THE MOTIVE POWER.

The MOIIVE POWER.
The engine and boiler which have been plan
ned and constructed for driving the '.Combina-
ton Mfll,'' are so compact and substantial and
so easily managed that almost every extensive
farmer or planter would find them as conve-
nent and valuable for the farm or plantation as
span of horses or I yoke of oxen. No one
need be deferred from the possessor of this
motive power, by appTehensions of difficulty
in running or taking care of it, for tits so sim
plified as to be within tile comprehension OF
any judicious person, who will note the instruc-
tions always furnished with it. t.---
The engine is nine feet long, has an eight
inch cylinder, eighteen inch stroke, with feed
pump attached to and operated by the engine
The driving puily, which also serves for bal
ance wheel, is FIVE feet in diameter and ten inch
face.
The boiler is Of locomotive construction, 1 O
feet long, containing A tubes, p inches in di-
ameter. The fire box SO inches long and q
inches wide; smoke pipes 18 inches in diane
ter and SO feet long.
The engine and boiler which we usually fur
nishmay be rated at fourteen horse power,
which is sufficient to drive the Mill, togethe
with circular saw, shingle mill, small grisi
mill, or other machinery of similar character
As surplus power is always of great advantage
this is the power we always furnish with the
mill.
PRICES:
= We furnish thease mills and powers as des
cribed above, tf'aiSs;ng Eng all the screws, bolts
gEa, iHclue; saw; pump, wrenciles
crowhars, and esrythins necessary to be used
in or about the nh Ii in running, excepting the
two long bed pieces and the wood work of the
carriage, which can easily be made anywhere
the whole put up and boxed, and delivered to
this city, on board the desired transportation
line, for $1,000, with the addition of freight
from New York, say $125.
To parties desiring larger power, we can fur
nish an engine and boiler of eighteen horse pow
er, constructed in the same style as the above.
with mill containing an eight foot saw, and
other part corresponding, for $1,000.
The above are our lowest cash terms, paya-
Bile on delivery in the city.
PORTABILITY AND FREIGHTAGE.
The mill and power as described above, all
complete, weighs five tous, as follows:
Boiler, with connexions, ...... ..3 400 lbs.
Engine, ,..s.'. ...... .... ..... .....2 400 lbs.
The whole establishment, with four or five
yoke of oxen, either upon carts, wagons
trucks, can be easily moved at the rate of from
Is to 90 miles per day. The entire machinery
can be taken apart. and put together again in
few hours time. Thus the necessity of moving
the logs a long distance to the mill, is entirely
obviated, as it is much cheaper to move the mill
to the logs. AS it will be perceived, there is
no mason work required, and no building,
less the parties choosesto erect rough shed to
protect the operators from the weather.
HOW MUCH IT WILL DO.
The speed Of this Mill is about three hun
dred stroks of the saw per minute, and the feed
from rs to of an inch for every stroke de-
pending upon the character, of the timberr.-
Thus, at a medium speed the saw would cut
through log II feet long in from to two
minutes.
From this data, any practical man can see
that it is capable of cutting about 5000 feet of
inch boards in II hours.
1t will saw more rapidly taaR any mill We
have eyer seen, while its adva antages over the
circular milf are, that it is cheaper, requires
less power to run it, is much less liable TO get
out of order, is much less expensive to repair,
when damaged, does less imperfect work,
wastes less in cutting, is not dangerous to the
parties attending it like the circular mill, and
is capable of cutting much larger timber.
The segments and friction wheels we furnish
for the carriage sufficient to saw logs TWEEN
ty-fonr feet long. An extra length viii be sent
when desired, and an extra charge made. The
pump sent is worked by the engine, add is suf-
it is desirable to raise water to supply the boil
CT, fram greater depth, force pump will be
furnished and an extra charge made for it,
Drawings and full explanations are sent with
| each mill, also complete model, showing all
the parts put together small scaie, with
each part numbered the same as the correspon-
ding part of the machinery of the mill. Thus
assurance is made doubly sure, that no one can
fail 20 put up the mill and run it without diff
Guilty.
/ The .Combiaatfon Mill,' is confidently Of
fered to the pablics as the most simple, efficient
and practicable machine for manufacturing
lumber ever produced. -svss -.s-.-a7
