WATER WHEEL.

HNHE U 3 CIR b Err would ,n,oa..
RI u TO the public, that his IMPROVED RI,
ING WATER WHEELS and their ApPIND.ct,
: ale not only brought to high state ofperleci,o,
but are fast Superseding every other Wheel ne-
III nse, except the gravitation wheels under bl
heads.) "s'
The improvements have been patented Gon
time to Tune, and l am warranted in SAVING H..
they now combine and possess more adyan,,ns'
than any other wheel that can be produced
There are at present near 400 in good oner,,,..
for Saw Mills, besides great number for o,h.
purposes and the demand for Wheels and com
Petent Miwrights, to change old mills and bp5
new ones, IS constantly increasing.
The Wheels, Shaft and Crank are made If 90,
IRON, but cast wheels or heads may be put on III,
Flutter Wheel shaft under heads over S fl. Tbe.s
wheels are not DISTRACTED by back water or l,bI.
to freeze up as other wheels. They are put luo
the Wheel Case, which is part of my Impro,s.
ment, and placed in the stream so as to rece,ya
nearly the whole fall operative head. The ,on
OF the wheels are placed directly under the space
| occupied by the futter wheel The bulk head q,
ioreDay extends down the stream about #. arlhe,
than the fiutter wheel, that the wheel case contain
ing the wheels may stand under the Penstock or
| foom, in the water.
They have lever purchase from the centre n
the shaft to every discharging point on the perpbo
ny OF the wheel. AS to cheapness, durabbv.
power and motion, (without gearing, for use pouci
am ready to prove by actual demonstration, 4
called upon, that they cannot be surpassed by an,
oiher wheel now known, with little water, (eI.
cept the gravitation wheeI.)
For IL f. head use wheels on horizon.
"a. smart Tor saw mills without gearing from |.
2 to D #. wheels from to 8 #. head 4 whcel..
from to Is f. 2 wheels above that I wheel and
a dumb wheel to serve as counter balance or end
pressure. Under fl. head | nse 4SO in. watr,,
tor 3 or it. 275 in; for 10 or ~ #. head Ial
inches water; for 20 #. 36 in. or less. generally
90 about ono third more business than the Guur,
wheei with about two-thirds the water. 9he mo-
ton OF my saw is from 100 to 200 strokes ne,
minnie, in good sized log--the same under tse
head as under Is or 20 feet, &c.
For description Of my improved Horizoo,,
Cast Wheel, with arms, reference must be had 10
my specification. This Wheel is designed Tor Cir
Wheels, Grist Mills, Factories, &c. 1t weighs
from to 3 cwt. and the whole weight of the water
rests on water Table below, passing between tho
arms, instead OF resting on the stepping; ora
wood bottom may be used by filling up with plank
between the arms. This wheel operates well IN.
der Is in. head.
:, ihese Wheels are cast, and may be had at tho
oundrles of Carbondale and South Eastop, Pa,
A. Kingston, Troy, Rome, Binghamptou, and +
: ainted Post, N. Y. at Detroit, Michigan at 81.
