The International Exhibition: Cranston's Wood's grass-mowing machine, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Cranston's Wood's grass-mowing machine, 1862. It will be observed that the machine runs on two wheels, which give motion to the knife-bar by means of suitable gearing and a connecting-rod which lies between the frame that stretches to the right of the driver and the crank which projects from beneath the driver's feet in front. A circular is thus changed for a vibratory motion. The knife-bar consists of a series of triangular blades, with points three inches apart; these work through fingers placed at equal distances, which form a support for the grass to be cut and a protection to the cutters. The gearing and cutters are attached to a frame which rests upon the axle of the driving-wheels, and have an action independent of the draught-pole, allowing the cutters to pass over the uneven surface of the ground. The pinions which play in the gearing attached to the spokes are provided with ratchets in their inner side, which allow them to work in unison with or independent of each other...The driver can raise the knife-frame without stopping his horses, and, by a motion of the foot, can so throw the knives out of gear that, by lifting the frame at the same time, the machine becomes as portable as an ordinary cart'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The International Exhibition's featured innovation, Cranston's Wood's grass-mowing machine, created in 1862. The machine, an engineering marvel of its time, is depicted in the image with its driver skillfully guiding the horses that power it. The machine's unique design is evident in its two wheels, which transmit motion to the knife-bar through suitable gearing and a connecting-rod. This transformation of circular motion into a vibratory one allows for efficient grass cutting. The knife-bar, consisting of a series of triangular blades with three-inch apart points, is supported by fingers that protect the cutters and provide a surface for the grass to be cut. The gearing and cutters are attached to a frame that rests upon the axle of the driving-wheels, allowing for an independent action that enables the machine to navigate uneven ground. Notably, the driver has the ability to raise the knife-frame without stopping the horses and can throw the knives out of gear, making the machine portable and as convenient as a cart. The intricate details of the machine's design, such as the ratchets in the pinions that allow them to work in unison or independently, demonstrate the ingenuity and advancement of agricultural technology during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the remarkable progress made in grass-mowing machinery during the 19th century.
