Fig. 55 is an elevation of the furrow-side ; fig. 56 a plan of the snle-bar of the frame in- verted ; and a vortical s(;ction, on the line x x, is given in fig. 57. In all the figures, then, a a is the sole-bar, with two arms, b and c, extending upward, and having at the lower cdgg a Hangc d, running along the rightiiand-sidc. Each of the arms b c ter- minates in a palm, ef, by which it is bolted to the beam. The arm c is furnislied, beside, with an oblique palm or ear, g, upon which the fore edge of the mould- board rcsLs, and to which it is bolted. The sole-bar a, with its flange, terminates forward in the head h, which is here made to form the commencement of the twist of the mould-board, and upon which the share is fitted, reaching to the dot- tod line ii, fig. 55. The fore edge k, /. / of the frame is worked into the curve answering to the oblique section of the fore edge or breast of the mould-board, and serves as a support to the latter throughout their junction. The curvature given to the arm b is unimportant to the action of the plow, but the general oblique direction here given to it is well adapted to withstand the thrust con- stantly exerted in that direct
