These jiositions are known as fronl-cul,cciitar-cxU, rear-cut; that is, before the driving-wheel,even with the axle, rearward of the first is shown in Figs. 2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16,21, of Plates XXXI., XXXII., XXXIII.; the sec-ond in 1 and 7, Plate XXXI.; the last inFigs. 4, 6, S, 13, 19, of Plates XXXI., XXXII. Several modes of draft also furnish peculiaritiesworthy of notice. The center-draft, as in AVilberspatent, in which the cutter-bar stretches across theTlie side-draft, in which the cutter-bar projects laterally, so that the horseswalk in the swath previously cut, not tramping inthe standing grass. This feature is shown in mostof the figures in the Plates. One other mode of draft Fig. Steam Mowing Mactiine is to be noticed, and tliat is the propeller, in whichthe cutting apparatusis ahead of the horses, whichpush the implement before them. This is the origi-nal form, it may be presumed, and was used in Gauleighteen centuries since (see figure under the subjectReaper). The form still survives in the (which see). Reapers have other features,such as reels, rakes, dro]>pers, etc., and are consid-ered under Reaper.
