- Sperry Rand Corporation - Sperry New Holland Division Catalog, "TR70 Twin Rotor Combine," 1977 - Engineers designed the TR70 as a compact machine suitable for hilly terrain. The twin rotors (TR) shelled corn or threshed grain and moved it through the combine's body. Setting the rotors at an angle (axial) shortened the machine. Farmers changed the front-end attachment to harvest corn, beans, or wheat. Photographs and diagrams in this catalog helped explain additional features.

- Automatic Pick-Up Baler, circa 1943 - This tractor-drawn baler changed the way farmers made hay. Before pick-up balers, farmers hauled hay to the stationary baler. This baler went to the hayfield where it picked up cured grass, pressed it into rectangular bales, and automatically tied the compressed grasses into a hay bale. Farmers could pick up and move these bales, and they had a higher market value as fresh hay.
