HUSSEY'S IMPROVED REAPING MACHINE. 



This illustration represents the Hussey machine manufactured 

 between 1845 and 1855. A single wheel serves to support the main por- 

 tion of the machine and gives movement to the cutting apparatus. In 

 this respect it follosvs some of the older machines, as, for instance, that 

 patented to Enoch Ambler in 1834. The single-wheeled form was put 

 on the market as early as 1841, and from that time the two-wheeled 

 Hussey reaper and the single-wheeled Hussey reaper were manufactured 

 in many little factories throughout the United States. As a two-wheeled 

 machine the original form of 1833 was adhered to.
