H. L. Emery's Newly Invented Double, 

 Toggle-Jointed, Horizontal, Progressire 

 Lever Hay and Cotton Press. 



PROBABLY no one thing has been more wanted, 

 and less improvements made upon it of late years, 

 than the Hay Press. Notwithstanding this was completed 

 quite late the past season, a large number were made and 

 put into successful operation. As seen in the cut it is closed 

 u]) and about midway in process of compressing a bundle 

 of ll.ay. When fully pressed home, the ends of the levers, 

 which are seen at each end extending above the box, are 

 brought down by the chains or ropes and shelves, until the 

 levers themselves become horizontal with the floor. The 

 Press is provided with two followers, both working from the 

 ends towards the center and each other. The chains or 

 ropes from the levers are connected together by passing one 

 of them under the machine and both joining in a larger 

 chain or rope — this larger one being connected with a cap- 

 stan or blocks and ropes, as most convenient. 



When the Press is driven home, the hay becomes pressed 

 into a bundle standing on its end. The side doors are 

 thrown open while the bands are passed round the bundle 

 and secured, when the top doors are loosened and the bun- 

 dle thrown out. For operation, the levers are raised, the 

 followers drawn back, and the top doors opened from the 

 center to each end by unbuttoning the middle cross bar, as 

 seen in the cut. The opening on the top for receiving hay, 

 is 2 feet wide and 8 feet long. The Press stands upon the 

 floor or ground when in use, which makes it both conveni- 

 ent and capacions for filling and treading in the hay. 



The whole Press measures 14 feet long, 2 ft. 10 in. wide, 

 4 ft, 10 in. high, outside measurement, and weighs, complete, 

 from 12nO to 1500 lbs., and is capable of compressing 250 lbs. 

 of Timothy Hay into 16 cubic feet, (being 2x2x4 ft.) at the 

 rate of five bundles per hour, with two men and one horse, 

 and heavier bales in proportion as to size and time re- 

 quired. 



For transportation, the inside work is readily removed 

 and boxed up, while the sides are packed together making 

 solid cubic measurement of the whole thing. 



Price complete, with chains and capstans, $135, and war- 

 ranted to work as represented, to the satislaction of the pur- 

 chaser. 



I will, in a future number, give a further notice in 

 detail, with more cuts illustrating its several parts detached.
