Works,  Pershore.  “ Clover  Slieller.  New  design  for  thresh- 
ing and  drawing  the  seed  at  one  operation.”  Price  130/. — The 
novelty  in  this  machine,  for  which  much  convenience  and 
efficiency  are  claimed,  lies  principally  in  the  placing  of  the 
threshing  and  shelling  drums  on  the  same  spindle,  by  which 
means  the  difficulties  of  driving  the  second  drum  by  a very 
short  and  tight  belt  from  the  former  are  avoided.  The  machine 
is  divided  longitudinally  into  two  compartments,  the  one  being 
the  threshing  side,  the  other  the  shelling  side  ; and  as  threshing 
can  be  done  much  fa.ster  than  shelling,  the  threshing  drum  is 
made  2 ft.  long  and  the  shelling  drum  4 ft.  long,  both  being  on 
the  same  spindle  as  stated.  The  rest  of  the  machine  includes 
the  usual  riddles,  fans,  elevators,  &c.,  necessary  for  the  final 
delivery  of  the  seed  in  three  samples  into  sacks.  The  frame 
of  the  machine  measures  13  ft.  long  by  6 ft.  wide  ; it  is  said 
to  be  easily  driven  by  a 6 H.P.  engine,  and  the  total  weight  is 
2 tons  10  cwt.
