Summary
Details the range of machinery provided by the McKay Massey Harris company during the early war years. Labour saving devices such as 'one man control' where a farmer could operate the tractor whilst sitting positioned on the header are emphasised. The handsomely produced text is rich in technical detail and illustration, with photographs illustrative of typical agricultural practice of the time.
Note: Page 81 shows a photograph of a smartly dressed woman with frilly apron operating a Massey Harris Cream Separator.
