Clippers 69 



Clippers. 



Various patterns of horse clipping 

 machines are upon the market, many- 

 being cheap and worthless. When select- 

 ing a pair, the groom should endeavour to 

 obtain those manufactured by a firm of 

 repute, though the price may be a little 

 higher, yet such are cheaper in the long 

 run. 



The most expensive clippers are usually 

 provided with what is known as Grass- 

 hopper springs, but the writer has not 

 found such do their work any better than 

 those having simpler construction. 



Adjustment is usually by either a 

 thumb-screw, or turn-key. 



Prices range from 2/6 to 15/- or there- 

 abouts, per pair. 



Most clippers are now made to cut over 

 three teeth.
