Inventing the Chaser Bin?

Whilst doing my research on Harry Bourchier for part 2 of the podcast we titled The Harry Bourchier Files, I wrote down this: "If you are an innovator or an early adopter of things, you are not going to get most things right, it could be that you get most things wrong but find some nuggets of gold in the small percentage of things you got right. These people see getting things wrong as progress". You see, Harry was a leader, a thinker, an innovator, an initiator, almost to the point where he was an inventor. What comes with that is sometimes you are going to get things wrong, and if you are in a situation like Harry's, you are going to have plenty of people watching. But for people like Harry, getting things wrong is progress because if you are not trying things, then you are not getting anywhere. But if you are churning through the ideas, then you will come across those gold nugget game changers from time to time. One of those could have been the invention of the Chaser Bin. This is what I wrote in my notes for the podcast: "It says in the book, and this might have been about the early 1960's when Harry bought a bulk Trailer from Bollwell and Johns Engineering in Horsham. He modified it so it could run beside the Header so the Grain could be Augers into the Trailer whilst the Header was still going. It was then augered into the Truck. Could this have been the first-ever edition of the Chaser Bin?" Reply to [email protected] or 0427 011 900
