It  will  be  seen  from  the  above  that  the  machine  is  attached  to 
the  tail  of  a portable  threshing-machine ; also  that  the  straw 
as  delivered  from  the  end  of  the  shakers  falls  between  two 
revolving  aprons,  which  carry  it  forwards  and  downwards  much 
in  the  same  way  as  the  cut  corn  is  carried  up  to  the  binding- 
table  of  an  American  self-binder.  The  apparatus  is  light  and 
easily  transported,  being  mounted  on  an  axle  and  a pair  of 
travelling-wheels.  Light  movable  shafts  are  attachable  to  the 
axle  for  convenience  of  transport ; and  when  the  machine  is  to 
be  set  to  work,  it  is  simply  hooked  on  to  the  threshing-machine.
