42 1. — Exhibited  by  Capel  & Company,  168  Dalston  Lane, 
London,  N.  A small  vertical,  internal-combustion  engine, 
with  magneto  ignition,  and  mounted  on  wooden  skids  for 
farm  work.  Engine  was  fitted  with  a fan  brake  and  was  run 
before  us  at  about  350  to  400  revs,  on  both  petrol  and  paraffin. 
After  the  carburetter  was  adjusted  to  suit  the  fuel,  it  would 
run  equally  well  on  either.  No  foulness  or  smell  was  per- 
ceptible from  the  exhaust  whilst  using  paraffin.

Works,  Newark.  For  use  in  very  hilly  country  ; a very 
small  and  light  swath  turner,  which  would,  no  doubt,  be

at  back  capable  of  containing  about  15  cwt.  tarmac  for  small

hour  travelling,  and  1^  when  rolling.  Weight,  light  6 tons,
