replaced, which any farmer is 

 competent to do. A frame of this material is almost indestructible, 

 while it cannot be warped by exposure to the weather in any climate, 

 as is the case with the wooden frames. 



The DRAFT ATTACHMENT is another peculiar and important feature 

 of the CLIPPER machines. Being applied to the front end of the 

 frame and below the pole, (that serving merely as a guide for the team,) 

 the draft is consequently upward, whereby the inside shoe is made to 

 pass lightly over the ground, rendering unnecessary the leading wheel 

 in front of the shoe, with its attendant evils. 



The method of adjusting the CUTTING APPARATUS of the CLIPPER 

 is at once novel and peculiar. By means of the adjusting lever the 

 driver is enabled at all times, when the machine is in motion, to raise 

 or lower the points of the fingers and knives, thus varying the angle 

 and height of the cut, and adapting it to lodged grass, or rough, boggy 

 ground. 



The patent cast steel FINGER BAR, and solid cast^steel GUARDS, are 

 not liable to clog or break, with the under surface of the finger-slot 

 hardened; and in connection with the ball and socket knife-head they 

 make the most perfect Cutting Apparatus known. They are as much 

 in advance of the common flat bar and malleable iron guard, as the 

 latter are in advance of the old wooden bars and cast iron guards ; 

 and to this most important of all requisites to a perfect Mower we 

 invite your particular attention. 



The Mowers are made with 30, 32, or 36 inch Drive Wheels, with 

 five different cuts, varying from 3J for the Pony to 5 feet for the 

 Two-Horse. 



The Keapers are made to cut 4 and 5 feet, with 36 inch Drive 

 Wheels.
