GREEN'S PATENT SILENS MESSOR.
GREEN'S PATENT SILENS MESSOR NOISELESS LAWN MOWING, COLLECTING, AND ROLLING MACHINES, patent dated June 6th, 1859.
THOMAS GREEN in respectfully returning thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public generally, for the very liberal support he has received for some years past, informs them that (although he has for the last three years, at all the principal AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOWS in the kingdom, proved the superiority of his Machines over all others, carrying off every prize that has been given, and highly commended by the Judges,) he has taken out this season an entirely NEW PATENT, which he with confidence submits for competition, as it excels all his previous efforts, and overcomes all difficulties.
HAND MACHINES.
The SILENS MESSOR is worked with a Patent Pinion Chain, and the motive power obtained by a direct movement, having simply a light Wheel and Pinion, obtaining the same speed, and thereby doing away with the original Wheels, Pinions, Top-shaft, Bearers, &c.; it reduces the frame of the Machine 2 inches in width; for instance, a 16-inch Cylinder or Cutters will work in a 14-inch frame, thus doing away with all the gearing before mentioned, and making the weight and friction 25 per cent. less; it is also much stronger, easier to work, and less liable to get out of repair.
HORSE, PONY, AND DONKEY MACHINES.
The SILENS MESSOR has an extraordinary advantage over all others of this class; it is worked with a patent pinion chain on each side, and although much lighter possesses greater strength. The noise has hitherto been a great obstacle in the working of these Machines; Horses and Ponies were continually taking fright at the shaking and rattling noise, running away and doing inconceivable damage.
The Silens Messor can be worked with any draught or carriage horse, however spirited, doing its work silently and effectually.
GREEN'S New Patent Double Self-Acting GRASS DELIVERING BOX can be attached to any of these Machines; it is the only perfect Self-Acting Delivering Box out; the Grass is not spread over the ground, but deposited in heaps.
