The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breech of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Itamoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a squaro head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rode attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle,
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Goveedrnbm3 a Government and
and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestow

tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
