Back in June I made a pilgrimage I hadn't made for a little while and as always the Banbury run didn't disappoint. Whilst looking around there were many machines I had seen before including the 1901 Slinger featured here. When selecting which machines to capture in the sketchbook I didn't have a theme running through my head but it turns out that there is a common thread running through both machines and that is one of very inventive machines that didn't quite break through commercially...
1901 Slinger
I have seen this amazing invention at previous Banbury runs a few times but have never sketched it. Using the word ‘invention’ is very appropriate for this
