PRIEST.IIIN'S PE rRoLE um ENGINE

For some time past Messrs. Priestman Brothers'
of tiaid, have been endeavouring to overcome th,
difficulties which have hitherto stood in the way
using the ordinaiy petroleum of commerce as
motive power of eneines. In this they have n )
fully succeeded, as vras demonstrated by a petroleu
engine which we recently inspec ed at their Land.,
offices, 733, Q igen Victeri t Street. In this ety,r, •
the oil is plAce . in a closed tank in,ide the founds ion
of the engine, and air is pump. d in'o this t i
until a pressure of about WI). to the square inch
obtained. The oil is !hen mixed with air until
is forurd into vapour, aft-r which it pcs,•es int !

The spark is o3tailvd tiom a small primary bane...)
capable of doiug 30 hours' work without attentiou.
and which can be renewed at a very small cost. In
starting the engine he vapoiizer is heated for a
few minutes, after which the necessary heat is
ob ained from tne exhaust producut of combusti,m
while on their way to the chimney. The cylinder
is wa-er jacketed, the water being kept in eircul
by asm .1. pump. After it has once been started,
rue vngitie works antoma jenny. prep rin its own
sour..:e of power, heating its cha go, cooling it,
cylinder, and supplying its own spark for ig ition.
The great point here is that only ordinary petroleum
is us_el, which, moreover, is entirely consumed,
leaving 30 residue whatever, the combustionibeinA
complete. 'I he cost of working this engine, oldie-I
the oil at.the present price, is stated to be a l tie
more than a halfpenny per horse per hour. The
engine is simple in constrdction, and is welt adapted
for use where steam is inadmissible and ceztt
not obtainable. It has been thoroughly tried and
proved in practical work before being brought out.
