Mending the reaper-binder, 1937

In the stubble beside the horses, two men in work clothes bend over a reaper-binder that has stopped; in closer view a man in a hat reaches into the machine's knotting mechanism and untangles the twine among the cut stalks. The reaper-binder, which cut the grain and tied it in sheaves, had spread across German farms since the turn of the century, but its knotter jammed easily.
