OLIVER No. I GANG PLOW 



The beams are landed at an angle to the furrow to provide 

 a center draft. This construction distributes the strain evenly 

 along both beams and entitles the plow to the merited and 

 distinguishing name of "The Center Draft Gang Plow." It 

 gives a natural draft and makes efCective every ounce of 

 metal in the beams. 



The same good reasoning prevailed over other features of 

 the plow. It was realized that constant passing of gritty soil 

 over the plow bottom would necessarily wear, but to over- 

 come this to a great degree the plow bottom has been pre- 

 pared with shapes that offer a minimum amount of resistance. 

 It plows a uniform depth in uneven ground. 



Is raised or lowered with little or no exertion. Is adapted 

 to any soil and every condition of plowing. 



Turns to the right or left while plow bottoms are in ground. 

 Can be handled as easily as a wagon. Is light in draft and 

 perfect in work. In opening land a square and level furrow 

 is turned. 



Wheels are large and the plow runs steadily in consequence. 

 Is fitted with dust and sand-proof boxes and caps. Plows two 

 to ten inches in depth as desired at will of operator.

JANESVILLE GANG PLOW No. N-68 



The fact tha.t the Janesville bottoms are hung on a single 

 bale or crank, perfectly balanced by two springs and con- 

 trolled by an oscillating connection in the rear, makes them 

 almost absolutely independent of the frame. This freedom 

 allows the bottoms to adjust themselves perfectly to the vary- 

 ing conditions of their work. The self-leveling device which 

 attaches to the rear of the beam forms a stop on which the 

 rear of the beam rests until the point of the bottom has 

 reached its predetermined depth, at which time the stop is 

 released by a trip arm, allowing the heel of the plow to drop 

 to its normal working position. In raising the bottom this 

 action is reversed, the point coming out first. The result is 

 that the .Janesville bottoms work absolutely level in the bot- 

 tom of the furrow. The entire weisrht of the bottom, the 

 frame, the driver and the turning furrow is entirely on the 

 wheels: this arrans-ement produces the light draft always 

 found in the Janesville.
