These engines are very compact and complete, having a feed-water heater, force pump, regulator, belt pulley, turned on the face, steam gauge; in short, everything necessary to set them in operation, on the introduction of water and fuel (either wood or coal) to the boiler, and applying a belt. No smoke-pipe is furnished with them, as it is bulky, liable to injury if sent unboxed, and expensive to box up. Eight, ten, or twelve-inch stove-pipe, of heavy English sheet iron, is all that is required, and that is to be had anywhere, in any length the location demands.
The boilers are of best American iron, strong, well made, and supplied with fusible safety-plug, and warranted to bear a cold-water test pressure of 200 lbs. per square inch, and a constant working pressure of 120 lbs. They embrace the principles of the best modern locomotives, are well made, without finish for show, and are capable of working much above the power inserted in table.
A good strong running gear, arranged so as to be easily attached and detached at pleasure, will be supplied at from $125 to $225 extra, forming a useful wagon when separate. |
