The Bauroth gas and gasoline engines, ranging from two to thirty horsepower and made in three types—portable, semi-portable and stationary—are claimed by their makers to be the peer of any internal combustion power producers now on the market, and the superior of most. The engines are made by Bauroth Brothers, of Springfield, Ohio. The firm was established in 1873, and in the years that have elapsed since that time it has perfected its engines until today they are simple and strong, durable and efficient, and economical.
In every respect the construction is the best possible. The bed is strong and well braced, and the bearings, of ample proportions, are lined with genuine Babbitt metal. The cylinder is built of close-grained iron, with ample water space, and the jacket is open at both ends, to facilitate cleaning. The crank-shaft is large enough to be strong for the work required, and is without a weld. The connecting-rod is of the marine type, forged from a solid steel bar, and is fitted with phospor-bronze boxes, both ends having adjustment for wear. The piston is of the trunk type, and is calculated to give efficient service at all times. The governor controls the number of explosions in exact proportion to the amount of power required, and can be adjusted to a different speed while the engine is in motion. The exhaust is held open when power is not required, and the engine is relieved of useless compression and friction. The igniter is of the hammer-blow type and always ignites. In all other respects the Bauroth engines are efficient and the kind of engine which the farmer, who seeks a general-purpose power producer, is looking for.
The Bauroth portable engines are built from two to fifteen horsepower. They are shipped ready to run, mounted on an all-steel truck of channel-iron construction, and are fitted with any one of three ignition systems desired. These engines have been giving satisfaction for many years, and each year sees some improvement in their design or construction. The semi-portable is made along the same lines as the portable, except that it is mounted on skids and may be used" as a portable engine when loaded on a wagon.
The Bauroth Brothers have a first-class agency proposition, and have been convinced by years of dealing in satisfaction-giving engines that they have a trade-winner and trade-holder in their brand of engines They welcome all inquiries, which will be given prompt attention. |
