PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Willoughby Green at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 6th June 1859.

I, WILLOUGHBY GREEN, of 2, Victoria Street, in the City of London, and of Leeds, in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of the Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MOWING MACHINES," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in mowing machines. For these purposes the axle on which the hinder or larger drum or roller is mounted has on it a chain wheel which gives motion to an endless chain, which takes into a small chain wheel on the axle of the rotatory cutter shaft.
In place of chain wheels and an endless chain, an endless strap or band and pulleys may be used, by which combination the driving of the cutter shaft is simplified and improved.
