increasing or diminishing the speed of the horses, as the couplings are all alike, 

 the band wheel can be used on either shaft. For slow and powerful motion, it is 

 placed on the front or main shaft; and where great speed is required, as in thresh- 

 ing, sawing wood, &c., on the rear or counter shaft. 



These machines are constructed for one or two horses. 



Price of one horse power, $85; two horse do., $116. The thresher and separa- 

 tor are made changeable, as well as the horse power. The cylinder shaft is of best 

 cast steel, and runs in solid cast iron boxes lined with Babbit metal, making the 

 cylinder run with the least possible friction, and warranting durability. The 

 concave can be easily lowered or raised, to suit the various kinds and conditions 

 of grain, without the use of a wrench. [y/ bronze medal awarded.

Figure 2. 



No. 1 is a new style, but 



lately introduced, and is 



called the Snob or Bracket 



front. The cut represents 



the body upon full elliptic 



springs, though many are 



set upon half-elliptic side 



springs, as in cut No. 3. 



They are made either open 



or closed behind, and with 



or without panel seat.

No. 2 represents the same wagon as No. 1, with top, which is so constructed 



that, upon its removal, no evidence of its existence remains upon the seat, giving 



the wagon, in every respect, the appearance of No. 1, and entirely removing the 



olyections which have been made to all shifting top wagons heretofore constructed.
