UNKNOWN. Fowler's New Subsoil Draining Plough,1850. Creator: Unknown.

UNKNOWN. Fowler's New Subsoil Draining Plough, 1850. 'An experimental trial of Fowler's Patent Draining Plough and Machinery took place...in a field at the back of Mr. John Smith's iron foundry, at Uxbridge [now part of west London], where considerable improvements have been effected, under the immediate direction of the inventor. The trial..was attended by a large and most respectable body of agriculturists..who watched the operations of the machine with great interest, and were unanimously of opinion, that, when the result of a few more experiments had enabled the inventor to apportion the strength of the various parts to the relative strain, it would become one of the most practically useful and economical apparatus for draining purposes that has hitherto been introduced to the notice of the agricultural community'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
