PUBLIC NOTICES. JOSEPH NICHOLSON’S . New Patent Double-speed Back- , delivery 'REAPING AND MOWING MACHINE. ; The success of tbe above Machine has been unparalleled in the Colony, as regards ' the' great satisfaction it has given to the. agricultural community. A Ithoiigh only introduced late last season, the large nhmber of testimonials received as' to its efficiency, and the great number sold, show the estimation which agriculturists plage ojj this new invention. * List op First-class Prizes awarded in--1872. . First Prize— Geelong Agricultural Show First Prize—Ballatat Agricultural Show First Prize—Clones Agricultural Show .First Prize—Smeaton Agricultural Show ; First Prize--(Silver Medal) Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition ; First Prize—Beaufort Agricultural Show , First Prize—Gipps Land Agricultural Show First-Prize—(Gold Medal) Dunedin Agricultural Show Judges’ Certificate—Longford, Tasmania, as the best Reaper for general purposes, in the yard. To instantly obtain a change of speed, I supply my new Patent Reaper with an eccentric bush on the axle of the main driving and my, driving wheel is constructed witli two sets of toothed gearing of different diameters for driving the pinion through which the knife-bar receives its motion ; the eccentric bush having a lever attached which . works in a quadrant with three perforations in it to receive the catch on the spring, and, by simply moving the iever to any of these perforations, the, psachine can be easily thrown into fast speed, slow speed, or out of gear. It has also Levers attached to both of the machine, so as to regulate the Tieight required to be cut. 1 . The obj ect of this improvement is to obviate the necessity of substituting one pinion for another in order,to obtain a change of speed. Tim great inconvenience and loss of time that arises from this is perfectly well known to all practical farmers. : ■ Having succeeded in this long desired object, I have secured iny pit'mt rights all over the world. These Reapers have been largely sold in Otago for ten years, the yearly increasing demand for them, and the hundreds of testimonials received from all quarters, and the best proof of their superiority. To prevent disappointment, orders should be sent to me as cany as possible, Csta- 1 ;logues, and prices sent, post free, on application. ‘Sole Agent for Otago— G. F.
