[QUOTE="JVM, post: 9223604, member: 154707"] I was a tad disappointed to discover that the TFF Brains Trust was at a loss to answer my question, so I stole some time to ferret through my archives - and came up with the following info (actually, three pieces, the scanned single sheet below, an A5 booklet and the inventor John Monck's address on a sheet of computer paper, written in (presumably) his own hand.[ATTACH=full]1171063[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1171064[/ATTACH]The legend in each picture on page 1 is in reverse type and difficult to read. Top left: "Green crop chopped to 1" for drying". Top right: "Crops are loaded by a wide foreloader fitted with long tines and a push-off" Centre: "Each chamber is loaded through the emptying door with 2-3 fork fulls". Bottom left:" Drying with the electric drive air heater" Bottom right:"The conveyor is positioned along side for emptying". However, the real surprise came when I Googled "J Monck+Hay Flaker", and discovered his obituary.
