EIGHT FIRES AT NORWICH
Have recently been extinguished by
SRALDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE-
ENGINE.
(THE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR).
These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately
‘Nbere they can assail the main source of the fire at close
quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their
%hale uniform streams of water directly into the flames with
tirunerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the
tires are banged out before the common engines can be brought
o action.
If the engine lever bo worked briskly with one hand, and
delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with
ti.e other hand, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre-
siqibly. the little fire destructor combats and conquers the
terrific foe.
Path Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s.

pN.I, There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine
'ora a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent
a
.sh Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli-
-23. ring at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per
„"ttr• But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of
cl 5 oe best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not
barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the
names would have gained the ascendancy. London is a century
'eltiod Norwich in Hydraulic Machines.

REMARKS BY EMINENT MEN UPON THE IN-
VENTION—SEPARATELY AND JOINTLY.
SEpAnaTrty.—" The Fountain Pump is free from the de-
fects and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a
perfect hydraulic machine."—Dr. Birkbeck.--" Shalders
has copied Nature, and arrived at rerfection."—Ebednur.—
`‘ This pump is free from friction and leakage, and is not liable
to ehoke."—Hay, Civil Engineer.---" This is THE Pump."
---Partington.
JOINTLY.._,, The Fountain Pump is the most important
htiproveraent in the art of raising water, that has appeared
within the last 2,000 years. It is the greatest advancement in
the useful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the
Preservation of life and property from fire and water to an ex-
tent beyond calculation.

SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP.
.At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor-
April 28th, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con-
kratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May,
fitted the
luril/4h up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in-
!ariable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked,
Irnhat although the water delivered by the former Pump was com.
for°lllY cloudy, that delivered by the present one has been uni-
zzdy clear, and raised with half the labour.
