The illustration on the following page represents a 100 horsepower Vertical Engine of the New York Safety Steam-Power Co.'s build, said power being developed with 60 pounds initial steam pressure and 100 revolutions per minute, when cutting off at one-half stroke.
Engines of this type are serviceable in all branches of manufacture, especially where economy of floor space is desirable, and this company produces them in great variety of styles, from 2 to 100 horsepower, and the fact that they are represented by more than five thousand engines in satisfactory operation in various parts of the world, may be regarded as proof that the Vertical Engine has advantages which recommend it with great force to many industries, and that the goods of their build are of standard construction and efficiency.
The system of distributing power in factories by means of an independent engine for each department or set of machines, rather than operate all from a central engine, is rapidly gaining in favor, and the vertical engine is well adapted for this service. The Safety Power Co. are placing their engines very extensively to be so used, one prominent iron-works having over forty in daily service. |
