This is a nice working display of corn related machinery.
Included were a
hammermill, a small hand corn sheller, several
small hand cranked burr
mills, and a larger burr mill operated by a
3 HP IHC 'M' engine.
Most of this equipment is McCormick Deering.
We enjoyed chatting with
the owner, Earl C. Cox of Rising Sun, MD.
Center - This is a Stickney of about
10 HP (not sure). This is about as
large a one as I have
seen. Right - This display shows several New
Holland engines in their
working clothes. It sure was great seeing so
many of these reasonably
rare engines.

The two gentlemen above
are friends from the stationary engine
list, whom we had not
met before. On the left is Ted Brookover,
and his friend from
Australia, Edd Payne. Ted and Edd's engines
can be seen on Ted's
webpage which can be accessed by going to:
http://www.oldengine.org/members/brookover/. They were just
getting ready to leave
when we caught up with them. I hope the next
visit will be much
longer. On the right, is a view of the Ted and Edd
show leaving their space,
and the look of sadness by the neighbors;-)

This year's show
featured the Rumely tractors, and I had to put
a few shots of this
gathering. It was very impressive.
In closing, the above
picture hopefully conveys the spirit of
this show. The quiet
grace of the steam folks and their machines,
and the feeling of 'family'
which surrounds you at Kinzers. Most
of the people we spoke
to were very friendly and open, much like
we expect to see here 'down
south'. I regret that I couldn't get good
exposures of the rare
engines in the buildings owned by the club.
A whole page could be
put together just on the collection there.
