June 26, 1797. No Claim. The plow to be (except the handles and beam) of solid cas f iron, consisting of a standard, sheath and mold plate. The sheath serves a double purpose of colter and sheath and the mold plate serves for n share or point and mold board, that is to cut and turn the furrow. CHARLES NEWBOLD, Burlington, N. J. Plows. June 26, 1797. No Claim. A, the beam. B and C, the handles. D, the mold board. E, the landside. F, the share. RICHARD B. CHENOWETH, Baltimore, Md. Plows. Nov. 25, 1808. No Claim. The beam, handles, and sword, all of wood, are nearly similar in their con- struction to those of the common plow. The landside and mold board, both of cast iron, are connected with wrought screws, and there is attached to the upper side of the moldboard a share, which in its shape differs from any other now in practice, it being fastened on the upper side, of the mold board with screws, the point doubling over but running even with the landside, and leaving a hollow under the mold board, so that small stones, will pass without interruption. It is made of wrought iron whose edge is steeled, and weighing from four to eight pounds, according to the size of the plow. In Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, particularly in Maryland, the farmers prefer a plow of the above construction for deep plow- ing, and its great use is that any number of shares will fit one plow, besides, it can be kept in repair at less expense than any other. To the end of the share, but through the beam, the colter is attached, which in its make differs very little from the one commonly used. The clevis varies in its form, according to the fancy of the owner of the plow. GEORGE D. AVERY, Wood Co. Va. Plows. Dec, 28, 1818. Claim. 1. The body of the plow, before specified, together with its use and connection with other parts of the plow, as my invention and improvement. 2. The improvement of the mold-board, be- fore specified, together with its use and con- nection, with other parts of the plow, as my invention and improvement. 3. The landside before specified together with its use and connection with other parts of the plow, as my invention, and improvement. 4. The top before specified together with its use and connection with other parts of the plow, as my invention and improvement. 5. The brace bar before specified together with its use and connection, with other parts of the plow, as my invention and improve- ment. 6. The share before specified together with its use and connection with other parts of the plow, as my invention and improvement. 7. The manner of securing the beam to the body of the plow, before specified and des-. cribed as my invention and improvement. 8. The beam before specified together with its use and connection with other parts of the the plow, as my invention and improvement. STEPHEN McCORMICK, Farquier, Co. Va. Plows. Feb. 3, 1819. No Claim. This plow has a plate of wrought iron added to a bar which forms the landside, point, and share. There is a mortise hole through the share near the bar to receive the sheath and brace. The mold board is made of cast iron, and is so constructed as to fit on the share end. It has a perpendicular landside of ten inches or less, (agreable to the size of a Plow,) which has a shoulder, that butts against the sheath. The front part of the mold board has a gradual rise to the highest part of the lower edge of the mold board, and has a circular shape which forms a gradual rise to a right angle to the landside. The upper edge widens gradually until it hangs over the heel or bottom part six or eight inches. The mold board is confined to the sheath by two rivets and by two to the stilt. The shares is confined to the mold-board by a brace passing in front of the sheath through the wood or by this side of an iron beam, which is fastened by a screw ; also, a screw passing through near the edge of the mold-board and share. The head is confined by a screw to the stilt. The beam is made of iron ; is about six feet long, with a considerable curve, two inches and a half wide, and one and an eighth thick, which is large enough for three horses. The front end has holes to admit an open ring, or clevis; also, a hole through the other end, where it comes into the stilt, which is confined by a rivet pin. This beam is let into the top of the sheath, which is made of wood, and is confined by a cap of thin iron. The beam has a band of iron about five inches in front of the sheath, which is large enough on the under edge of the beam to admit a hook of one end of a brace which passes through the sheath and stilt near the heel of the plow, which is fastened by a screw. The stilts are made of wood, about five and a half feet long. Z. HARRIS, Hartford, N. Y. Plows. Mar. 17, 1819. No Claim. This plow is different from all other plows, inasmuch as the landside is com- 310 PLOWS. posed of three plates, which are fixed over each other, and the lower or under part of the plow is composed of two plates, with other pieces combined and connected, as herein- after described. The first landside-plate and the under plate are cast together, each in their proper direction or position, which is nearly at right angles. The lower part of the land- side is so formed as to be of double the thick- ness of the upper part, so that the upper part may receive the cutter, which fits the sunken part and rests on the projecting thickness, .which forms an angle of about twelve degrees, rising toward the back of the plow. At the upper part of said angular line there is a groove or cavity with a number of indents for the pur- pose of receiving the hooked part of the cut- ter, by which it may be