On one occasion he had the machine in the yard, he was standing study- ing over it, drawing down, as was his habit, his underlip. Finally he called me to him, the machine did not work to suit him, and asked me my opinion about some change he intended making in his Reaper. I was a millwright and working in the yard near him. I gave him my advice as far as I could, and then as he stood there studying, I remarked to the old gentleman: "Mr. McCormick, this is not Cyrus' invention, it is yours, is i...t not?" He replied at once: "Yes, but I intend to give Cyrus the benefit of it." I have no doubt myself that Robert McCormick was the original inventor of the machine. It was the general opinion of the community around and about Robert McCormick that he was the inventor, and this was justified by the constant and unremitting labor and attention Robert McCormick bestowed on the machine and his known ingenuity and skill in working and in inventing. He invented a Threshing machine and I erected one of them, that was run by water.
