Notes (points of interest etc.)	Described as an old colonist of SA He was awarded a silver medal at the 1880 Royal Adelaide Show for the “greatest labour saving machine offered to farmers”.  The winnowing machine was tested on grain from the Prospect wheat fields. Two sons worked in the blacksmith section where an eight-foot, horizontal leather bellows blew coke to a white heat on the forge so that the smiths could fashion iron parts on the anvil. The machines were finished with paint made on the spot from white lead, umber, and other raw pigments with which linseed oil was mixed by an attachment to the drilling machine - one of the old type with a big horizontal flywheel spinning above the workman's head. Even when an old man, George thought little of pushing a barrow with lime and bricks from Prospect to Hackney to repair his houses.'
