Overview

Very faded black and white photo of a team of four horses and a Nicholson & Morrow stripper harvester with a man at the controls, going through a crop of probably wheat.
The stripper has a chute at the side to which are attached 2 X 4 Bushell wheat bags.

Historical information

The photo is pre 1908 as the 4 Bushell bags were changed then to 3 Bushell bags due to complaints by wharf workers of the weight (approx.100lbs), of the larger bags.
