The Earle family : Ralph Earle and his descendants

336 THE EARLE FAMILY [Eighth
His success in the management of machine business, which is done
entirely upon a credit basis, is largely due to the fact of his having
employed most of his spare moments, since starting for himself, in
reading law.
In the course of the past year, 1886-87, he has invented, and
secured letters patent therefor from the United States, an automatic
grain weigher and self-register, and an automatic band-cutter and
self-feeder for threshing machines. These two devices make a saving
of the labor of from four to six men, in operating each machine to
which they are attached.
