Hand shears needed to be very sharp and often had a leather strap or ‘driver’ which passed over the hand. ...Hand shears needed to be very sharp and often had a leather strap or ‘driver’ which passed over the hand. ...Hand shears needed to be very sharp and often had a leather strap or ‘driver’ which passed over the hand. Others had sheepskin bound around the grip. Blades had to be regularly sharpened on a grinding stone. Most hand shears were made in Sheffield, England, with various models produced offering wide or narrow blades, sharp or rounded points, and various grips and bows. The technique of Australian hand shearing gradually developed from the 1830s using the old English method of cutting the flank with hand shears in a series of circular cuts from the sheep’s neck to the tail. In the early 1930s the Ballarat School of Mines introduced a wide-ranging Wool Classing Course as jobs were in extremely short supply during the Great Depression.

One young man is kneeling on top of a wool bale. ...In July 1840, Glenfine, consisting of 31,440 acres, was acquired by Thomas Downie. In March 1842 the 'Right of Run' was taken up by Thomas Chirnside who with an imported stallion 'Delapre' ran a horse stud. He apparently lived here for ten years and employed a gardener with a wife and five children from Hobart, Tasmania. Only some blocks of stone and a few trees remain of their homestead. In 1853 the property was transferred to Dr. John Chirnside, an elder brother of Thomas Chirnside. In 1857, William Rowe of Naringal purchased Glenfiine where he and his family lived until 1904 when it was bought by Richard Howell's estate. It was then 39,000 acres. The present house was built by the Rowes in 1872 of bluestone quarried on the property with a cement render overall. The architect was H.R. Casselli. Gold was found on the property and by 1898 the township of Hollybush was first reported, situated at either side of the front entrance, on the Cressy Road. The land for the township was given by William Rowe. In 1911 R.C. Howell, son of Richard Howell, became the owner, followed by his son in 1960. By 1990 Hollybush had a population of 426 persons. All of the early history of Glenfine, documents etc., were destroyed when Naringal homestead was burnt down in 1944. Glenfine was classified by the National Trust in 1974 and is on the Heritage Commission Register.

... The great increase in wool production in the mid to late 19th century in Australia led to the need to replace the hand shears with some mechanized form of shearing. ...The great increase in wool production in the mid to late 19th century in Australia led to the need to replace the hand shears with some mechanized form of shearing. ...The woollen industry has always been of the utmost importance in Australia. Although exports have declined over the past decades the production of fine wool still remains important in our economy. The great increase in wool production in the mid to late 19th century in Australia led to the need to replace the hand shears with some mechanized form of shearing. The first sheep shearing machine in Australia was patented in 1867 and improvements to this early model were made over the ensuing years. The early 1890s saw the introduction of flexible drive shafts. The two items here described show this innovation. These two items are of interest as examples of handpieces used early in the 20th century in the mechanized shearing of sheep. They would be typical of the pieces used in the wool industry in the early 20th century in Western Victoria. There are today many local shearers living in Warrnambool and nearby towns and working in the district. .1 This is a metal handpiece for a sheep shearing mechanism. It has a toothed blade attached with metal screws at one end and a jointed metal pipe at the other end for attachment to the shearing machine. The middle section has been covered with black leather for easier gripping. .2 This is a metal handpiece for a sheep shearing mechanism. It has a toothed blade at one end and a flexible metal attachment at the other end to connect it to the shearing machine.

Many of the early settlers to North East Victoria droved sheep overland from both Sydney and South Australia and established large pastoral runs in the district. Wodonga became a major service centre for the industry and established major saleyards for the pastoral and cattle industries. The handset has the company name "Heiniger" on the side.

Equipment - Horse coat Trimmer, Chicago Flexible Shaft Company, 1900s
... Horses were integral to both the agricultural and transport sectors at the time so hand-cranked clippers that reduced the time to remove the excess winter coat of working horses and other large animals (including sheep) that previously needed to be trimmed with hand shears to a job that could be completed in less than twenty minutes was a considerable advancement. ...Horses were integral to both the agricultural and transport sectors at the time so hand-cranked clippers that reduced the time to remove the excess winter coat of working horses and other large animals (including sheep) that previously needed to be trimmed with hand shears to a job that could be completed in less than twenty minutes was a considerable advancement. ...The Chicago Flexible Shaft Company was established in Chicago, Illinois, in 1893. Horses were integral to both the agricultural and transport sectors at the time so hand-cranked clippers that reduced the time to remove the excess winter coat of working horses and other large animals (including sheep) that previously needed to be trimmed with hand shears to a job that could be completed in less than twenty minutes was a considerable advancement. This model, the Number 1, was actually the second iteration of the company's hand-cranked devices; it was smaller and lighter to transport and cheaper for farmers to purchase and therefore had a bigger impact on overall agricultural practices than the company's first, pioneering, 'Chicago Clipper'. This item is the stand and power-generation unit of the machine. An attachment on the left-hand side of the item shows where a long, flexible 'shaft' ending in sharp clippers could be attached to the crank unit and powered by manually turning the crank handle. The clippers could then be used to easily remove long hair from animals such as horses, whose winter coats could interfere with their ability to wear a harness or hold sweat which would be uncomfortable for the horse when it dried. The inventors who founded the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company, John K. Stewart (born Terrence O'Brien Junior) and Thomas J. Clark (born Thomas Conlon), went on to design the speedometer used in the Ford Model T car. After Stewart sold his shares in the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company to focus on developing the speedometer concept, the company changed direction to focus on domestic appliances - including clippers for human hair - and rebranded as Sunbeam, a brand still in use today.This item is significant as an example of agricultural technology in use in the Emerald area in the early Twentieth Century. The particular make and model of clipper represented a considerable technological advance as it was significantly smaller in size and easier to operate than previous models from the same company. This smaller size meant it had a much bigger impact on farming processes internationally as it was easier to transport and more affordable for farmers to purchase. It is not known which farm in the Emerald area purchased and used the machine.The item consists of a small metal case, which may house a ball bearing mechanism, powered by a wooden handled metal crank to the right side of the case. A metal handle is provided at the rear. An outlet for a cord is present on the left hand side of the unit. The unit stands on an attached tripod to raise it to working height. The item is the brown of rusted metal all over, though it can be seen that the rear handle was originally red and the wooden handle black, in distinction to the possible original chrome colour of the unit overall.Top: THE / STEWART / CHICAGO / BALL BEARING / No. 1 / CLIPPER / MADE BY / CHICAGO / FLEXIBLE / SHAFT CO / CHICAGO USA / PATENTED BY / U.S.A., ENGLAND / AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND / CANADA / CUBA / ETC Right side: STEWART / CLIPPER / MADE / BY / CHICAGO FLEXIBLE SHAFT CO /1890s, 1900s, 1910s, chicago flexible shaft co, chicago flexible shaft company, agricultural equipment, farm and equipment, farm tools, horses, john k stewart, terrence o'brien junior, thomas j clark, thomas conlon, ford motor company, ford model t, speedometer, sunbeam