extended at pleasure when the wearing of the cutter requires it. The cutter is a plate of steeled iron, formed to the shape of the plow in front and of a thick- ness so as to fill up the sunken part before de- scribed. The under side of the upper part of the cutter extends in a narrow form, having a hook at the end, which bends downward and catches in the indents before mentioned. When the last-mentioned plate or cutter is in its place it causes the surface of the landside to be flush and even. Over the above-described plates is placed another plate, which may be called the " shelter-plate," as it receives all the wear of the landside. It extends the whole length of the plow and covers the unfler structure. The front part partakes of the shape of the cutter and recedes a little from it. It is fastened either by screws or bolts, which make the whole landside firm and secure. The plate of the under side of the plow, which is cast with the first plate of the landside, has on its upper surface an indented groove, the indents of which receive the hooked part of a straight bar, which lies fixed in the groove and projects in front of the plow and forms what is called the " nose.'' This bar, as it wears in plowing, may be extended and turned at pleasure. On the right-hand side of the above-mentioned groove there is a rising ratchet or toothed edge, the indents of which prevent the under cutter from shifting its situation when in the act of plowing. The under cutter is formed of a proper shape to suit the under part of the plow, and is made either of wrought-iron steeled or entirely of iron. The inner side is bent down- ward for the purpose of catching in the ratchets or teeth, before mentioned, when wanted to be brought forward when it wears in plowing. Toward the inner side of said cutter there is a long perforation for the purpose of admitting through it the staples rising from the cast plate, which fastens the cutter by a key. The mold-board is a separate piece, and made of cast-iron, having proper staples or bolts in their proper situations for the purpose of fixing it by keys or otherwise, or it may be fixed by screws. This new construction . of a plow may be adapted to any plow already in use, and the cutters may be made either of steel, wrought- iron, or cast-iron. JETHRO WOOD, Poplar Ridge, N. Y. Plows. Sep. i, 1819. Claim, i. Constructing the part of the plow heretofore and to this day generally called the "mold-board," in the manner hereinafter men- tioned. 2. The mold-board, which is the result of profound reflection and of numberless experi- ments, is a sort of piano-curvilinear surface, as hereinbefore stated, having the following bear- ings and relations : 3. An exclusive privilege in the inventions and improvements made by him in the con- struction of the cutting-edge of the mold-board, or what may be called in plain language " the plowshare." 4. The exclusive right of securing the han- dles of his plow to the mold-board and land- side of the plow by means of notches, ears, loops, or holders cast with the mold-board and landside, respectively, and serving to receive and contain the handles without the use of nuts and screws. 5. An exclusive right to his invention and improvement in the mode of fitting, adapting, and adjusting the cast-iron landside to the cast- iron mold-board. 6. The right of varying the dimensions and proportions of the plow and of its several sec- tions and parts in the relation of somewhat more and somewhat less of length, breadth, the thickness, and composition according to his judgment or fancy, so that all the while he adheres to his principle and departs not from it.

ROBERT SWEENY, Warren, Co. Ohio. Plows. May 18, 1827. No Claim. The mold being of cast iron, with a square shoulder to rest on the sheath, with two square countersunk holes, through which screws are placed, the one fastening the mold to the sheath and the other fastening the share to the mold. On the hinder part of said mold, there is a limb projecting from the in- side, through which a screw also passes to the share, making fast the hinder part of said mold to the hinder part of said share. There are also two holes through the mold, through which rivets are placed fastening said mold to the sheath. There also two other holes through which rivets are placed fastening said mold to the right hand handle of said plow. The share is made of wrought iron a wrought landside with steel on the heel and edge and also a steel point extending back, covering the point of the mold to prevent roots, &c, from lodging under said mold. There are also two holes in the share, one before and the other back, to receive the screws from the mold aforesaid. The cutter of said plow is made of wrought iron, with a steel edge, setting closely to the 312 PLOWS. mold, behind a small shoulder, on said mold within half an inch of its point, and made fast to the share by a hook welded on its inside the upper end of which penetrates the beam and is made fast by a screw on top. There is, further more an iron bolt passing through the beam and sheath, bracing the whole together. The beam handles and sheath of said plow are constructed similar to those of other plows now in use the improvement here claimed, as aforesaid, differing from other plows now in use particularly in the cutter, which is en- tirely new, the mold differing also from other plows now in use by having the screw behind and in the sheath, before described differing also in the manner in which it receives the cutter. The shape of the mold also differs from others in use, but which difference is in- describable. WILLIAM BEACH, Philadelphia, Pa. Plows. June 27, 1827. Claim.

