To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This machine exhibited great ingenuity and judgment in its con- struction. The frame that contained the gearing was suspended between two wheels of two and a half feet diameter, whose axle revolved and from which motion was communicated to the reel and cutters. The platform for receiving the grain was attached to the rear end of this frame, and extended out one side a distance equal to the width of the swath to be cut by the machine. The cutters which were similar to Bell's, were attached to th...e front edge of the platform, which was just in rear of the wheels. The team was attached in front of the machine, and traveled forward of the driving wheels. The grain was gathered up to the cutters, and when cut thrown back upon the platform by means of a reel placed (the centre of it) a little in front of the cutters, and made adjustable to any height desired, which was put in 'motion by a belt connecting it with the axle of, the main driving wheel, in the same manner that the reels in all the various machines are moved.
