Need an implement picture

Anybody have access to a picture of an implement from the late thirtires or nineteen forties of a basin lister? My grandmother referred to the operation as damming. Gramps did it different times of the year so don't know if this was a corn cultivation method, summer fallow tillage or fall tillage.
Mostly looking for a picture more so than the reason. I'm guessing it looks like a chisel plow with some sort of paddle wheels that drag along and trip periodically.
 
Have you checked google images? There's a ......not very good........picture of one and a good picture of a field that's been prepared by one..........
 
Thanks, Yes I looked and saw the one your refering to. It wouldn't let me copy and paste nor email. Not very good at this computer stuff I guess.
 
Thanks, I'll save that website and do some looking later. The one shown looks nothing like the remnants of Gramps machine but I guess there would be many versions by many manufacturers. Gramps machine looks more like a chisel plow with all the paddles and moving parts missing. I can't recall if it has any shovels on the shanks or not. It's under 4 feet of snow in a tree grove at the moment so I'll have to be patient to get a closer look.
 
Is this It ?

Mccormick Deering made a basin lister. It autmatically forms a dam every few feet as it crosses the field... no pic though

(gives me another avenue to search for a crosscheck machine - made lines and piles of soil 36 inches apart leaving the field to look like a checkerboard. Tobacco was planted on the humps, with room between the plants for the horse to pull the cultivator)