Claim. The manner of making the share and mold board, as before described, the plate or floor which connects them together, the cross-bar, the saddle or seat on which the beam rests, also the bolt passing through the beam and connected with the cross-bar of the share, and landside having a thumbscrew on top for regulating it. EDMUND M. WAGGONER, Adair Co., Ky. Plows. Jan. 12, 1831. No claim. All parts pressed by or coming in contact with the earth are of metallic substance, the bar-share and point of wrought iron and steel, the mold or rolling board of cast iron. The bar and share are welded together, forming one piece. (See Plate A.) The bar is sloped projectively from its center to the front point. (See Plate B, Figures 1 and 2.) The share is of a solid triangular shape, forming a level base on top to the width of the rolling-board P A F 1 23, thence sloped down at near right angles, so as to form a smooth and regular cir- cle with the face of the rolling-board from one point to the other, and upon the entire face of the plow P B F 3 4 5, the front edge of the rolling-board serving as a colter, being cast solid in front, with a sharp edge extending up near the under part of the beam, forming a quarter-circle, P B F 6 7, having two wrought screws cast in said board, the one in its heel, the other in the rear side of the solid part P A F 4 10, through which part is also cast a tube-hole, terminating two-thirds width in the rear of said board P A F 5 and B F 14. The stock (consisting of a wooden beam, a sheath, helve, two handles and three rounds) is united to the rolling-board permanently, with the wrought screw in its rear, which passes through the sheath or helve and screwed firm; P B F 8, an iron rod passing through (from the under part of the share) the tube-hole in the rolling-board, through the beam, and screwed by a tap on top; P A F 6 and PBF 9 10, an iron bolt passing through the face of the board and sheath and riveted. The han- dles are put on with iron pins, screws and taps; P A F 7 8 9, a lock rod or brace extending through the sheath to the under part of the beam, along the same near the end, where it is attached to the clevis by a screw-driver which passes through the beam and clevis; P B F 1 1 12, an iron bolt passing through said rod or brace, the beam, and screwed at top P B F 13. The stock and rolling-board thus united is designed not to be separated, and when placed upon the bar and share the whole is perma- nently bound together by the screw in the heel of the board, a screw-pin in the front point thereof, P A F 10 11, both of which pass through the level base of the share and screwed by taps underneath, as also by the iron rod which passes through the share, the tube-hole in the board, and through the beam, with a screw and tap on the top; P B F q 10. the PLOWS 313 clevis designed to give or take the land and to regulate the depth of the plow P B F 15. The plow is adapted to work with or with- out a colter, and designed for fallowing, ridg- ing and ditching farm lands, draining marshes, turn piking roads, and repairing highways. The projective slope of the bar and share gives to the plow a descending draft, which causes it to draw to and retain its hold in the earth to the depth regulated or required. The rolling-board and face of the share, forming a regular circle and passing on at near right angles, roll, bed and pulverize the earth at one and the same time, placing the surface soil to the depth the plow runs and bringing the clay or subsoil upon the surface. All parts of the plow which are pressed by the earth, being metallic, immediately scour smooth, cut, slide, and roll off the earth with- out friction or compression, which renders the draft extremely light, and from the combina- tion of its parts is rendered the more perma- nent by a hard draft. JOHN DEATS, Roxbury, N. J. Plows. Dec. 28, 1831. Claim. The before described improvements in the mold-board, the main landside, the bot- tom landside, the cutter, the projection or ear on the share, and space in the same at the heel the plate of iron under the share, and the dove- tail piece of cast-iron in the end of the beam. 70. JOHN DEATS, Roxbury, N. J. Plows. Dec. 28, 1831, Reissued May 16, 1845. Claim. 1. The manner in which the main landside piece B is combined with the mold- board by means of the piece h h, cast onto the landside, and fitting into the recess prepared for it on the front edge of the mold-board, the two parts being drawn together by means of a wedge entering the space k, as set forth. 2. The manner" herein set forth of forming and combining the bottom landside-piece, e e, by which form and combination this piece is rendered reversible and capable of regulating the pitch of the plow, as set forth. 3. The manner of forming and combining the reversible cutter b, extending from front to rear of the upper part of the landside, so as to constitute a part thereof, and being capable of being set forward to any required extent from the manner in which it is connected to the main landside-piece. 