"Vintage Machinery" entry for Buffalo Pitts Co.
Description:
Claim:

The nature of my invention relates to the manner of connecting the draft chains or ropes of a horse power gearing with each other so that each horse or team may be compelled by the action of the other pulling horses to bear its due proportion of the draft, by which means the motion of the machine is not changed by the quick or slow motion of some of the horses. Where the horse power is arranged with four levers, the application of the contrivance is comparatively easy, but where five levers are used as is often the case, it becomes more difficult to use an equalizing arrangement, without making the machine too complicated.
