44,077. JAMES CURTIS, Chicago, 111. 

 Steam Plows. Sep. 6, 1864. 



Claim. 1. A series of cutters fixed on and 

 rotating with a shaft so as to cut the earth from 

 the bottom of the furrow towards the surface, 

 carry the earth taken up at each cut over the 

 cutters and deposit it in a reversed position, 

 or turned over behind the cutter, substantially 

 in the manner described. 



2. The combination of cleaners with the 

 cutters when the cleaners are hinged near the 

 edge of the cutters and forced over their con- 

 cave surfaces by adjustable guides, substantially 

 as and for the purpose described. 



3. The combination of guides or rollers, ad- 

 justable on the supporting arms of the cutter 

 shaft, with the cleaners, with or without cams 

 thereon, to discharge the earth from the cutters 

 at the point desired, substantially in the man 

 ner described. 



4. The combination of the steering mech- 

 anism with the mechanism for elevating or de- 

 pressing the cutter shaft, so as to steer the car- 

 riage without changing the depth of furrow, 

 or to regulate the depth of cutting without or 

 whilst. changing the direction of plowing, sub- 

 stantially in the manner described.

 Eng., assignor to VV. P. Tatham, Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. Cultivating Land by Steam. Jan. 

 10, 1865. 



Claim. The combination herein described, 

 whereby the power of two engines, situated on 

 distant headlands, is simultaneously employed 

 in giving motion to an agricultural implement 

 by an endless rope, in manner substantially as 

 described, to haul the agricultural implement 

 alternately to and from each headland, as herein 

 explained. 



49,761. CHARLES F. JOHNSON, Jr., 



Oswego, N. Y. Plows. Sep. 5, 1865. 



Claim. 1. The plow, running at right angles, 

 or nearly so, to the forward motion of the 

 machine, in connection with the groove or 

 guides, substantially as described. 



2. The plow, rotating on an axis, so as to be 

 easily withdrawn from the ground when the 

 stroke is finished, and again presented in a 

 position to enter the ground. 



3. The guides or grooves and the cross-head, 

 for the purpose of steadying the plow, as des- 

 cribed. 



4. The arrangement of the guides and the 

 cross-head by which the back of the cross-head, 

 after emerging from the guides or grooves, can 

 rise and allow the plow to turn up endwise and 

 be withdrawn from the ground, in the manner 

 described. 



54,224. GIBSON SIMONSON, Mount 

 Carmel, Ind. Steam Plows. Apr. 24, 1866. 

 Claim. 1. The driving pulley T, slack belt 

 b, and pulley V, in combination with the idler 

 Z, under control of the operator, for starting 

 and stopping the traction wheel of a steam 

 plowing machine. 



2. The arrangement of svviveled and inter- 

 nally geared guide wheel D K, capable of be- 

 ing brought into connection with the motor by 

 means of the tiller I, so at to enable the turn- 

 ing of the machine to the right or left by power 

 under the control of the operator. 



3. The gravitating plow-fiame J, capable of 

 being set in or out of pitch by meams of the 

 swiveled and adjustable joint K L. 



4. The devices MNP/i for the suspension 

 and adjustment of the plows relatively to the 

 main frame. 



5. The arrangement of vibrating shaft /, 

 lever/', scalloped pulley q q', pulleys r s and 

 u, shaft i and chain /, or their equivalents, for 

 unearthing the gang of plows in the manner 

 explained. 



57.652. JOHN FOWLER, Jr., Corn-

 wich, Eng., and DAVID GREIG, New 

 Cross, Eng., assignors to William P. Tatham, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. Steam Plows. Aug. 28, 

 1866. 



Claim. In machinery for actuating agri- 

 cultural implements by steam power, combin- 

 ing the two drums, which alternately wind up 

 and let off the rope by which the agricultural 

 implement is drawn, with the driving shaft of 

 the steam engine, or equivalent motor, by 

 means of the cogged or toothed wheels on the 

 drums, the two sets of pinions on the driving 

 shaft, and the clutches and friction straps, or 

 the equivalents thereof, substantially as and 

 for the purpose specified. 



57.653. ROBERT FOWLER, London, 

 Eng. and ROBERT WILLIAM EDI- 

 SON, Leeds, Eng. (executors of JOHN

 Pa. Steam Plows. Aug. 28, 1866. 

 Claim. 1. In guiding the laying of the rope 



on to the periphery of the drum in machinery 

 for drawing agricultural implements by steam 

 power, combining the guiding lever for guid- 

 ing the rope with the flanched drum for draw- 

 ing and winding the rope by means of the cam 

 and differential wheels, substantially as des- 

 cribed, and for the purpose specified. 



2. Connecting the guiding lever with the 

 winding drum, so that in addition to having 

 an up and down motion to lay the rope prop- 

 erly on the face of the drum, its guiding end 

 shall be free to revolve around the drum, and 

 thus adapt itself to the angle at which the rope 

 may be hauling, substantially as described.
