An old engraving of a vertical grain drier (dryer) of the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s.

Grain drying is process of drying grain to prevent spoilage during storage. Hundreds of millions of tonnes of wheat, corn, soybean, rice and other grains are dried in grain driers to reduce its moisture content for storage. Today electric or fuel generated driers are used.

An old engraving of an English hay tedder. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. A tedder (hay tedder) is a machine used in haymaking. It is used after cutting and before collecting, using moving forks to aerate or ‘wuffle’ the hay and speed up the drying process. This tedder was pulled by a horse, with the rotation of the axle driving a gear which operated a number of arms with wire fingers (tines) at the ends. These picked up the hay and disperse it.

RM2E3H31N–An old engraving of an English hay tedder. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. A tedder (hay tedder) is a machine used in haymaking. It is used after cutting and before collecting, using moving forks to aerate or ‘wuffle’ the hay and speed up the drying process. This tedder was pulled by a horse, with the rotation of the axle driving a gear which operated a number of arms with wire fingers (tines) at the ends. These picked up the hay and disperse it.
