CHATTERTON'S PATENT STEAM-BOAT
PADDLE-W HEEL.
WE have been favoured by a correspondent with the
sight of a model of the above wheel, and from its sim-
plicity and at once apparent superiority over the old one, we
are somewhat surprised that any practical mechanic should
for one moment have hesitated to give it a trial. This
was reserved for our enterprising townsman, Mr. Robert
Napier, who at once agreed to try it on the " Superb," to
which vessel it has just been fitted by that gentleman ;
and we have much pleasure in adding to this a Compara-
tive statement between the performance of the old and
new wheels, on her trip to Greenock—a distance of 22
miles :

The engine making 28 revolutions with the old wheel,
and 25i with the new.
Here we have a saving of 16 minutes in favour of the
new wheel, in two hours, notwithstanding the boat made
two more stoppages, one of which was at Port-Glasgow,
by which at least 5 minutes must have been lost.
We may mention that that unpleasant vibration caused
by the powerful stroke of the old flat paddle on the water,
is by the new wheel totally obviated—the paddles enter
the water with a gentle inclination, and instead of run-
ning fully across the wheel, only half-way, the other half
throwing the water from the boat, the other to the boat,
and so repeated,—keeping up between the opening of the
paddles a body of water on which the wheels play, and by
which we account for the great increase of speed.
Parties desirous of adopting the Paddle Floats named in
the above extract from the Scottish Reformer's Gazette of
the 14th of October last, may inspect a model exhibiting
the principle, and learn all other particulars, on applica-
tion to Mr. J. C. SnAw, City of Dublin Company's
works, Clarence Dock, Liverpool.
