Article  102. — Messrs.  Blackstone  Sf  Co.,  Ltd.,  Rutland 
Works,  Stamford.  “Latest  model.”  Price  15/.  15s. — This 
implement  is  constructed  on  the  principle  of  feathering  hay 
rakes,  which  could  be  revolved  to  either  hand,  or  both  drums 
could  turn  inwards  or  outwards.  The  change  is  effected  almost 
instantly,  and  these  points  might  be  of  considerable  value 
in  collecting. 
Article  157. — Messrs.  Saryeant  Co.,  Ltd.,  South  Bridge 
IV^orks,  Northamj)ton.  “ For  turning  two  swaths  simultaneously, 
the  turning  mechanism  being  ai'ranged  in  front  of  the  driver 
and  placed  under  his  control.”  “Standard.”  Price  16/. — A 
single  ring  of  sj)ring  tines  on  each  drum,  partially  supported 
and  ])rotected  by  second  skeleton  drums  on  their  after  side 
revolving  with,  but  eccentrically  to,  the  main  drums,  and  acting 
as  strippers  to  the  spring  tines  so  as  to  strip  the  crop  from  the 
tines  as  each  recedes  from  the  earth.  This  machine  was  not 
adapted  for  collecting. 
Article  552. — Messrs.  J.  Sf  F.  Lloward,  Britannia  Iron 
AVorks,  Bedford.  “ Single  Swath  Turner.”  Price  13/.  13^. — 
A single  drum  only,  turning  one  swath  at  a time.  This  is  very 
heavy  in  construction,  and  the  drum  revolves  much  too  fast, 
making  very  hard  work  for  a horse  ; hence  the  reason  for 
making  it  a single  machine  only. 
Article  1503. — Martin  s Cultivator  Co.,  Lincolnshire  Iron 
AVorks,  Stamford.  “ Martin’s  Patent.”  Price  16/. — This 
machine  was  shown  last  year,  but  there  being  then  no

opportunity  for  trial,  permission  was  given  to  re-enter  as  a New 
Implement  this  year.  The  machine  was  described  in  last  year’s 
Journal,  Vol.  64,  pp.  238,  239,  Article  1400,  then  exhibited 
by  The  Harrison  Patents  (Jo.,  Ltd.  The  illustration  (Fig.  15) 
now  given  will  help  to  make  the  description  intelligible.
