Knight's American mechanical dictionary : a description of tools, instruments, machines, processes and engineering, history of inventions, general technological vocabulary ; and digest of mechanical appliances in science and the arts . ariiig from the drive-wheels, and tearsthe peat to pieces. Peat-ma-chine. A machine by which peat,either alone or in combination with otiicr intlani-mable materials, as coal-dust, is prepared for fuel. A large number of tliese machines iiasof late yearsbeen patented in the United States. These are more or less complicated, according to their special func-tion, some being merely designed to cut the peat orto cut aiul break it, while others perform the wholeseries of operations by which it is delivered in theform of a densely pressed cake ready for drying andburning. A lew representative examples are shown. Most of the peat-machines ari^ merely grinders andpressers, which deliver the comparatively homogene-ous and dry material in blocks. These machines areso lil;e brick-machines that it would a]ipear like du-plication to repeat them here. See Bi:rk-M-\ciiin£. In Fig, 3592, the peat is cut by the pcrew-excavator B auddelivered on to the endless belt C, by which it is carried to :i Boat Ptat-Machtit hopper, where it is fed into the pulping-troujh and separatorE F. is separated iatu communicating compartment.^, aud Fig. ji
