I've seen pictures but have never been able to figure out what the slat 
moldboards were for. Any ideas?

Someone out there asked about the types of plows.
I just found my grandfather's book on- The Operation, Care and Repair of 
Farm Machinery-
thirteenth edition- published by John Deere=
there is no date of printing, but much of the equipment is horse drawn, the 
tractors shown as John Deere's are "the General Purpose Tractor"
to handle a 
four-horse load, and a
"Standard type" to handle a two-horse load (looks like an LA).
This book lists 6 plow styles: Prairie breaker, Stubble bottom, General 
purpose bottom, Slat moldboard bottom, Black-land bottom, & deep tillage 
bottom.
