518 Report on the Exhibition and Trial of Implements 
adjustment for altering; the size very good, only the replacement of a wheel 
does it ; breaks any size, and screens it. Garrett and Son's machine made 
very satisfactory work, breaking the cake for sheep well : it is a well got up 
machine, and can be made to break cake to any size. Crosskill's machine made 
good work, but is rather smaller than the above machines, and can be worked 
either by hand or horse power.

Smith and Ashby's machine worked very satisfactorily ; the frame with 
two sectional parts, by which it is easily taken to pieces : the crushing-rollers 
are also in two pieces ; it is made to break different sizes by reversing the 
action of the handle. Hornsb}''s machine worked very satisfactorily. Ran- 
some and Sims' machine worked very well : the cake was broken fine, but 
not so easily as the other machines. Samuelson's machine worked satisfac- 
torily, and broke the cake with less dust. Nicholson's machine worked well.

Turner's machine worked with great satisfaction, and crushed a large quan- 
tity well in the time : it is the well-known crusher from which most other 
improvements in crushing emanated, having the two large and small rollers 
working in contact with each other ; both were well crushed — linseed second 
best, oats best crushed. Stanley's crusher worked well, and kept up its repu- 
tation ; both linseed and oats were well crushed, and not over-done ; it runs 
by straps and grooved wheels, and has a lever in front to regulate the feed. 
Ransome and Sims' machine did not crush well, owing to some error in the 
adjustment ; both linseed and oats were not well done : it is, however, de- 
serving of especial notice for its mechanical contrivances ; two small wheels 
of about 16 in. diameter crush against each other; it has two hoppers for 
linseed and oats and beans respectively : the latter it will crush at the same 
time it may be crushing linseed or oats : what we, however, wish to name 
more particularly is the casting of the barrel ; best steel blades arc modelled 
in sand at equal distances, the metal is poured in, the irou is filed away,
