Description
Photograph of a combine steam harvester and its crew in the fields, Los Angeles, ca.1900. The combine is comprised of many moving parts -- particularly large wheels, chains and sprockets. In the center of the vehicle is the driver's seat. In the rear is a platform where several men sit or stand and help operate the vehicle. Several men stand near the large wheels (at right).; "A combine: a complex farm machine that both cuts and threshes grain. An early primitive combine was a horse-drawn "combination harvester-thresher" introduced in Michigan in 1836 and later used in California. Combines were not generally adopted until the 1930s, when tractor-drawn models became available. Self-propelled machines, capable of cutting swaths 8 to 18 feet (2.5 to 5.5 m) wide, appeared a decade later. Originally designed to harvest wheat, they came to be used to harvest many other crops." -- Encyclopedia Britannica.
