not hinged to the supporting frame. The hitter was pivotally attached 

 upon the main axle, so that the cutting apparatus could rise and fall, 

 and thus pass over inequalities in the ground.

FAUCHEUSE NISHWITZ. 



Le 16 Fevrier 1858 un brevet des Etats-Unis fut accorde k 

 Frederick Nisliwitz pour perfectionnement de faiicheuses. La 

 machine etait du type Hussey de 1833, le bati principal se trouvant 

 sur un axe entre les deux roues. Differente de la devise Hussey, 

 cependant, la barre n'etait pas fixce au bati de support. Celui-ci etait 

 pivote sur I'essieu, de facon que I'appareil de coupe pouvait etre liausse 

 et abaisse et passer ainsi au-dessus des inegalites du terrain.

 HUSSEY'S MOWING MACHINE. 



On August 23, 1859, a United States patent was granted to Obed 

 Hussey for an improvement in mowing machines. It was of the single 

 driving-wheel type established by Gladstone in 1808. (See No. 78.) 

 The novelty consisted in connecting the gearing carriage to the axle by 

 means of a supplemental frame, whereby it might raise and fall in pass- 

 ing over obstructions. Not only that, but by an adjustable stop the 

 cutting apparatus could be placed at any suitable height, and there 

 maintained. Another novel feature was connecting the raising and fall- 

 ing apparatus with the outer supporting wheel in such a manner that 

 when one end was raised the other would follow. 



As shown in the patent from which the model was made, one horse 

 only was intended to be used.
