The undersigned respectfully informs the
public iha, he is duly authorised 10 sell the
Right of the Johnson Re-acling Water wheel,
TO the counties of Monroe and Pike patented
the 22d day of June, A. D. 1910.
The Johnson re-ac,ing wheel is the best now
in use to propel saw mill; it excels any other
wheel in the United States under a low water
head; under head from S to feet is sufi-
cient 10 Gu, from to 5000 feet in twelve hours
of inch or any other boards with ease. The
wheels require, under 7 foot head, lac inches
of water and SO in proportion 10 any other head
Under foot head, the Saw will make from
900 TO $50 strokes per minute. The advan-
tage which those wheels have over any other
wheels is, that it requires but four posts 10 make
the foom or bulk head; the wheels are hung on
the crank shaft. Two wheels are what is re-
quired for Saw mill, and Tire posts planked IN
side the same as pen stock. have built one
of those mills This season, on the Roaring
Brook, in Luzerne county, for Mr.. S. p. Tenn
pfin, under abou, a z foot head, which will cut
from to 1000 in twelve hours Of inch boards;
therefore, can recommend them as the best
wheels now in operation. There are several
more mills in that part, all under low heads,
which answers the same purpose as that of MIR.
Tempfins. For further information, please call
on the subscriber.
