A reaper is a farm implement that reaps (cuts and often also gathers) crops at harvest when they are ripe. Usually the crop involved is a cereal grass, especially wheat. The first documented reaping machines were Gallic reapers that were used in Roman times in what would become modern-day France.
At the front of the cart, a comb was attached, above which was a paddle drum that rotated due to the movement of the harvester's wheels. The gap between the teeth of the comb was adjusted to the size of the stalks. The harvester was operated by one person. Similar to the Gallic reaper, the comb engaged the stalks at the level of the inflorescences.
