- Oliver Plow, 1870-1929 - "Chilled" cast iron was the latest thing in plows in the 1870s, a process perfected by James A. Oliver, of South Bend, Indiana. The chilling process involved cooling the cast iron with water, hardening the metal. It polished like steel, allowing it to pull through the soil easily. A copy of this plow is used at Greenfield Village's Firestone Farm.
