Several makes of engines Lave been designed for small power and small expense for fuel, but it remained for The Shipman Engine Manufacturing Company to produce their kerosene-burning engine and adequately and thoroughly fill all the needed requirements. Within two years the company has built 1,200 of the Rochester model Shipman patent oil engine, and these have given perfect and invariable satisfaction to the parties to whom they have been sold. Their being made in power of from one to four horse, they can be used to run the smallest machine where power is required, or to furnish momentum to dynamos, exhaust-fans or blowing engines, etc. In addition to the numerous uses to which this engine can be put on land, the company also makes an engine specially for use on pleasure yachts, launches, etc., that is very economical and very easy of control and adjustment.
These engines are perfectly safe in both their stationary and marine forms, and their use is permitted by the board of underwriters without the payment of an additional rate of premium, thus testifying in the most decided manner to the safety of these engines. The Demas scroll saw, an ingenious cylinder pump and a line of blacksmith's drills are also among their specialties. |