4. The manner of confining the combined share and point in place by means of the bolt //, passing up through the sheath, the bolt s, and the recess and tongue / u. 5. The particular manner of combining the clevis with the piece x, let into the end of the beam, so as to operate in the manner de- scribed. JOSEPH DUDLEY, Fleming Co., Ky. Plows. May 8, 1832. No Claim. The share and mold-board are all in one piece, and the landside is formed with an- upright bar, that is attached to it near the point of welding, so as to form a regular circular from the point of the landside up the upright bar high enough to receive the front of. the share. The share is attached to it by weld- ing. The upright then passes straight up through the beam, and is secured by a screw and tap on the top of the beam. It is further secured by a brace that passes from the heel- screw across the upright bar about two inches below the beam, where it is secured by a short bolt that passes through the upright bar and brace, with a screw and tap on it. The brace then passes on through the beam, and is se- cured on top of the beam with a screw and tap, all of it made of wrought or rolled iron. The heel is made straight with the outside of the landside-bar and long enough from the turn to extend eight or nine inches up the handles, with the head of the heel-screw countersunk level with the bar. JOHN BUCH, Fairfield, Ohio. Plows. Dec. 28, 1832. No Claim. The landside and mold-board are both of cast-iron, and, as will be seen in the model, are separate and detached pieces. They are fastened together at the lower end of the plow by a lock, and at the upper end by a screw passing through the landside, sheath, and mold-board. The landside and mold-board, it will be seen, are retained in their proper re- lative positions and made secure by a large screw passing from the bottom of the plow through the mold-board and beam, to which it is fastened by a tap. It will also be observed that the sheath passes up through the beam, and is made fast to the landside of the plow by an iron loop, which forms a part of said land- side. This improvement I claim as one entirely novel, and it has the effect of rendering the whole architecture of the machine more firm, consolidated, and secure than any other now in use, and is so considered by a number of practical men who have tested its operation. The share is movable and of wrought-iron, and is attached to the plow in the manner as repre- sented in the model. The advantage of this is obvious, as when necessity requires it can be taken off to be either sharpened or steeled. The manner in which the share is attached to the mold-board and secured to the landside differs from all other plows I have ever seen, and will be particularly observed by referring to the model. The model, it will be further observed, is that of a left-hand plow. I also manufacture them right-handed, differing in no other par- ticular from the model herewith submitted, both of which kinds I wish to be embraced in the Letters Patent. CHARLES B. TAYLOR, Bainbridge, Ohio. Plows. Aug. 23, 1833. The mold is nineteen inches at the top and 3U PLOWS seventeen inches at the bottom, of cast-iron, being thirteen inches high. The landside, eighteen inches long, of cast-iron, it and the mold-board being cast solid or in one piece. The top of the mold has a small stem two inches wide and one inch thick to pass through the beam ; a share thirteen inches long and two inches wide, cast solid with the mold-board ; a colter, of steel, twelve inches long and six inches wide, two inches on the landside and three on the mold-board, fastened by two screw- bolts passing through the colter and mold- board ; a second share, of steel, fifteen inches long and seven inches wide, fitting up to a shoulder or rabbet in the mold-board and run- ning an inch and a half under the first share and made fast by two screw-bolts, the colter and second share being welded at the point ; a plate of steel put on the outside of the land- side, fastened by two screw-bolts; a wooden- beam four feet long, and two handles three feet long, handles fastened together by three rings. What I claim as my invention or improve- ment in the above is — The cast-iron share or first share, cast solid with the mold board, the landside, cast solid or in one piece, the steel plate on the landside, the second share being of steel and split and made so as to fit on a shoulder on the mold- board and cover the second share on top and project an inch and a half on the under side, being welded fast to the colter at the point, fastened by two screw-bolts to the mold-board, the colter, of steel or iron, split and made ex- tending three inches on the mold-board, two and a half on the landside, fastened by two screw-bolts, the mold-board being of the form of the Gary or Bull plow. ELISHA KELLY, Bainbridge, Ohio. Plows. Aug. 26, 1833. Claim. The rod D, for securing the handles A, to the mold-board, in connection with the hasp. The removable cutter C, of sheet iron. PETER HASTINGS, Dagsboro, Del. Plows. Dec. 19, 1833. No Claim. The invention consists in cast- ing the movable share and landside sufficiently deep to protect the front of the mold-board from most of the wear to which it is exposed. To effect this object a recess is cast in the mold- board sufficiently large and deep to receive the improved share and landside. The share is then attached to the mold-board by bolts and screws. The cutting of the sword is performed wholly by the cutting-edge of the share, and not by any part of the mold-board, whereby a considerable saving of mold-boards is accom- plished. ANTHONY TAYLOR, Green Township, Ohio. Plows, Dec. 26, 1833. No Claim. The colter instead of being a separated