Water Wheel,


For Factories Sa,c and Grist Mills, Cotton
Gins, and ercry other purpose to ,ohich {
water wheel can be applied.
One OF THE GREATEST INVENTIONS OF THr
AGE!
|"HIS Wheel combines every quality
Il that is desired in a Water Wheel. ]
is adapted to every head and fall, from two
feet to any heights equal. IN economy o.
water, TO any Breast or Over shot Wheel
undera high head Of water. and superio,
under low or medium head-is more du.
rabe-less likely 10 get out Of ordpr-and
is infinitely cheaper. II is also incOmpari.
Lly more steady IN its n,otion- sufficiently
So indeed, as 10 require no Governor. even
with Cotton Factories making the fines|
fabrics
| II has many other advantages over the
Breast and Over-shot Wheel. The first is
in being so compact that ii can be applied
where there is not room for these Wheels,
the largest size being bu, 5 leel in diane
ter. The second is. that being much quick
er in its motion, the Intermediate gearing
required in the Over-shot to get up speed,
is with this Wheel wholly dispensed with.
Third, that the higher the head, the small
er the Wheel. Under head Of 50 feet a
Wheel lG inches in diameter, venting IS
inches water, is equal to power of Is
Horses.
II is superior 10 the Tub or FIutter Wheel
Tor it does not require more than one third
10 one half the water, and is more durable,
and rot much il any more expensive.
II is likewise superior to any OF the re-
action Wheels now in use in the South, for
1t keeps in order much greater length
time, and uses r. OF more than about one hal
the ,raier.
1t IS superior to Wooden Wheels OF all
kinds; runs under hack water, and secures
the entire head and fail.
For Cotton GINS /, is the only Wheel;
with a small quantity Of water. and under
any head. the Gin can he driven. Gu IL
well known that Wafer Gin will turn out
better Cotton and more Of it in a dav.)
On tide water, these Wheels can be run
IL TO Is hours out OF "a, and cost but little,
with any other
In level countries they can be used where
there is a good supply of water, and a head
of only or feel; superseding the use of
steam. on account of their cheapness.
The price of this Wheel. with right of
use included foY Saw and Crust Mills. va
ries from 1926 TO $3.50 according TO height
of head and work required TO be performed
bv them: the lowest head requiring the
priced Wheel, and the hlghes, head
the least price.
For Cotton Gins, and other light ma.
chnerv, the price varies from S75 to 8 l25.
For Cotton Factories, Sc, no special
data as TO price can be given, until furnish
ed with particulars as to head, and power
in each instance required.

Seq for operating same!

ings, the Wheel fitted and keyed on same,

true and secure in its revolutions, and in
every particular highly and completely
finished Wheel; and from its simplicity,
durability, and finish, (NS-together nth
rhat is furnished IN connection With The

parison, uader any named forfeiture. with
