TIE MACHINE SHOPS,
Where stationary engines are manutac-
tured, make q very important part of ga
LENS business. Take the Buckeye Works.
Messrs. Sharps, DsYis, BoRsall & Boone,
proprietors q single enterprise which in
its buildings andnecessary grounds around
comprise four or FIVE acres. Besides the
manufacture of Engines, large, perhaps,
as are made in the United States, they al
80 build the Improved Throttling Engines
of all sizes; Thresher Engines, Superior
| Portable Engines, for Printers and others
wanting Motive Power for Light Work /;
Portable Saw Mills, Merchant Saw Mills
of any Desired Capacity, and Halls Sslf-
| Acting Single and Heading Machines.
The proprietors of this Co. commenced
building Steam Engines, Saw Mills, and
machining generally, in Salem during the
year IS48. For several years previous to
that time, three of the Co. were employed
in the old Cuyahoga Works of Cleveland,
o, having now had an experience of over
| so years in the business: They COM
menced business with very small means
doing the principal part of their own
work.
Excepting a small Touring mill, their
works were totally destroyed by fire in
1865, no insurance. They nov have sub
stantial brick buildings with a floor space
of II acres. Machinery and Tools have
all been purchased from first class builders
since the fire in ls65-are new and "a
best oforder, and claims to have the best
collection Of tools for engine work il
North Eastern Ohio. The works have 8
capacity to employ from 100 to IT'S mer
and turn out from $4,000 to $400.00C
worth of machinery per annum. Now
employ $50 men.
Their specialties are Stationary, Auto,
matte and Throttling Engines of any ca
pacity up to 800 horse power. Agrieultu-
raj Engines, Light Motors for Printers anC
othera, Portable Saw Mills, Stationary o
Merchant Saw Mills Of any desired capac
ity, and the ~wellknown Hall Single ant
Heading Machine. Their light meteor 70
Printers, Dairymen and others, was tn
first of that class produced in the country
As now built, with animproved boiler, ii
intrinsic merit il not excelled BY any on
of its class in the market. Their price
D for them are reasonable but are not i
/ competition with some others of this clas
. of engines, which seem to be built for sal
: rather than for actual service.
Their automatic Governor cut of en-
gine, is q class of engines c~omparativel
! little known in the West, but has bee
T built in New England, perhaps, for 2
Y years, andis now really the only merchants
2 Bile engine in the Eastern States, where fu
q is expensive. 1t is an engine having its IL
duction valves so controlled by the actio
10 of the Governor, as to promptly cut Q
L the steam at any point in the stroke Il
It cutoff taking place early or late to q
Z commodate varied loads on the engin
l. and varied pressures in the boiler. II
ID object being to obtain full boiler pressu
le on the piston at the commencement
each stroke and maintain that full pre-
sure o. the piston to the point OF cut-o
J. leaving the balance Of the stroke to
D. completed by expansion. it thus being t
Ok Office Of the cutoff device to govern t
ae speed Of the engine by cutting the stei
Of earlier or later in the stroke, accor
h. ing to the load on the engine or !
amount Of pressure in the boiler.
