Invented the reaping machine which was a direct
precursor of the modern combine harvester. Born in Auchterhouse, near
Dundee, he studied divinity at St Andrews University. Although designed
in 1827, it was not until 1843 when Bell was ordained as minister at
Carmyllie (near Arbroath), that the machine was brought into general
use, following years of testing.
