AT the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, which was held at the Royal Agricultural Hall, London, from the 8th-12th of this month, there was quite a large contingent of mechanical appliances and vehicles. The Associated Manufacturers Co. (London), Ltd., showed three Case tractors, these comprising the models C and L and a three-wheeled general-purpose machine. The last mentioned is suitable for work in vineyards and hopfields, the overall width being only 43 "ins. They are all well-made machines, and the models C and L performed particularly well during the recent World Agricultural Tractor
On the stand of Fodens, Ltd., was exhibited one of the company's Speed Twelve rigid six-wheeled pneuinatictyred chassis with an open lorry body. This vehicle is designed to carry loads of up to 12 tons.
William Foster and Co., Ltd., displayed a standard 5-ton compound steam tractor, mounted on solid rubber tyres.
An engine designed for cable ploughing constituted the exhibit of John Fowler and Co. (Leeds), Ltd., the machine being equipped with a 70 b.h.p. oil engine.
Richard Garrett and Sons, Ltd., which concern is associated with Agri
cultural and General Engineers, Ltd., showed two machines, one being a rigid six-wheeled steam wagon on solid tyres and the other an A.G.E. tractor. The former was provided with an open lorry body intended for the transport of sand and gravel, and incorporated hydraulic three-way tipping gear. The tractor had a four-cylindered high-speed oil engine, manufactured under Bosch-Acre patents.
The old-established concern of J. and H. McLaren, Ltd., exhibited a tractor powered by a two-cylindered oil engine and embodying a three-forward-speed gearbox. The engine and transmission are totally enclosed, whilst the rear wheels can be interchanged with tracks.
Marshall, Sons and Co., Ltd., dist played a 15-30 h.p. single-cylinder oilengined tractor, the fuel consumption of which is said to be about .48 lb. per b.h.p.-hour. A three-speed-and-reverse gearbox is incorporated in the design.
Rototillers models 5 and 10, a 3 h.p. Monotrac cultivator and a 2 h.p. Duotrae cultivator, comprised the exhibits of George Monro, Ltd. The
5 h.p. model can be adapted for ridging, rolling, mowing, soil-shredding, and can be used as a traction hitch or as a stationary motor.
Wallis and Steevens, Ltd., showed its general purpose 6 n.h.p. steam traction engine, which was equipped with a winding drum.
The stand of the International Harvester Co. of Great Britain, Ltd., was, as usual, well attended, and not the least interesting exhibit was the company's 10-20 h.p. four-cylinder tractor. It is adapted to.run on either paraffin or petrol, and its robust construction is a notable feature. A power take-off is provided to drive agricultural implements.
Another crowded stand was that of Massey-Harris, Ltd., which exhibited a four-cylindered overhead-valve tractor. A variable-speed governor, which may be operated from the driver's seat, is one of its special features. Other characteristics include an air cleaner, threespeed gearbox, power take-oft and removable cylinder sleeves.
