Description

Shearing equipment, mechanical. This is the first, single electric shearing plant that was produced by Fred Wolseley. These were made in a square case. At the time they didn't realize that the air didn't circulate in a square case adequately and they overheated. These were only made for 1 x 12 month period in around about 1907. Because of that, they're very hard to find.