piece or attached to the mold board forms a part of the share, which is joined to the upper surface of the mold board rather than the nether, as the others permitting the part that forms the colter to rest about one third its base upon the mold board the upper edge of the share bedded into the mold-board, so that they present an even surface to the furrow the share and colter fastened to the mold-board by means of a screw that passes throngh the share and mold board and tightens underneath by means of a nut ; second, the horizontal surface of the mold board is nearly spherical instead of being straight, the advan- tage of which is it operates with the colter to facilitate the breaking of the turf; third, the left side of the mold board is continued up, forming the bolt that passes through the beam of the plow, having a shoulder to give the beam a permanent rest ; fourth, the front sur- face of the mold board from the angle of the share and colter to the rear point has no con- cavity, as the plows of which is an improvement but is straight, entering the ground upon the the principle of the inclined plane. DICHARD B. CHENOWETH, Baltimore, Md. Plows. Mar. 17, 1834. Claim, I distinctly claim the application of the share, with two points and which admits of a reverse application to the mold board and which by means of reversing the application sharpens itself by use. JAMES JACOBS, Maysville, Ky. Plows. July 8, 1834. Claim. The construction of the described mold-board, lies on the concavity and convex- ity produced, on the surface to obtain the rules laid down for drawing the lines on which the segments of the different circles are to be struck according to the desired end by means of or according to the arch given by the per- pendiculars, raised from them. NATHAN ROBINSON, Sackets Harbour, N. Y. Plows. Feb. 13, 1835. Claim. A plow formed upon the princi- pals, or in the manner herein set forth, by which it is made to run more easily and cleanly than those now in use. BENJAMIN JOHNSON, Hickory Grove, Ills. Plows. Feb. 20, 1835. The advantages of the first are that the draft is rendered more lighter in consequence of their being less friction, the spaces between the ribs preventing that clogging and accu- mulation of earth and soil, common to the mold board, and that all or any part of the ribs can be taken off at pleasure and a heavy plow made light, according to the the work to be performed. By the second the stock is much simplified and rotting prevented there being no wood coming in contact with the earth. By the third the cost of the plow with this improvement will be much less than those in common use it being so simple and so cheap construction. By this means, also, the pitch of the plow can be regulated in a moment bv PLOWS 315 the screws and bolts passing through the eyes and beam. The durability of the plow so far as the stock, and ribs are concened is greatly increased from the fact that all the wood is above ground and no joints are exposed to re- ceive the water and thereby occasion rot. Claim. I. The first and most important is in the use of the ribs in place of the common mold board. 2. The heel of the plow extending up to the wood. 3. The plan of stocking the plow. NATHAN BAKER, Penn Township, Mich. Plows. Mar. 24, 1835. No claim. In the triangle No. 1 is a repre- sentation of the curvature of the fore part of the mold-board, and it varies from a straight line nineteen and one-half inches in length, extended from the point of the plowshare to the height of eleven and one-half inches per- pendicular. The first distance, taken at right angles from said line six inches from the point of said share, was found to be two and one- half inches to said mold-board; second dis- tance, taken as aforesaid, ten and one-half inches from said point is two and three-quar- ters inches; third distance, taken as aforesaid, fourteen and one-half inches from said point, is two inches. In triangle No. 2 is a representation of the curvature of the aforesaid mold-board, showing its variation from a straight line thirty-eight inches long, extending from the point of the plowshare to the extreme hind part of the mold- board to the height of ten inches perpendicu- lar. The first distance, taken from said line nine inches from the point of said plowshare, and at right angles, is one and three-quarters inch from said line to the mold-board; second distance, fifteen inches from said line, taken as aforesaid, is two inches; third distance, taken as aforesaid, twenty-one inches from said point, two and three-eights inches; fourth dis- tance, taken as aforesaid, twenty-seven inches from said point, two and three-eighths inches; fifth distance, taken as aforesaid, thirty-three inches from said point, one and one-half inch. In the tiiansje No. 3 is a representation of the mold-board, showing its variation from a straight line twenty-four inches long, extend- ing from the point of said plowshare, and di- viding the angle formed by the intersection of the other two lines in two equal parts, to the top of the mold-board to the height of eleven inches. The first distance, taken at right angles from said line to the mold-board, nine inches from the point of said share, is three and one-half inches; second distance, taken as aforesaid, fourteen inches from said point, is four inches; third distance, taken as aforesaid, nineteen inches from said