The Hamilton Gas Engine
The engines of the Advance Manufacturing Company, Hamilton, Ohio, are of the four-cycle compression type, as shown in the two views of the horizontal engine as arranged for gasoline.
A noiseless, smooth, and steady running engine equally adapted for gas, gasoline, natural or producer gas. It is very simple in its working parts and arranged for electric ignition with a governing-device that governs the speed of the engine by variable charges of fuel.
The valves are of the poppet style, the exhaust-valve being opened by a cam on the secondary shaft and lever. The mixture of gas or gasoline and air is drawn through a regulated valve by the suction of the piston, always proportional for the best explosive effect, and governed as to quantity by a throttle directly actuated by the governor.
In the gasoline attachment the pump is driven by a cam on the secondary shaft and draws the gasoline from the tank at a level below the engine, forcing it into a small receiver from which the surplus returns by gravity to the tank; the gasoline being atomized and vaporized by the action of the in-draft of air from the movement of the piston. The sparking-device is operated by a push-bar and eccentric pin at the end of the secondary shaft.
The unshipping of a small lever noticed on the valve gear stops the fuel flow and the engine by closing the inlet throttle valve. |
