190. WINDER, RICHARD, 2 Ingram Court, Fenchurch Street — Inventor.
Model of a machine for mowing corn or grass by rotary horizontal knives, having a considerable velocity; proposed to be worked by one or two horses, according to the size the machine is required to be made. It is suggested, that two shafts (as in the model) are an improvement, by offering no impediment to the falling corn in the centre space, in allowing the machine to turn within its own length, and allowing free action to the knives while the machine is turning. Also, the means of throwing the machine in or out of gear are considered as economical and effective, as well as the means of sharpening the knives, and the distribution of the falling corn.
