The cardboard instructions for it's use were still in tact on ours, but were in a very delicate shape forty years ago and I copied them out while you could still read them, and more recently also found the font that was used, from the remains and what's left of the original instructions, and that is what I have reproduced above.

I used it last when the Countryside Stewardship Schemes came out twelve years ago to sow a wild bird cover on an acre patch in the end of one of my fields against a wood, Good even strides is the key, don't start at a pace ya conna keep up.

Mine ,fathers fiddle he used from 1945
Do you know the setting for sowing grass seed please
