Ploughing by Steam - Trial at Grimsthorpe, by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Ploughing by Steam - Trial at Grimsthorpe, by Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, 1850. Various interesting experiments have been made from time to time, with the object of adapting steam-power to the working of the plough. The scene...represents a trial recently made in this way, at Grimsthorpe, in Lincolnshire, by Lord Willoughby D'Eresby. The machinery employed consisted of a small locomotive engine, with a capstan attached, moving on a portable railway. An ordinary plough, followed closely by a subsoil plough, was drawn by a chain from the capstan, working with perfect precision, and at a greater depth and speed than usual. Several gentlemen and farmers, who were present, expressed a favourable opinion of the experiment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
