Engineer builds model of thresher in Coffeyville garage
Kenneth Burghart, an engineer for Funk Manufacturing Co., is building a detailed scale model of an early steam threshing machine inside his Coffeyville garage. The project, begun years ago, reproduces a threshing outfit Burghart worked with as a boy, using machined sheet metal parts and a small steam system. He recalls threshing rings where workers earned pay by the bushel, and water boys helped with the heavy labor.
