The object ui my pneumatic apparatus is TO
charge or fll reservoirs or cGuduitS with COM
pressed a-ritluu bodies by means OF some
known mechanical power. The iorce-pumpS
A. A., r-frierf;itiH-s- pipes f ~ ~ l'', ana
main reservoir are stationary, as shown lu the
drawing. and the com pressed gaseous mediums
are transferred from the torcc-pump or pumps
or main pipes, ur from this fixed main reSer-
VOir, by means ut pipes, tubes, Stol-cnck>, ana
the proper valves and ValVc-gcJriug and APP
peudagtS. Ry means of my invention the COM
pressed gaseous bodies can bc used Tor the pur-
poses OF tram ~mitiius power, and to reproduce
some considerable portion OF the power re

What claim as nay invention, and desire to
secure by letters patent of the United STATES Is:
I. The method Of compre<Sin.s or packing
gaseous mediums in a reservoir for the purpose
/ Of being used as a means OF storing and trans
mitting power beyond the apparatus itself by
means OF a pump or condenser, combined with
/ the means OF absorbing the heat evolved in the
/ PROCESS OF COMPRESSION. and with a reservoir
/ and conduit suitable for holding and transmit
/ Ting the power confined in the com pressed me-
| diumS or impaired 10y the cOndeuSing appITat-
uS, substantially as described.
! >. The employment of "a main reservoir filled
/ with gaseous mediums compressed by means
of pumps or other coudeuSlng apparatus, and
ntted with suitable pipes, tubes, Stup-cockSi
valves, valvc-gcaring, and appendices for the
purpose OF storing. retaining. distributing and
transmitting. for use outside of the cOndenSing
