Mr. EIDER-Sir chcerfuy avail myself Of this opportu-
nifty give you few brief statements In reference 10 Pro
ssor Saoons New Mechanical Motor It your request
well a duty my country The facts the fol
arrived at Cincinnati on the sth Of October 1851 and on
the following day called TO Professor Saomons New
Mechanical Motor Of which had read accounts in the pub
lie papers DESTROYS TO the engine from the fact
that had for time previous been studying 20 make
the principle applicable motive to machinery
astonished and delighted I'm witnessing the consruc
ton and operation of the engine. my embodied idea
before me more perfect than had conceived
witnessed the operation for hour IL was uni
form perfect and of sufficient power to lift weight Of
1900 lbs twenty-five times in minute. This power
acd 10 turn the machinery of the shop appeared
he equal steamengnes commonly used in machinehops
The whole length this engine about twelve or fifteen feet
and suppose its weight might be about five or six tons The
furnace Is small shectiron PAM the size Of my hat aud
held about doublehandul of charcoal The machinery Is
not complicated than that of the seamengne, the
principle Of construction and operation being the same This
estimated TO be twenty-five horsepower engine, OF
which have given you brief description.
am pecuniariy interested in the Of the in
