Agricultural Technology

Comments

Glasgow Museums has a collection of six agricultural technology vehicles and 18 vehicle and wheel parts. These items mostly date from the first half of the 20th century. This collection consists of three two-wheeled, horse-drawn vehicles. These include a ‘Jenny Linn’-type farm wagon, which was made around 1930, and a 1930s box cart-type farm wagon. Both of these came from Fullwood Mains Farm in Linwood. The third two-wheeled farm cart is of unknown origin. The other three vehicles are a threshing machine built in Sandbach, Scotland, by E Foden Sons & Co. Ltd (No. 454); a steam traction engine ‘Pride of Endrick’ (No. 113812), which was used in farming and built by Rushton and Hornsby of Lincoln, England, in 1920; and a sour-milk cart used on Cranslagroority Farm on Rothsay, Isle of Bute.
