Potato harvesting machine

A machine designed to harvet potatoes. The horse pulled the machine along which engage years to set the spinner going. The tines of the dinner sent potatoes from the soil into the net that stopped the potatoes flying. They were then picked up, usually by women or children, who put them into sacks for market or the store shed of the farm for saving as seed potatoes. This example was later adapted for use with a tractor. Drawn with a Rotring 0.18 Rapidograph pen.
