One OF THE GREATEST TNvENrioNs o. THB
Ace!


FTHIS Wheel combines every quality
Il that is desired in Water Wheel. It
IS adapted 10 every head and fall, from two
feet to any heights equal. IN economy OF
water. to any Breast or Over shot Wheel,
under high head Of water, and superior
under low or medium heads more du-
rable-ess likely TO get out of order-and
is infinitely cheaper. II is also incon,parj-
bly, more steady IL its motion sufficiently
so, indeed. as TO require no Governor, even
with Cotton Factories making the finest
iabricsi
II has many other advantages over the
Breast and Oversize Wheel. The first ~
in being 80 compact that 1t can be applied
where there is not room for these Wheels,
! the largest size being but 5 feet in dame
ter. The second is. that being much quick
i er IN its motion, the Intermediate gearing
| required N ,he Oyer-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 25 feet =
| Wheel q inches in diameter. venting 8
inches water, IS equal to Power of IS
Horses.
! It is superior to the Tub or F|uuer Wheel
Tor it does not require more than one third
10 one half the water. and is utore durable,
and not much IT 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 Of
time. and uses rot more Than about one hat
The ,cater.
It IS superior to Wooden Wheels OF all
kinds; runs under back water, and secures
the entire head and fall.
| FCr Cotton Gins II is the only Wheel;
with small quantity of water, and under
any head. the Gin can he driven. (lt il
well known that Water Gin will turn or,
better Cotton and more of It in day.)
! On tide wafer, these Wheels can be run
IL to Is hours Oh, OF "a. and cos, but lutte,
compared with any other.
In level countries they can be used where
there is good supply of water, and head
Of only 2 or 8 feel; supersedng the use vi
steam. on account Of their cheapness.
The price of this Wheel. with right Of
use included. (o' Saw and Grisl Mills, va
res from Sl25 to $3.50 according to height
of head and work required to be performed
by them: the lowest head requiring the
hghes priced Wheel, aud the highest hra
the 'eaS, price.
FOR Cotton Gins, and other light ma
chnerv, the price varies from S75 to Sl25
i For Cotton Factories. Sc, no speclal
data as to price can be given. unl'l furnish
ed with particulars as to head, anI power
in each instance required.
sLJo With the Grlst Mill Wha, s fur

The Shafts for all are turned off a, besr~
ings, the Wheel fred 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. (a5-together ,rilh
chat is furnished in connection Nth The
Wheel,) is the very cheapest Water Wheel
ever yet offered TO the Public!
In a word. these Wheels challenge com.
partisan. m.der any named forfeiture with
any other Patent Wheels IN use, and claim
as a motive power to be entirely superior
TO any other motive power known.
