Image Description:
The exhibit of the Bass Foundry and Machine ‘Works, of Fort Wayne, Ind., consists of one of their regular cross-compound Corliss condensing engines, rated at 300 horse- power. The engine, which is driving dynamos for incandescent lighting, is worked in connection with a Wheeler surface condenser, and has sixteen and thirty inch cylinders, with a stroke of forty-two inches. The driving pulley is sixteen feet in diameter and has a forty-two inch face. The cut-off in both the high and the low-pressure cylinder is under the control of the governor. The engraving, which is given of the engine shows all its principal features quite clearly, and makes a more detailed description unnecessary.