point, is three and one-half inches. Figure No. 1 is a side view of said plow. A is the beam, six feet long; B, the colter, the point made of steel, and extending six inches beyond the point of the plowshare; C, the mold-board, including the front side, which is four inches wide; D*and E, the handles. Fig. No. 1, is a top view of the said plow. A is the mold-board, made of cast iron; C, the plow- share or point, made of steel, twenty-one inches in length and four inches in breadth. The said steel-pointed plow will turn a fur- row square over, so as to make a joint with the preceding furrow when propelled by any suffi- cient power. WILLIAM M. WALKER,, Washington- ville, Pa. Plows. Oct. 6, 1835. Claim. The peculiar formation of the sheath or standard, and the projections on the inner sides of the mold-board which give the sheath or standard a leaning position, and cause the plow to take land as described. JOHN DOLHANER, Canton, Ohio. Plows. Jan. 15, 1836. No Claim. 1. In the beam, which is described as follows, to wit: length of the beam, (from letter D to letter E in the drawing,) five feet six inches. The part of the drawing marked D C E represents the landside, and not the top of the beam. From letter D to letter C is two feet six inches, and on the landside straight. At letter C it curves to the left toward mold- board side, or, rather, at that point describes an obtuse angle, and thence runs straight to letter E, three feet, and one and three-fourths inch to the left of a straight line continued as between D and C. The foregoing represents a left-hand plow. For a right-hand plow it should be reversed. The effect is that it causes the plow to cut the proper quantity of land, and in a great measure to guide itself. 2. In the mold-board and landside, which are so constructed that the landside enters a groove in the mold-board at such a distance from the point of the latter as not to weaken it, and is riveted so as to give permanency and strength, whereas, according to the old modes of constructing, the landside is merely lapped on the mold-board for reference. (See draw- ing at letter A.) 3. In that part of the landside which is fast- ened to the handle. The particular improve- ment consists in this, that the upper part of the back end projects backward in such a man- ner as to strengthen the handle by covering it. (See drawing at letter B.) DAVID PROUTY AND JOHN MEARS, Dorchester, Mass. Plows. Mar. 4, 1836. Claim. 1. The inclining the standard and landslide so as to form an acute angle with the plane of the share. 2. The placing the beam on a parallel to the landside within the body of the plow, and its center nearly in the perpendicular of the center of resistance. 3. The forming the top of the standard for brace and draft. 316 PLOWS NATHAN LOCKLIN, Sparta, N. Y. Plows. Apr. 28, 1836. Claim. 1. The peculiar formation of the mold-board, landside and share, as described. 2. The drag at the rear end of the mold- board. JACOB PLANK, Carlisle, Pa., Plows, June 2, 1836. Claim. In the wing of the model-board and brace, the wing of the side piece and joint in which the side piece fits and the branched iron brace as specified. JOSHUA GIBBS, Canton, Ohio. Plows. June 16, 1836. No claim. In the mold -board which has on the front part at letter B in Drawings Nos. 1 and 2, a slip-mortise to receive a tenon on the landside, as hereinafter described. In the landside, which has on the front end, at letters A in Drawings Nos. 1 and 3, an offset towards the mold-board, or a tenon which laps into and closely fills the slip mortise in the mold-board, leaving the outer surface smooth. The benefits of these are that the two pieces are fastened firmly together, and firmness and so- lidity are thereby given to the plow. . In the bottom of the model-board, as repre- sented in Drawing No. 4, letters C and D, which drawing represents the bottom of the model-board. The dotted line in said drawing running at right angles from the landside (rep- resented by letter C) is the rear of the bottom of the mold-board according to the present mode of constructing them. The black line in the rear of this dotted line (at letter D) is the rear termination in my improvement. It pro- jects three-fourths of an inch back of the dotted line and rests against the main post. This for- mation of the mold-board also gives greater strength to the plow. In the long screw running up through the share, the mold-board, and the beam, com- monly called the " false colter." Instead of being straight, according to the old mode, it is one-third larger in diameter at the lower end, where it passes through the share, than at the upper part. After it has passed up through the mold-board, the head of the false colter de- scribes but half a circle, leaving one side of it smooth, in order that it may pass through the share close to the bar of the share. This plan leaves the false colter strong at the lower part, where the strain comes, and smaller at the up- per part, where it passes through the beam, so as not to weaken the beam. TIMOTHY MILLER, Pittsburg, Pa. Plows. July 2, 1836. Claim. The convex curvature on the out- side of the landside ; also the bar on the inside of the landside ; also the groove in the mold- board ; also the countersunk hole in the model- board ; also the bars on the shares and projec- tions ; also the rib or bar cast to the back of the model- board. 259.

