movable, avoiding' all 

 friction due to dnig-ging

 hooks, etc. 



Direct Urive — ^"itli 

 drive pulley, knife cylin- 

 der and blower fan all 

 on one shaft. One com- 

 pact set of g^ears does 

 the work. The direct 

 drive avoids trouble and 

 big repair bills. The 

 powerful lift of fan i.s 

 done at low speed — no 

 danger of blow-ups or 

 explosions — no make- 

 shift transmission 

 mechanism. 



Cuttiug' Cyliutler — The solid wall of corn steadily forced against 

 the cutting knives cannot spring them away from Cutter Bar on 

 the "Ohio," because of bearings at eacli end of knives. This is im- 

 possible on the fly wheel type where springing results in uneven 

 cutting, with long pieces of leaves to form air pockets in the silo. 

 Investigate the ne-w bearings and ring oiling-deviee, exact adjust- 

 ments, etc. 



Simplicity and Protection — Only six gears and six sprockets on 

 the entire inacliine — the gears are perfectly housed — iron or steel 

 guards cover all moving machinery- — tliere is a uniform movement 

 of feed table and rolls on any length of cut. 



Aii^er side of mncliine with fan case 

 removed. The anger prevents feed from 

 entering bloiveif in bnlky, irregular 

 quautltics. 



The friction gear wheel and outside 

 guards are removed to show compact 

 simplicity of "Ohio" gearing. In chang- 

 ing from full speed ahead to reverse 

 not a gear tooth changes mesh. The 

 peer of all reverses on the martet,

One Lever Controls All — A single 

 lever, almost human, controls 

 the entire feeding mech- 

 anism — .'^topping, starting 

 or reversing at will. It is 

 easil,y accessible. A six- 

 year-old boy can operate 

 it. 



Reverses toy Friction — 



No strain — no breakages 

 — it took three years to 

 perfect, but it is worth it. 

 Our new special wood 

 friction clutch device in- 

 stantly reverses without 

 the slightest strain — not 

 a gear tooth changes 

 mesh. Friction is coin- 

 posed of small beveled 

 wood segments easily re- 

 placed by the user.
