Mike in Ky is correct, Joe in Ne is thinking of the check wire not hill drop. Hill drop could be set foe 2-3 or 4 seeds per hill for 15", 20", 22", 28", 32", 33', or larger spacings. That putting the seeds in hills was like taking the hoe out and planting the corn by hand before the corn jobbers before the planters and the first planters were hand operated to drop the seeds in hills as it was too much work to open and close the seed mechinasim for a seed at each place when it took 2 people to operate a 2 row planter, one to drive the team and the other to do the planting moving a lever side to side and back for each hill of corn.
