The Seymour Seedkaster is built of Zincgrip Steel 
in all of its main parts, with the exception of the canvas 
seed bag. Zincgrip Steel is produced by a new process 
which makes the steel rustproof. 
The body is one piece of deep drawn steel without 
a seam or weld. The streamlined steel construction 
gives strength with lightness. There is no wood to 
split or warp. The smooth surface of the sloping metal 
bottom allows the fertilizer or seed to funnel freely 
toward the outlet. 
The gears are sealed within a dust-proof chamber 
just as the working parts of a fine refrigerator or wash- 
ing machine are totally enclosed and permanently 
lubricated so that they will operate indefinitely without 
oiling or cleaning. The torsional spring drive permits 
even, positive acceleration; and the non-reversing 
ratchet coupling provides gradual deceleration of the 
fan blade. These exclusive features absorb the shocks 
of starting and stopping, and give smooth operation 
and longer life. These gears are made of steel, die cut 
to close tolerances. This accuracy in machining and 
a gear ratio of 10 to 1 provides ease in operation and 
gives a speed to the fan which results in wide, even 
distribution of the seed. 
The shutter adjustment is easily and accurately set 
because the parts are simple, strong and precisely made. 
The strong steel construction makes the Seedkaster 
capable of distributing fertilizer as well as all the seeds 
that are commonly broadcast. 
Capacity 18 quarts. Instructions for use with 
various seeds supplied with each Seedkaster. Packed 
2 in a strong fiberboard container. Shipping weight 
48 lbs. per doz.
