Image Description:

Figure 6 represents the "Peerless Portable Farm Engine," made by F. F. & A. B. Landis, Lancaster, Pa. This engine is constructed with special care, to make it safe and effective in the hands of inexperienced persons, to take care of itself, in fact, as far as this can be done. The chief feature is the device to maintain cold bearings by means of a stream of water passing continually from and to the tank around the bearings, when the boiler is not needing a supply. The engine is placed on steel springs, and brake for holding back when upon the road, is provided.
