DIVISION 4, no. 5,90I.

The object o. my pneumatic apparatus Is 10
charse or ny reservoirs or conduits with COM
known mechanical power. The force-pumDs
Y ~ seratinE-pipes r ~ f. ff''', and
main reservoir are stationary. aS shown In the
drawing, and the compressed gaseous mediums
are transferred from the fOrce-pump or pumps
or main pipes, or from this fixed main reser-
vor. by means Of pipes tubes sfop-cocl,s ana
the proper valves and valve-geariup and an
pendagc>. By means OF my invention the com
Pte>aeu -.t>l"uN 1ouleS can be used for the pur-
poses OF Transmitting power and To ranrodrca
some con>idridhie portion OF the power re-
yulIeu Inr liie compression, at the extremity OF
the conduit from the condenser or main reSer-
Nolr az any desired locality, within anv reason

forms Of steam engine or uun1ps or other r1ecb-
anlSiu suitable for the purpose and with or
without the addition OF heat. as may he re-. 70.
quiied' or l,N detachiug the reservoir from the
condenser the power contained in the COM
pressed air may be used for tn. purposas Of 10
comotion or navigation as well as foroperatfng
machinery.
The condenser may consist Of one or more
cylinders and piStonS. OF concentrIc cylinders
worked ey any power and diScharging the con-
1ensed huid into reservoir or through pipes
FOR use, gS aforesaid.
What claim as nay invention and desire IN
secure by letters patent Of the United States, Is:
l. Inc method OF COMPRISING OF packing
gaseous mediums In reservoir for the purpose
OF being used as means OF storing and trans
mitting power beyond the apparatus Itself nv
means OF pump or condenser combined with
the means OF absorbing the heat evolved in the
process Of compression, and with a reservoir
ana conduit suitable for holding and transmit

US, substantially as described.
The employment Of "a main reservoir filed

mediums are condensed for the purposes on
power when combined with the cylinder eith-
Scribed.
). The use OF the hollow piston with suitabIa

causing a current Of cool fluid to circulate
through the piston and connections for the
purpose and in the manner set forth
9. The combination OF "A reservoir OF rom,
