Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the claims for priority of invention of reaping machines. The author's goal is to determine to whom credit is due for the development of this transformative agricultural implement. The book begins by considering early attempts at creating a functional reaping machine in Great Britain and the United States. It then delves into the pivotal contributions of Obed Hussey and C.H. McCormick, who each claimed to have invented the first successful reaper. Through a comprehensive examination of evidence, including letters, patents, and trial accounts, the book meticulously assesses the validity of each claim. This analysis provides valuable insights into the history of agricultural technology and the nature of invention itself, demonstrating that the most significant innovations often result from a combination of ideas and incremental improvements.
