Direct Drive With 

 drive pulley, knife cylin- 

 der and blower fan all 

 on one shaft. One com- 

 pact set of gears does 

 the work. The direct 

 drive avoids trouble and 

 b i g repair bills. The 

 powerful lift of fan is 

 done at low speed no 

 danger of blow-ups or 

 explosions no make- 

 shift transmission 

 mechanism. 



Auger side of machine with fan case 

 removed. The auger prevents feed from 

 entering blower in bulky, irregular 

 quantities. 



Cutting Cylinder The solid wall of corn steadily forced against 

 the cutting knives cannot spring them away from Cutter Bar on 

 the "Ohio," because of bearings at each end of knives. This is im- 

 possible on the fly wheel type where springing results in uneven 

 cutting, with long pieces of leaves to form air pockets in the silo. 

 Investigate the new bearings and ring oiling-device, exact adjust- 

 ments, etc. 



Simplicity and Protection Only six gears and six sprockets on 

 the entire machine the gears are perfectly housed iron or steel 

 guards cover all moving machinery there is a uniform movement 

 of feed table and rolls on any length of cut. 



One Lever Controls All A single 



lever, almost human, controls 

 the entire feeding mech- 

 anism stopping, starting 

 or reversing at will. It is 

 easily accessible. A six- 

 year-old boy can operate 

 it.
