    Notes:

    (Medical):The following description of threshing is from A.G. Street's 'Farmer's Glory': 'It was hard work. There was a balanced team of men to run the outfit. Two men pitched the sheaves onto the top of the thresher, where one man cut the strings and another fed the grain steadily and smoothly into the machine. Two men made the straw rick, one took off the chaff, and one the grain, whilst Tom the driver was in charge of the machinery. Any one slackening speed could slow up the whole business. No extra money was paid to the regular farming men for threshing, but beer was allowed on threshing days, one quart per man.' The arrival of Burrell's stationary engine and the threshing machine in the mid-19th century had put paid to winter threshing with flails in a barn. The machine could complete 8 men's work for 6 months in 10 days, and was the cause of much grumbling about unemployment when it first appeared on the market.
