The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-04-09

our new engine, from newspaper pub
fishers and others, who use a small
power. All power presses and job press
es can be run by this kind of an engine
Also small corn mills, cider mills, sor-
ghum mills, bark mills, etc. What is de-
sired by those interested, is to know the
cost, expense of running, safety, ETC.
Our engine was manufactured by
James Leffel d Co., of Springfield Ohio,
is warranted three horse power, weighs
100 lbs, cost $3.50 delivered on the cars
at Springfield. Freight to jackson, S. 60,
cost of getting up stairs to the third sto-
ry, $500, belts and pulleys $4,000,
| foundation, and other incidentals, say
| S25. 90 1t takes about as much room as
a large office stove. 1t was brought up a
stairway 81 inches in width. The above
cut is good representation of it. The
pipe goes on top, and by an elbow turns
into fue in the brick wall. We had a
frame three feet and a half square, six
inches high, made and set upon the floor.
In this a brick wall was laid in circle
as large as the bottom of the engine, and
the middle filled with sand. On the top
of the sand was laid brick floor to catch
the ashes under the CRATE. This brick
foundation is only three bricks in height.
The boiler and pump leaked little, and
wet the room below, so we had the en-
CINE raised and the foundations taken
up and a pan made of galvanized iron set
on the floor, and the foundation built in
this pan. A spout at one corner of the
pan takes the water to a small pan set
between the ioists on the plaster, where
a small portion of the floor was taken up,
and this is covered by loose board
The water tank we now use is barrel,
set on frame with the bottom as high as
top of engine.
We can raise steam and start two press
es in twenty minutes from the time the
fire is put in. When done for the day
the fire goes down at once, and there is
no danger. Either coal or wood can be
used. One and half bushels of Jackson
coal and two thirds of barrel of wa
ter will run it one day. We catch water
from the roof, by bringing a tin pipe
through window, and having few good
iron-hooped whisky barrels to hold it.
The engine needs no fastening, but is
solid, makes no iarring or trouble. 1t
makes about as much noise as healthy
katydid. The steam escapes inside of
smoke pipe. We have seen certificates
that the pressman or boy could attend
to it, but we prefer safety, and keep a
man to attend to it. 1t is so simple that
any sober man can run it after few
hours attention. The engineer can get
much time to fold papers, or distribute
jobs, if his job stone and cases are near
at hand.
We are going to arrange to draw all
our coal up by steam, as there is plenty
of surplus power.
Our pulleys are fastened to the floor,
which makes it convenient of access.
Our engine is warranted, and we had
thirty days to return it if it did not rem
der entire satisfaction, but we would not
have it taken away, and obligate ourself
not to get another, for one thousand dol
lars.
This little engine is called the Book
walter, and costs just one half the price
of the Baxter, and we are certain it is
just as good an engine.
Those publishers who think of getting
steam power would do well to come and
see our arrangements, as we now have
the most complete printing Office in all
its arrangements, that can be found in
this country, not excepting the large
cities.
