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

iron Board Rollers, and wrought iron V Rails the
full length Of each section Of the Ways. All our
engines have surplus of boiler in proportion to
their cylinders, and when properly fred 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.

liability of our engines never using pound of me-
