When Robert McCormick, the father of Cyrus, drew his crude reaper out to a field of wheat in the early harvest of 1831, to make a trial of the invention on which he had spent fifteen years, Cyrus, you may be sure, was more than an onlooker. He had doubtless had a considerable [149] part in the making of this machine.
This device was forgotten in the Dark Ages, during which period reapers reverted to using scythes and sickles to gather crops. Thomas Dobbs (actor) of Birmingham invents a reaping machine in 1814, which consists of a circular saw or sickle, the grain is drawn or fed up to the saw by means of a pair of rollers.Patrick Bell of Scotland created a reaper that used a revolving reel, cutting knife and canvas conveyor in 1828.ven though McCormick is credited as the inventor of the mechanical reaper, he based his work on that of many others, including Roman, Scottish and American men, more than two decades of work by his father, and the aid of Jo Anderson, a slave held by his family.
