1970 recreation of a 1920s scene. Typical horse-drawn binding reaper. The bound sheaves were collected and up-ended to dry out in 'shooks' of about a dozen sheaves. Part of a row can be seen on the right of the photograph. One sheaf has just been ejected from the binder and another can be seen collecting in the binding position ready for the automatic knotter.
Typical late-afternoon scene in almost any Cornish scene in the 1920s or '30s. The machine is a cultivator, known all over Cornwall as a 'scuffler'. The height of the tines is adjustable through the handle on the driver's right.
West of England Steam Engine Society's 28th Annual Rally. A Mardsen stone crusher built in 1920 and driven by John Dyke's Wallis & Steevens S/C Traction Engine 2672.
