Where there is much regular barn work, either in threshing, grinding, or food preparing, a small stationary engine will recommend itself, but it is only on large farms that fixed motive power is required for driving machinery.
For this purpose Garratt's Horizontal Fixed Steam engine, with compound cylinders (Fig. 11 ) will be found very suitable. The engine and boiler are combined, and the latter may be either multitubular or Cornish in principle, though the multitubular boiler is recommended where economy of fuel is essential, and also because it requires little or no fixing. |
