title	Mister Hall's Machines
creator	Rankin, Allan
subject	Island Magazine
subject	Prince Edward Island Museum
description	Islanders made more than wooden sailing ships during the last century. On their farms, and in small blacksmith, clothing, carpentry, and machine shops, a broad assortment of articles was manufactured for local use. One important aspect of this secondary industry was the making of farm implements — horse-powered machines that sowed, cut, and gathered grain, threshed and cleaned it. They are mostly derelicts now, shoved aside in barns or left to rot back in the woods. Prior to the advent of the internal combustion engine, however, these lightweight, portable implements were essential tools of agriculture. Thomas Hall, a Wilmot farmer, was exporting threshing machines of his own construction as early as 1859, and by 1890 they had established for him a national reputation.
