 CARPENTER'S (iRAIN BINDER. 



While this machine (patented December 22, 1868) did not go into 

 use, it served the excellent purpose of instructing the public as to a 

 way to accomplish many of the important results now attained. 



The matter of binding centrally being the most important, in this 

 machine the binding device was so attached to a Marsh harvester as to 

 be capable of being adjusted to place the band centrally around the gavel.

JAMES F. GORDON'S GRAIN BINDER. 



In this machine (patented May 12, 1868) were embodied mechanisms 

 for binding the grain centrally. The binding device was as one part 

 with the reaping machine, and in order to bind the gavels centrally the 

 band-uniting devices only were moved relative to the length of the 

 grain. The cut grain was reeled upon the platform and moved by a rake 

 into position to be engaged by the binding devices.
