THAN ANY OTHER IN THE UNION.
nUR First Glass Engines, Portable and Station
" ary, have Globe Thottles, with two distinct
BRASS Valves. The Pumps all have Brass Ball
Valves and Stop Cocks All the bearings of the
Engines work on Brass or Rabbit metal-Valve
Rods jointed. All the joints are surfaced iron
joints, both in the cylinders and pumps. No gum
or packing used on our Engines. Our Mills have
iron Board Rollers, and wrought iron Rails the
full length of each section Of the Ways. All our
engines have q surplus of boiler in proportion to
their cylinders, and when properly fired will always
make more steam than the cylinders can use; for
they make steam just in proportion to their work ;
when running light they make less; load them
down and they will constantly blow off at the safe
ty valve.
We also have close eye to the weight and por-
liability of engines, never using pound OF me-
ts not necessary in their constructions and to IA

bad roads, the bed plate can be detached from the
boiler carrying with 1t all the machinery, dividing
the load and reducing the heaviest part to less than
