The beam projects 2 inches behind the left handle of the plow. 

 At the hinder end it is 3 inches deep and 2| inches wide. At the 

 standard it is 4| inches deep and 2| inches wide. At the front it 

 is 3 inches deep by 2^ inches wide. 



The Land Side 

 Is made by a single plate of cast steel, 21 inches long, and 5 

 inches deep, and three-eighths of an inch thick, bevelled otf at 

 its upper front edge to meet the breast curve of the share and 

 mould-board. At its rear end a wear iron projects three-fourths 

 of an inch laterally towards the land, which extends 8^ inches 

 forwards and then runs out, the land side and share beino; thence- 

 forward in one plane. The wear iron also extends 2 inches diago- 

 nally upward, and is then lost in the plane of the land side. At 

 its junction with the share the plate is thickened on the inside, 

 and a gain is cut on the end outside face, which extends 2 inches 

 over the interior face of the share at the point they are bolted 

 together. 



From a point 11 inches in front of the heel and 3 inches above 

 the sole, a wrought iron brace, seven-eighths of an inch wide and 

 three-eighths of an inch thick, crosses over to the mould-board. 

 It is bolted to both through flanges which turn downward at 

 angles corresponding with each plate. The land side is exactly 

 perpendicular to the plane of the sole for six inches vertically. 



Share. 

 A straight edge laid from the heel of the land side to the point 

 of the share forms the base of a triangle, the apex of which is at 

 the point of junction between the land side plate and the share, 

 its altitude being one-half an inch. A straight edge laid upon 

 the sole of the land side and produced is a qnrter of an inch vert i- 

 cally above the point. The point is exactly in the plane of the 

 land side and not set towards the left as is usually the case. It 

 is also in a straight line with the sole of the share. The ana'le
