WHAT DOES THRESHING MACHINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

threshing machine

Threshing machine

The thrashing machine, or, in modern spelling, threshing machine, was first invented by Scottish mechanical engineer Andrew Meikle for use in agriculture. It was devised for the separation of grain from stalks and husks. For thousands of years, grain was separated by hand with flails, and was very laborious and time consuming, taking about one-quarter of agricultural labor by the 18th century. Mechanization of this process took much of the drudgery out of farm labour.
