The object OF my pneumatic apparatus is to
charge or NIL reservoirs or cOnduits with COM
l-presSed eriform bodies by means OF some
known mechanical power. The force-pumps

What I claim as my invention, and desire TO
secure by letters patent of the United States is:
l. The method OF cOmpreSSing or packing
gaseous mediums in a reservoir for the purpose
OF being used as means OF storing and trans
mitting power beyond the apparatus itself by
means of pump or condenser, com bined with
the means of absorbing the heat evolved in the
process Of compression, and with a reservoir
ting the power confined in the compressed me
diums or impaired by the cOndensfng apparat-
us, substantially as described.
. The employment OF a main reservoir filed
with gaseous mediums compressed by means
OF pumps or other cOndenSing apparatus and
fitted with suitable pipes, tubes, stOp-cocks
valves, valve-gearing, and appendageS for the
purpose OF storing, retaining, distributing and
transmitting, for use outside Of the cOndenSing
apparatus or mechanism the power confined
in the compressed mediums or impaired by
the condensed apparatus, substantially as de-
scribed.
g. The use OF metallic reservoirs. pipes, tubes,
and other accompanying mechanism, coated
on the inside with elOse-grained metals, yege-
table gums, resins, oils or extracts, when nlled
with compressed mediums, TO prevent the es-
cape Of the gaseous bodies through the pores Of
the Investing metal as above described.
l. The use Of the rcfrigerating cooling ap-
paratus with the cylinder in which the gaseous
mediums are condensed for the purposes OF
power, when combined with the cylinder eth
er externally or internally substantially as de-
Scribed. 80, -,
valves and connections, for the purpose OF
cSnsfng "a current of cool fluid to circulate
through the piston and connections, for the
nurDoSe and in the manner set forth.
q The combination OF q reservoir OF COM
pressed gaseous mediums by means of tubes or
valves and other proper connections and ap-
pendages, through and by means Of which the
power confined in the compressed mediums
may be drawn of for use and for the purpose OF
Transmitting power to machinery outside OF
the cOndensing apparatus.

l. The serial compression, whether effected
simultaneously, by two or more compressOrE,
in gang, by first charging one or more reser-
volrs, then transferring that condensed matter
through the same compreSsors, and adding
greater condensation before again entering n
reservoir or canduit, and the privilege OF facIl-
ity TO retrigerafe anywhere at any stage OF con-
densatiOn, either by immersion of any or all
parts Of the apparatus, or by the other mode
stated. .. rUF
2 The said apparatus and mechanism, and
the several parts thereof, aS claimed In the
other division Of my reissued patent, when
used to produce cooling, disinfecting, or thera-
peutic and chemical effect by inIuslng into the
OF the sick-rOOm or the wards OF
hospitals OF other Enclosures talso the couches
or mattresses on which sick persons or invalidS
reclinel compressed air or other gases and vap-
Ors, singly, or combined in due proportions, 10
the special diseases or eases being treated, on
insulated bedsteads OF bedding, ifdeslrabie, to
