It is Robey’s patent iron framed threshing machine, which is described as follows : The frame, constructed of wrought angle iron on a trussed principle, is stronger than any wood frame, and is always perfectly true and rigid. It cannot be strained or twisted in travelling over rough roads, is not like a wood frame, affected by both heat and moisture ; eaves expenses in repairs, bocauses the brasses wear longer through the drum and other spindles being kept perfectly true. All the working parts are placed inside the frame. The straw, cavings, and chaff are delivered at one end of the machine, and the clean threshed corn at tho opposite end free from all dust and dirt. The drum is fitted with patent grooved boaters and steel spindle. Tho concave is of special construction of wrought iron, whereby clean and perfect threshing is secured without injury to the "rain. It is provided with indicators, and can be set to the greatest exactness for threshing all kinds of grain. Tho wearing parts are of the best gun metal, and the reciprocating shoes being very carefully balanced, the friction is reduced to a minimum. All the working parts are easy of access, both for oiling and adjustment.
