Description: |
| From the American Agriculturist, 1844
This machine, Smith's Power Corn Sheller and Separator, consists of a horizontal toothed cylinder, six feet long and 1 foot, two inches in diameter. The ears of corn, in the operation, are confined to a part of the upper and rising side of this cylinder, by means of a cast iron concave extending the whole length of the machine, and, being shoveled or let in the machine at one end, they are driven through, and the cobs discharged at the opposite end, while the grain falls below. The operation is governed by elevating or depressing the discharge end, which causes the machine to discharge the cobs fast or slow. This machine is capable of shelling 300 bushels of ears per hour.
F.N. Smith, New York, 1844
