INPRoyEEENr on THE STEAMENGINE.-W We
witnessed yesterday some experiments by Mr.
Peter Yates, Of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his
newly invented Pulley Engine, for which many So
peiior advantages are claimed. The experiment
worked well. and appeared to give very general
satisfaction The history OF the inyentonis briefly
as follows; About year ago, MI. Yates came
hther to test certain improvements OF his upon the
Steam. FL CINE two boats were constructed, each
50 feet long, and as nearly alike as possble with
waer.whees fihe size, and boilers with cylinder,
ofthe same bore One ofhe engines constructed upon
the usua plan-the other npon Mr. Ys recently patented
Improvement patented, We believe in April last Wih
these boats thus equipped, some hsfdozen experiments
were made. Having succeeded beyond expectation the
Inventor addressed rose the Secretary Of the Navy,
soliciting the appointment OF Committee TO examine and
report upon the Marine Engine thus brought before
in.Chefoflhe Navy Department was dePuted arrived ard
made the examination the l9sh ult 90 this occasion.
boh boats wererun the time and with the
pressure ofstesm-hey respectively named the Pulley
and Crank aner their Engines 1.-The Pulley having the
new invention The Crank, although carrying one third
more steam to each revolution than the Pulley rapidly

The report OF Mr. Haset has not yet transped but 10
thought will be favorable TO the proectYessrlsy Sfters

ton OF Mr. Yates al foot OF wsshngtonst Brooklyn
and made an excurion with both boats Governors
Island aud baek-tho Pulley usual with onelhird
steam, leading the Crank both down and sgans the tide
The party appeared highly gratihed with the result
From these experiments 1t would appear that with Q
cylinder Of 4Sinch stroke the Pulley Engine Is cspsble
turning sameszed wheel the Cnank Engine faster
than Crank with too strokes Of 81 inches each Tha
Crank therefore, using onethrd each reyo
luton the Pulley the Pulley Ia entitled make one
third more revolutions than the Crank to equal the con-
sumption OF steam The value OF onethd revolutions
TO the same Of Ia the Marine Engine 10 an
advantage which, stanable engineers will not a to
appreciate This improvement also believed to be s1pe
nor for marine purposes OF lie constant and up
form leverage every point OF the revolution and lie entire
revolution at every stroke OF the piston.
Mr. Yates eniertains confident belief that with these
engines In full operation vessel would psss through any
sea with speed and safety and ventures the assertion that
with the iame amount OF used In the ordinary
steamers bis application would send them the Allan.

visit the boats which the engine Is attached at the
Washington pier Brooklyn, where the inventor viii be
happy to receive suggestions exhibit the workings Of bis
important plan.
