The Kirby works successfully under any of the above conditions. The Kirby Mower. The main parts of the Kir'y Slower are, a strong cast-iron frame, which cannot shrink or swell, on wliich the gearing is carried ; a finger- bar of wrought-iron, such as to secure perfect sjtilfness and strength, and a knife or cutting-bar of steel. The driver sits, with perfect safety, on a spring seat, at left side of driving wheel, having the team and cutting apparatus immediately under his eye. Tho frame and inner end of the finger-bar are balanced and raised by tho weiglit of the driver alone ; a slight lifting by the right foot in the stinnij) being all tliat is necessary to effect this. By a lever at the right hand the outer end of the bar is easily raised. In the Kirby Mower the finger-bar has no joint whatever, it is always straight, and, therefore, the knives and cutting gear are always in line, and work freely and smoothly. But tho independent action (joint) which every ni(jwer nnist have to allow it to pass flexibly and easily over elevaticms and obstructions is in the frame of the Kirby Mower, or rather in connection between tlie frame and tho drive-wlicel, and this joint answers the puri)osc etioctually and economically. A light, convenient reel is sent out with each machine, that is of the greatest advantage in mowing. Wlien properly managed it never fails to give Fio. 5G.—TjfE KiKBY Mower at Wi>rk (withoct the reel). C ' iol^^ri. Please note that these images are extracted f
