Linseed  and  Corn  Crushers. — We  selected  four  crushers  be- 
longing to  Messrs.  Wood,  Stanley,  Garrett,  and  Whitmer.  From 
the  results  of  the  trials  made  by  us  of  these  machines  there  did 
not  appear  much  difference  in  their  work,  but  the  power  required 
was  so  much  in  favour  of  Mr.  Stanley’s,  stand  64,  art.  5,  that  we 
gave  him  the  prize.  Below  we  give  a tabular  statement  of  the 
trials  : —
