Hay tedders, the machines that fling cut grass into the air so it dries evenly before raking, are the focus here, and this set of eight numbered illustrations walks through their design one drawing at a time. Tedding was a labor-heavy step in haymaking for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and mechanical tedders eventually spared farmers hours of hand forking under the sun. Because each plate is numbered, the series works almost like an assembly guide, showing the rotating tines, frame, and drive parts that made these implements effective. Look closely at the numbering and the level of detail, which reflect how manufacturers used printed catalogs to explain new equipment to buyers.
