 set forth in the forgoing specification. 



855. J. W. FAWKES, Plows. Reis- 

 sued NOV. 22, 1859. 



Claim. 1. The employment in combination 

 with the locomotive of a bilge shaped driving 

 wheel, substantially as set forth. 



2. I do not claim broadly the invention of 

 movable spurs, but I claim the combination of 

 the sliding spurs K K, with the bilge shaped 

 driving wheel E, as herein shown and de- 

 scribed. 



3. The arrangement of the adjustable frame, 

 plows, gage wheel, driving wheel, engine, boiler 

 and guiding wheels, as herein shown and de- 

 scribed. 



19,215. WILLIAM STODDARD, 



Lowell, Mass. Plowing Machines. Jan. 



26, 1858. 



Claim. Constructing the plows X with an 

 adjustable depth-gage, e and s, attached to the 

 mold-board thereof in the manner described, 

 when such plows are connected (for operation) 

 to an endless chain or band, in combination 

 with the flexible arms J, which carry the plows 

 X and band W, essentially in the manner and 

 for the purposes fully set forth and described. 



19,427. PEIRCE KLINGLE, Washing- 

 ton. D. C. Steam Plows. Feb. 23, 1858. 

 Claim. The combination of the driving- 

 wheels B B and plows P P with the steering- 

 wheels D D, the whole being constructed, ar- 

 ranged, and operated substantially in the man- 

 ner and for the purpose herein set forth. 



194. (A.I.) to 19,427 Steam Plows. Mar. 



9, 1858. 



Claim. The placing of clearers S S, in 

 connection with the off bearing-wheel, B, of 

 my steam-plow, in such a manner that the one 

 will fill back the furrow that the other has 

 opened, they being arranged, constructed, and 

 operated substantially in the manner and for 

 the purpose herein described and set forth. 



20,122. G. W. N. YOST, Cincinnati, 

 Ohio. Gang Plows. Apr. 27, 1858. 

 Claim. 1. The torsion-spring above des- 

 cribed, in combination with the plowshares, 

 for the purpose of allowing a single share to 

 swing backward in passing stones, and then 

 automatically to replace itself in working posi- 

 tion, thus avoiding the breaking of the plow 

 or stopping of the team, substantially as set 

 forth. 



2. The use of the team-guide for managing 

 the team, so as to obviate the necessity of em- 

 ploying many drivers, substantially as described. 



3. The use of the team-shade, in combina- 

 tion with the team-guide, for sheltering the 

 team from the heat of the sun or from rain, 

 substantially as set forth. 



21,167. JOSEPH JONES, Wilmington, 

 Del., assignor to E. and J. Jones, Jr. Plows. 



Aug. 10, 1858. 



Claim. The combination of the before-des- 

 cribed gear and levers, when constructed and 

 arranged for operation conjointly, in the man- 

 ner as and for the purposes set forth. 



21,661. JAMES W. EVANS, New York, 

 N. Y. Steam Plows. Oct. 5, 1858. 

 Claim. 1. The combination and arrange- 

 ment of the main shaft G and cranks H I, 

 forming part thereof, with the main axle E and 

 driving-wheels D, by means of screw-shaft M, 

 and the bevel wheels K and L, and the screw- 

 thread N upon the axle, so that by the action 

 of the piston-rod 15, attached to crank H, the 

 reciprocating action is communicated to the 

 plows Y Y, and at the same time the machine 

 is moved forward in due proportion to the 

 stroke of the plows by the rotation of wheels 

 D, and thereby cutting a continuous furrow by 

 a rectilinear and direct thrust of the plow or 

 plows. 



2. The construction and arrangement of the 

 supports or guides-pieces P P, the pairs of ver- 

 tical rods QQQ' Q', operating by means of 

 the eccentric V, and the lever and arm T W, 

 in the manner described, for guiding, securing, 

 elevating, and lowering the plows. 



22,848, SAMUEL K. BASSETT, 



Galesburg, 111. Steam Plows. Feb. 8, 1859. 



Claim. Having the wheels B of the truck 

 A attached to separate axles C, with pivoted or 

 swiveled inner bearings b, the outer bearings 

 of the axles being fitted in guides D and the 

 outer ends of the axles being connected by 

 rods E, with racks F into which the pinions of 

 the shaft G gear, the shafts being connected by 

 the endless chains J passing around cone pulleys 

 I, placed in reverse positions on the shafts, 

 the whole being arranged to operate substan- 

 tially as shown and described, to facilitate the 

 guiding and turning of the machine, as set 

 forth. 



23,767. J. W. GOODELL, East Wall- 



ingford, Vt. Steam Spading Machines. Apr. 



26, 1859.

 the rotating plates h, arranged for joint opera- 

 tion, substantially as and for the purposes set 

 forth. 



2. The attaching of the frame A, which con- 

 tains the wheels H, to a traction engine by 

 means of a universal joint B, in connection 

 with the gearing E D and shaft C, substan- 

 tially as shown, whereby the frame and wheels 

 H are allowed to conform to the inequalities 

 of the ground, and the working parts driven 

 direct from the engine. 



25,826. JAMES HAWKINS, Wilkins, 

 Pa. Steam Plows. Oct. 18, 1859. 

 Claim. The arrangement of the frames A 

 and F, levers J and E, caster wheels G and I,