(Drawing Lost.) JAMES Y. HUNT, Tunbridge, Vt. Plows. Dec. 24, 1824. No Claim. The plow, except one handle, may be made as usual, meaning the wood part ; the colter, wrought - iron, eighteen inches long, with a swell in the hind part sufficiently large for a gudgeon to be put in three-fourths of an inch and also a gudgeon hole in the post behind on the land-side, of said dimension. There is to be one land-side made of cast or wrought iron, said land-side to be one and a half inch square, with two shims and mold-boards, made of wood or iron, attached to the same by welding, screw- ing, or casting. She land-side, with its appenT dages, is to be connected with the colter and said post on the land-side by gudgeons three- fourths of an inch diameter, and so construct- ed that by turning said plow over the shims may be shifted in such a manner by drawing a bolt, which is run through the hind post and supports the shims either way. You may plow, turning the earth all one way, by plac- ing the nigh ox in the furrow going, and the off ox in the furrow returning. The plow may be constructed on a greater or smaller scale, the main principle contended for is the turn- ing the plow on the gudgeons. PHILIP and BENJAMIN ALTENDER- FER, Richmond, Penn. Side Hill Plows. June 11, 1829. No Claim. . Beam with double mold - board pointing both ways, but both falling on the same side ; two shares and two colters also pointing in opposite directions, the space between the shares being closed, and also the mold-board being closed on the land-side. To the above mentioned beam there is another beam which runs or rather revolves upon a pivot in the centre of the first mentioned beam. To the latter beam the handles are attached and when it is desired to turn the horses it can be done at pleasure. The upper beam is secured upon the lower by a screw upon the pivot and by an iron pin at the end to which the handles are at- tached ; which pin can be drawn out at pleas- ure whenever it may be desirous to change the the direction of the plow. cyrus h. Mccormick, Rockbridge Co. Va. Hill Side Plows. June 13, 1831. Claim. The combination and arrangement of the different parts of the described plow so as to effect the turning and securing the mold- board and other parts of the plow to the share but particularly in making the mold-board to turn whilst the share remains stationary and af- terwards locking it to the share, together with an improvement in the construction of the share. JOHN WEAVER, Brownsville, Pa. Plows Aug. 17, 1832. Claim. 1. The moving beam as applied to single and hillside plows. 2. The double sheth. 3. The shoe. 4. The pivot passing through the shoe on which the irons turns. 5. The manner in which the colter is at- tached to the sheth. 6. The plate on the under side of the beam, which takes the stress off the bolt which comes up through the beam, and on which the beam, moves. 7. The regulating cap or cam. 8. The joint or hinge with two tempering- screws, one for regulating the band and the other for altering the projection of the mold- board to suit the different grades of hills. 9. The rod or brace which extends from the sheth, to the hind end of the mold-board. 10. The bolt on the foot of the hind sheth, on which the supporting rod or brace turns. (Drawing Lost.) CALVIN DELANO, Livermore, Me. Side Hill Plows. July 5, 1833. No Claim. There are two shares, each eighteen inches long and sixteen inches wide, with sockets made in the hind ends to receive the chips. The chips are two feet long each, the ends of which must be put six inches into the sockets prepared in the shares. The chips and shares are opposite each other. There is one colter, one end put into one share and the other end into the other share. The wings of the shares are facing each other, and are placed sixteen inches apart. The chips are put two feet apart at the hindermost ends, and are connected to- gether by two posts, one at the hind end and the other near the sockets of the shares. A stay or square piece of timber is put about twelve inches behind the wings of said shares and about fifteen inches from the hind post, supported by two rounds put into said stay and post. One end of the mold or furrow board is made fast to the forward post and fitted to each share. The other end is made fast to the stay, the center of said mold-board running by the stay six or eight inches. It commences and continues swelling from the stay to the end sufficient to turn the furrow. The said mold- board may be made in one or more pieces. The beam is about five feet long and four inches