Miscellaneous Implements Exhibited at Newcastle , 1908. 183 
as in the usual grist mill. The Judges were of the opinion 
that there was nothing in the idea that was a very marked 
improvement, and were not satisfied with the method of 
adjustment of the grinding surfaces. 
No. 615. — Grist Mill , with roller appliance attached to 
make soft meal. — Shown by E. R. & F. Turner, Ltd., Ipswich. 
The only novelty about this appeared to be the combination 
of grist and roller mill. 
No. 670. — An Improved Running Gear for a Motor 
Vehicle. — Shown by Leyland Motors, Ltd., Lancashire. This 
was a metal casing to enclose the Cardan shaft, and so con- 
structed that the shaft ran in oil and prevented dust from 
entering. It appeared to be the same idea, in connection with 
the Cardan shaft, that has been used for the cranks of most 
motors. 
No. 747. — Poultry Breeding Pen. — Exhibited by The 
Westmeria Company. The special feature claimed for this 
house was the ease with which poultry might be attended to 
by a lady. The bottom of the house, however, was so con- 
structed that it could not be cleaned out easily, on account of 
a sill being across the door where droppings would have to 
be taken out. 
No. 748. — Oil Motor. — By Marshall, Sons & Co., Ltd., 
Gainsborough. This was a very substantial and useful motor 
for hauling, or any agricultural work such as ploughing, 
threshing, &c., very well constructed, and, in the opinion of 
the Judges, a very suitable machine, and more on the lines 
that an agricultural motor for this purpose should be than the 
generality of oil motors now manufactured. 
No. 749. — Traction Engine. — Exhibited by the same firm. 
This engine is so constructed that all the control levers can 
be worked from the foot-plate instead of the driver having to 
stop his engine and get off. It is lightly built so as to go on 
to roads and land that will not bear a heavier engine. 
No. 1074. — Machine for making Concrete Blocks. — Ex- 
hibited by the British Concrete Company, of Liverpool. This 
was a moulding machine to be filled and consolidated by hand. 
By inserting different plates, blocks of concrete of varying 
shapes and sizes could be made. In the Judges’ opinion it 
was suitable for making concrete blocks for building any kind 
of structure in which bricks or stone might be used. 
No. 1363. — Cream Separator. — By Moeller & Condrup, Fore 
Street, London. Having a kind of worm drive placed at an 
angle to the upright spindle of the bowl ; said to be the first 
time that spindles had been worked in conjunction with each 
other at this particular angle. The Judges were unable to see 
any great advantage in this style of gearing.
