| Description: |  | Abstract:
My improved machine in the form in which it is herein presented is contrived to operate upon one row of corn at a time, and consists, generally, of a main body or receptacle, A, for the severed ears, having attached to it at one side a longitudinal guide-piece, B,which passes outside of the row of corn to be operated upon and is rigidly connected with the main body.
Claim:
In a corn-harvester, the combination, with the machine-frame, of a longitudinal guide, a series of transversely-located independently movable cutters arranged with their cutting edges parallel with and opposed to thesaid guide, and a series of springs applied to hold the said cutters at the backward limit of their movement. |  |