square at the center or middle, is straight on the inside, and diminishes on the other sides to the ends. The said beam is put on the landside of the plow, one end hung at the cen- ter of the hind post on a bolt put through the beam-post and handle, secured by a nut and also by a knee made fast to the beam, which goes on the forward post so as to slip. There is a clasp made fast to the beam and made to 574 SIDE-HILL go round the colter, so that the beam will slip from one share to the other. The handles are about three feet long, hung at the hind end of the plow, one hung at the center of the mold-board, near the hind end, with a hinge, the other at the center of the hind post on a bolt that is put through the beam and post. The said handles are made fast together by two or more rounds, and hook up to the hind ends of the chips in staples there fixed. Said handles are made stationary and firm at pleasure by two stay-braces, which are hung by hinges to the upper round connecting said handles, and at the other end unite in a triangular form, terminating nearly in a point, having two bolts or hooks, one on each side of said point, for the purpose of fastening it in the aforesaid staples. The beam, when plow- ing, is slipped up to the share, which receives the chip the handles hook onto. In order to go back, unhook the handles, turn the plow over, and hook the handles to the other chip. When the team pulls, the beam will slip up to the other share. The plow is designed for the purpose of plow- ing on the side of hills, and for that purpose is particularly useful. In operating, a furrow is first plowed at the foot or base of the hill. When the team is go- ing back (returning) another furrow is plowed, turning the furrow all the time downhill. Said plow will also turn well on level ground. The dimensions given are for a common breaking-up plow. With this plow a team will break up as much ground on the side of a hill as it will upon level land with the common plow in the same time.

JOHN FOWLER, Jr., London, Eng., assignor to William Penn Tatham, of Philadelphia, Pa. Machines for Plowing and Tilling Lands. July 9, 1861. Patented in Eng. July 14, 1858. This invention relates to that class of ma- chinery for plowing by steam in which a loco- motive steam engine moves at given intervals along one edge of the field, and ropes pass from the engine to and around a pulley in an anchor, which is moved at intervals along the opposite edge of the field, the said ropes being attached to plows to draw them across the field alter- nately in opposite directions, and the invention consists in a method of mounting two drums on the plows, on each of which a portion of the hauling rope is wound, so that they will take up the slack of the rope behind them, the drums being usually turned by manual power. Claim. Mounting on plows or other tilling instruments an apparatus for taking up the slack rope by the pull of the rope drawing the plows or other tilling instruments, substantially as described. 32.810. JOHN FOWLER, Jr., Haver- ing, and WILLIAM WORBY, Ipswich, Eng., assignors to William Penn Tatham, Philadelphia, Pa. Machines for Tilling Land by Steam. July 9, 1861. Patented in Eng. July 10, 1856.

JOHN FOWLER, Jr., Cornhill, County of Middlesex, ROBERT BUR- TON, Kingsland, DAVID GREIG, New Cross, and JEREMIAH HEAD, New- castle-on-Tyne, Eng., assignors to W. P. Tatham, Philadelphia, Pa. Drums or Pulleys to Prevent Ropes from Slipping in Machinery for Plowing and Tilling Land by Steam. July 23, 1861. Patented in Eng. Jan. 24, 1859. This invention consists in the employment of a winding drum, so constructed as to hold the rope firmly and draw the plow steadily forward, notwithstanding the rope only passes partially around the drum. On the periphery of the drum is mounted a series of levers turning on centres, and so placed that, as the rope comes up to the drum, it rests on the ends of the levers, and the pressure of the rope causes their ends to move in towards the center of the drum. Immediately beyond the ends of the levers a flange is formed on the drum, and the axes on which the levers turn* being nearer the centre of the drum than the point at which the rope enters on the drum, causes the rope to become jammed between the ends of the levers and the flange on the drum. Claim. The mounting on a hauling or wind- ing drum a series of levers or instruments on axes or centres, in such a manner that the motion of the levers or instruments caused by the strain or pressure of the rope will nip the rope, substantially as described. 33,882.
